Coastal house plans on pilings

Elevated house plans are primarily designed for homes located in flood zones. The foundations for these home designs typically utilize pilings, piers, stilts or CMU block walls to raise the home off grade. Many lots in coastal areas (seaside, lake and river) are assigned base flood elevation certificates which dictate how high off the ground the first living level of a home must be built. The height is determined by flood maps created by FEMA and enforced by local building departments…

Inverted floor plans offer a great design solution for taking advantage of water views. These home designs, also called “reverse story” or “upside down” house plans, position the living areas on the highest floor while allocating space for the sleeping areas to the middle or lower floors. Many coastal properties (ocean, lake, bay or river) have obstructions that block the coveted water views. There’s nothing quite like a long view over water. Life from the top floor never looked so good!
