Well the RIBA did not agree withy you hence the award, and also your choice of architectual descriptive adjectives seems to suggest you need to take more water with your whisky!
A wonderful and inspiring design.

[...] What if instead of building levee’s or buying back land and paying flood insurance and sandbaging for weeks we changed the way we thought about our architecture and the steps we take to change our world to our liking. For those of you who are fans of modern architecture, the design is beautiful as well. http://www.archdaily.com/24363/hind-house-john-pardey-architects/ [...]

Wonderful settingand reacion, great building. Interesting narratives and so. Pitty that spaces are now ‘enclosed’ rather than ‘open’ to the direct environment.

Nice filosophical note Fino but come on people… It really does’nt take much of a genius to come up with an elevated house as response to the need of elevation…… Don’t get me wrong! I Like THE IDEA of a house hovering over a flooded garden, I just think they shold have designed a nice house too, the proprotions are hidious, the composition of boxes and graphics are trying to be very basic but it fucks that up too and is just messy. And in general the mix of deadtech and treehouse aethetics is (not uncommon but) terrible, what are people thinking when they build such crap? Boyscouts hut meets airport..?
And at groundlevel it creates a big and dark space, seemingly only used to park a Landrover..

I wonder if le corbusier thought about that on the v. saboye lol

in this case I find it completly justificated the use of pilots, kinda obvious solution to the problem.

the interiors are beatiful, and it woulded be nice if they solved the problem with the cars and floodings, so the house can be really independent on forecasts or things like that

This is a great response to a site. I particularly like the photos of the site under water. I am working on a flood replacement dwelling, but the site is large enough to put the new house on higher ground.
