Smart Design Of Some Houses

Smart Design Of Some Houses
Some houses are designed to be intelligent. Others have fancy designs. An example of the second type of home has won an Award of Excellence from the American Institute of Architects.

Situated on the shore of Sullivan's Island off the coast of South Carolina, winning beach house in a bucket was built to replace an IWC shattered by Hurricane Hugo 10 years ago in September 1989. Hugo struck South Carolina, killing 18 people and

damaging or destroying 36 000 houses in the old.

Before Hugo, many new houses along the coast of South Carolina have been poorly constructed, and enforcement of building

codes was not strictly by the architect Ray Huff, who created the cleverly designed beach house. In the wake of Hugo, all new

coastal homes are required to meet the strictest codes cheap swarovski in the strict sense. The beach house on Sullivan's Island should still be able to withstand a Category 3 hurricane with top winds of 179 to 209 kilometers per hour.

At first glance, the house on Sullivan's Island looks anything but hurricane-proof. Sequoia makes its shell looks like "a big party lantern" at night, as an observer. But appearances can be deceiving. wood frame houses are armed with long steel rods for added strength.

To better protect the home against damage caused by the cyclone, Huff has raised 2.7 meters of soil on wooden piles, columns

long, thin wood deeply embedded in the sand. Piles may seem worried, shelter strong enough to withstand the weight of the

house. They also raise my house above the storm surge. The batteries can be upgraded to run at home instead of running in ii,"These waves of water reaching the coast at tremendous speed and cause damage to buildings on the waterfront." Huff said.

"shell conceals the pillars so that the house does not look like he is standing with his pants legs pulled," said Huff. In the case of a flood, the reservoir break and let the waves below the house, the architect explained.
