The Flood House was designed in 2009 by Colorado architect, Alex Gore of F9 Productions, and is an innovative and flood resilient architecturally designed home, inspired by the flood-prone experiences of Fargo North Dakota. Elevated above the ground to protect the main level when flooding occurs, it also features steel siding for floating debris protection and operable steel curtain panels for light control. The unique home raised above the ground level ensures the occupants self-sufficiency during power outages with solar panels and a cistern for water collection during municipal water outages, while R-50 spray foam insulation in the roof, floors, and walls maintains warmth in the home with only a small amount of heating energy needed. The sun deck offers a fire pit, bar, grill, and dining table for summer entertainment. Interior privacy is ensured with translucent glass wainscoting, and a central storage wall provides ample space for essentials. Elevated living spaces, including bedrooms and key utilities, safeguard against flooding, and a fireplace offers supplementary heat. The design also facilitates safe boating access via a private dock for supply regeneration and emergency rescue.
