Orient Flood Resilient Home

The passage from entry door and garage to interior spaces passes through the internal courtyard walkway, providing breathing room between the outside world and the home. Linked by a timber deck walkway, this space is secure and weather protected, whilst providing the benefits of the natural landscape. Being built in a flood zone, the walls are required to be single skin construction. Walls are single skin, with timber battens, exterior grade sheeting and polycarbonate panelling. Cabinetry has been minimized to the essential, and power provisions need to be well above the flood line. With wall and cabinet structure on display, neat construction is essential.
