After Hurricane Sandy's devastating floods in 2012, homeowners Valari and R.C. Staab wanted their beach-front home designed with rising sea levels in mind.
@@rcstaab also on SJ shore. We built 14' above flood and hurricane graded/bolted roof. Pass throughs in foundation, etc. But most honest part of designing my house and of your philosophy - "we can only do what we do and mother nature will take back what she will". There's a price to pay to have the best sunrise and sunset on earth with amazing memories and perfect beach days. Cheers
facing the water with no trees around also removes the possibility of a branch or other projectile breaking the window, which is how that happens most of the time. If the windows are a strong enough type of glass they would be fine in most cases.
How is this house designed to survive a hurricane? You've shown how it can accommodate medium flooding, but that does not accommodate *a hurricane* in that wind is not presented as an obstacle. Perhaps this video is better named as a utility for those looking for flood mitigation.
Wow, I guess the winds are not a factor then. All that wood crap is gonna blow right off/maybe even down, this house isn't gonna with stand much, a couple of good decisions were made, but then allot of bad decisions were made, making the good decisions, mean nothing. You would think they would have learned. Granted the real issue is cars, that run on gas and that pollute, and using items that are not sustainable/renewable. I guess this is a case of a reporter, just taking information they had, and thinking it was true, because of there lack of knowledge, how hard would it have been to one think about it for a second, and fact check a few things as well, granted he did say mother natures gonna do what it wants to regardless, well definitely with this house anyway. We should be using more solar, and batteries for that, which are built to last a long long time, like 30 plus years, and that don't require much charging, nor long charge times, and have long batterie life/holds allot of electricity, and that has allot of mah, like 100thousand plus mah. Graphine batteries, isn't a terrible choice/upgrade from lithion batteries, but I'm sure theres even better options available. Anyway this isn't going to prevent this house from blowing away.
Beach houses NEED to be designed to survive hurricanes; the cost to reconstruct non- hurricane survivable houses is astronomical and results in higher insurance rates for everyone.
Connie Crawford , everybody should petition their congressman or senators to mandate this because in the end everyone around the country ends up paying for it through tax funded disaster relief funds which are always in the billions. All homes should be concrete, 10 ft above sea level, with channels for water flow, and windows should be rated at 200mph.
This is true. The poor pays for the beachfront houses of the rich. All they have to do is get the fake news to broadcast the destruction and elicit sympathies from the easily-fooled masses.
I don't think a meager 2 feet above FEMA standards is anywhere near high enough. I'd shoot for 30 feet. These hurricanes are getting stronger every year, and I heard Houston's floods were as high as 20 feet.
Flooding in the city was simply because it's so much rain in a little amount of time. 2 feet above FEMA is to protect against the seas storm surges. I think that will protect the house for the next decade but with sea levels rising and storms getting stronger. It wont work forever and we cant just building homes in the air like a skyscraper.
This is a brilliant video that shows off good innovation - shows the way. Wish architects would comment more on hurricane proofing and solutions to the window vulnerability commented on below?
@@ultrakwon how about the zombies bite the living hell out of the sharks and crocodiles that make a bigger prove on land and in water. I'm lucky I live in the UK like just block borders and blow up channel tunnel and live on a giant island. I think Ill be fine here as we don't have crocodiles or sharks either
I can tell this men has not gone threw a Hurracan like i have .Surviving Andrew and Irma in Miami, Florida he has not seen the real shit yet in person when that wind starts hitting your walls like punches.Poor men lives in a fantacy world.
Windows are too big to survive a major hurricane even if they are impact resistant. More than likely the house would be washed away if there were a high storm surge. At a minimum, the house should have been built on concrete stilts to allow the water to flow through effortlessly. I can't imagine what it would be like for 125 mph winds roaring through that channel. Aesthetically, the house is beautiful
130mph winds and those windows are all gone. You'll have to board everything up. Even then the odds of the windows breaking from the pressure are still high.
I'm sorry but has anyone noticed that large glass windows. If anything comes flying at that you won't be protected much. So it might be flood proof but definetly is not hurricane proof.
@@squidwardtortillini8816 I wouldn't be writing a comment if I didn't search first. I looked and they can still smash if constant damage is applied to the window
Smashed windows is actually not a big deal. The windows will smash bit usually there is a polycarbonate later in between that will still stay up. After the hurricane you can just replace the windows. The windows will break but there will be no penetration.
Not only that where is the fucking pillars . Instead of pillars on the side there is gigantic windows . Fuck westerners and their love affair with the windows
Probably cost more 💲💲 but then if a hurricane flattened a normal kind of house then that in itself would be costly ( unless you have hurricane insurance which can also be costly (?) ). Have to weigh all these things up I suppose...as well as for safety reasons too no doubt.
I don't see this house standing up to a hurricane. Yes the bones may be there to make rebuilding but you sure wouldn't want to ride out a hurricane in this home which is the true test of the claim that it will survive in a hurricane.
It’s only helps with flooding not hurricanes. All the glasses would be destroyed within 5 mins and I’m not sure if the building would be standing after. It would be dried tho lol 😂
lol, really now?? The walls might stand up but everything else in that cute house will be torn to pieces by a category 5 hurricane, Tossed salad style.
You might want to showcase your house on a station other than Fake News CNN. Simply put, more people watched SpongeBob reruns this week than those who have seen your house on Fake News CNN.
Tests prove this design will not survive a hurricane hit. Why are you releasing the video? If one person buys this design based on this then you already have blood on your hands already
he aint going at shit ! y'all stretching it . he never even responded to him... he only reposted it cause clearly a dan made that and lil beech found it funny . calm down
Good luck. I mean, this house versus 30 foot storm surge as well as 155MPH winds (cat 4) .... I will not take that bet. We should stop kidding ourselves and acknowledge that radical steps are needed to improve the environment and prevent further global warming (leading to stronger, more frequent hurricanes). I am really starting to think that this was some reverse psychology, straw man video.
Looks really nice, but I would rather live where hurricanes do not hit.
Then forget about living near the ocean.
Don't you live in earthquake country.? At least we get a warning. (and hello from your old Zip2 days)

* Designs house to survive a hurricane, yet puts in large glass panels everywhere *
My sentiment exactly! lol
They make impact resistant windows. Can withstand pressures from 200mph winds and direct shots of debris without failure.
You could watch the flood through the windows- yikes!!! Hope they dont break in
facing the water with no trees around also removes the possibility of a branch or other projectile breaking the window, which is how that happens most of the time. If the windows are a strong enough type of glass they would be fine in most cases.
I was in a hurricane proof windowed building when Irma hit. Nothing happened.

Make it zombie proof then I’ll be impressed
If there's a flood, the zombies will drown if crocodiles and sharks don't get to them first.

A storm surge is usually 20-30ft

Yep flying debris would easily get through those windows
@@squidwardtortillini8816 LOL as a floridian with 10 thousand dollar hurricanes proof windows, I cant help but laugh at the idiots.
Very cool
Yeah giant windows are really strong... great design.
no way in Hell that house cannot withstand 150mph winds
A normal house can withstand winds more then 100mph. So I definitely believe it can withstand more then 150mph.
@@reginageorge7079 concrete can handle it.
@@reginageorge7079 This is New Jersey we don't expect a 150 miles per hour storm

This box is designed to fail. Trust me a box will not stand chance .
one day i gonna own it
beautiful house. how much did it cost you to build that?
You mean it was build using concrete like every house in Europe!😁😁
Does it consider the evolution of the coast?
WOW!
NJ ❤
You know desperate neighbors are gonna be suing them for having that 14 ft under-passage to let the flood through, just human nature
My wallet isn’t designed to survive that house
JUST FUCKING COMMON SENSE
what happens when debris blocks the channel and creates a dam?
No storm shutters or roll shutters ?
Cool
So it's just higher and has a drain?
how much did this cost to construct?
Can it survive a tidal wave?
Brick and mortar, simple
This is What you Get when you Flollow the Building Code!, SECURITY BEFORE CONVINIENCE!!!
Probably cost more 💲💲 but then if a hurricane flattened a normal kind of house then that in itself would be costly ( unless you have hurricane insurance which can also be costly (?) ). Have to weigh all these things up I suppose...as well as for safety reasons too no doubt.
That edge window thus that river side ahahah another million gonna wasted
Only flood matters? H
What about the the strong winds and elements flying with those large glass windows?
Build houses in Moon. They withstand hurricanes.
#SafetyInConvinience
With all of that glass, I don’t think so.
Well, technically, every house designed using IBC and ASCE standards (pretty much anywhere) is designed for a hurricane...
You said how it could survive a flood... but what about 180 mph winds..??
I'm sure this house is very expensive, so I other words the rich are enjoying life better.
Any house built with concrete can withstand a hurricane.
Have you seen buildings in Florida?
hurricanes: hold my beer..
But this is not affordable construction I think. How much just the construction?
Guys their is a huge sea wall I surf there the sea wall is like 15 feet
don't think this house can survive a utility pole coming at it at 60 mph
Direct the water to your neighbors house
Bahamas & Florida would need this. Doesn’t look affordable so it is useless.
Too bad I can't afford it!
Member that episode in the sopranos where Tony send a guy on a put to blast loud music at a dudes house? I member.
I wish i could build the design in minecraft
Yeah men... Mother nature can take whatever whenever she wants
Skip Bayless getting conned
JUST BUY A FLOATING HOUSE!
I don't see this house standing up to a hurricane. Yes the bones may be there to make rebuilding but you sure wouldn't want to ride out a hurricane in this home which is the true test of the claim that it will survive in a hurricane.
You showing only flood mitigation wheres the hurricane wind load haha .
I need help building amphibious homes for people to survive tsunami.
So everyone can’t afford this huh?
Subsidize this it’s cheaper for tax payers
why not build a house that float with the water and tie securely on anchors
It’s only helps with flooding not hurricanes. All the glasses would be destroyed within 5 mins and I’m not sure if the building would be standing after. It would be dried tho lol 😂
Here's a house that actually survived a hurricane: th-cam.com/video/eLjsDQyW5Y8/w-d-xo.html
And what the price? Oh yeah above a million dollars
This won't survive a hurricane the glasses will shatter.. it will survive flooding mayb
I Like This House New Jersey I Like White American Community 🇺🇸
Lol will be underwater in 30 years
lol? is that a state?
