Parkland Flood Resilient House
The Parkland House is located in an existing flood zone, and the spaces under the existing home and extension are at risk of flooding. Finishes throughout have been selected for their flood resilience, and the spaces have been designed with ease of recovery in mind.
The family pass through the secure central stair daily to access the garage, laundry and garden spaces. The battens and breeze blocks allow cooling breezes to pass through the stair, and filter through the undercroft spaces.
In the event of a flood, the permeable and flood resilient construction will allow water to freely exit the spaces.
