AD100 architect Tom Kundig has developed a design for a family's dream home, which is to be situated on a flood-prone bayou in Mississippi.
Kundig's proposed architectural solution for this challenging site involves constructing the residence with an emphasis on verticality, a concept he articulated as 'the sky's the limit.' This design strategy aims to mitigate the inherent risks associated with building in an environment susceptible to flooding.
According to Wired, this innovative design approach is considered a response to climate change.
