A house built to last a minor tsunami
by brian lam

Nothing man can make can outlast the punishment of the natural world (except styrofoam and gilligan island reruns) but the house Peter Dwares built in Stinson beach can escape some of the minor disasters associated with living on beach front property.
His home’s elevated to survive drastic sea level rises, tsunamis through the use of a floating concrete foundation and reinforced pillars. [Dwell
