Stilt houses are well suited to coastal regions and subtropical climates.
They protect against floods, maximize views and allow homeowners to build on rocky, steep or unstable land.
They also keep out animals and vermin, provide ventilation under the house and minimize a house’s footprint.
The stilt house allows ventilation and cool air to flow under the house. Protects the main structure from termites and other pests and allows the water to flow naturally during the rainy season
