Description
Description | The Treehouse on Buffalo Speedway is a flood-resilient modular home built on a Houston, Texas lot that has flooded twice. The primary living spaces are elevated nine feet above grade within the site's oak canopy, with the garage, gym, shop, and storage forming a resilient concrete base below. The home features a central circulation spine, a glass bridge called the 'skywalk', and outdoor terraces leading to a backyard and pool. It was built using prefabricated modules with minimal site disturbance and incorporates sustainable features such as low-flow plumbing, low VOC materials, low-e windows, fire-resistant exterior materials, Energy Star appliances, and high-efficiency insulation. |
