Skip to product information
Original March 1984 FEMA 54 publication, Elevated Residential Structures. This illustrated manual captures the architecture, engineering, and federal flood-mitigation thinking used to design elevated American homes during the early 1980s.
Created for architects, builders, developers, planners, and engineers, the manual examines how homes could be raised above riverine and coastal flooding while remaining functional and visually appealing. Period photographs, architectural drawings, maps, and case studies document elevated houses and communities in Bridgeport, Charleston, Newport, San Francisco, Chicago, and other locations.
Topics include floodplain management, the National Flood Insurance Program, site selection, coastal and river flooding, architectural design examples, elevated foundations, posts, piles, piers, shear walls, bracing, framing, breakaway walls, utilities, construction costs, and retrofitting existing structures.
A fascinating piece of 1980s FEMA and American architectural history for collectors, coastal homeowners, architects, civil engineers, urban planners, builders, and researchers interested in how flood-resistant housing developed.
Softcover shows age toning, surface wear, light staining and soiling, bumped corners, and tape reinforcement near the lower spine. Interior pages show light age-related wear but remain readable. Please review the photographs for exact condition.
