The vernacular architecture of southern Louisiana and Mississippi are built up off the ground, frequently with substantial masonry pillars supporting a classical porch above. Sometimes the space below is used for a garage or other minor uses. This seems to be the universal design solution for flood prone areas, until modern man decided technology can conquer nature.

Tom Kundig's "Delta Shelter"
Built on stilts in a flood plain.

I had the pleasure of meeting this guy! Probably one of my all time favourite architects, master of the vernacular.
Check out the internal images as well......the whole facade can be opened by the turn of a wheel hahaha
