That one did well. The Queenslanders were just wood on stilts. The new builds need to be built with a Cyclone rating though. The one we lived in there had a high rating.
The dome place we went to looked good, I couldn't find anything like it in searches. It helped looks wise too I guess being surrounded by tropical rain forest.
I never knew there were cyclone, hurricane proof stilt homes.
Wasn't for hurricane but rather Michigan clime.
Earth berm. The easy way without needing a sidehill.
Looked like a concrete egg on end with the bottom flat for floor , to start.
A couple skylights and vents.
A door and a couple South facing windows.
the pouter concrete was foamed over. Then tarred. Then tons and tons of sand dumped atop except for bottom of South side. Then seeded for grass ect.
Not flood proof. But the wind didn't annoy it.
Visited a below ground barn, After the shed on the hill was revealed to have removable planks on it's floor to use the hoist with it's cylinder below.
Backside of hill had a door. Approach like a cellar door. It's slope helping hide the entrance.
A window was overgrown.
But ., it was a snug barn underground at one time.
Winter animals would have been comfy.
Old timbers looked at close seemed to be in good shape still.
