Context for My House

Context

            The idea for this home came from the idea of making a hurricane proof house.  Living on the coast of one of the most hurricane prone places in America, Pensacola Beach, the Siglers were sick of rebuilding their entire home after almost every tropical storm season.  They came up with a plan to try to get a house that could withstand a hurricane.  Then they found Dragon Speed Design Group who designs Dome’s.  They then came up with the idea to create the Hurricane Proof house.   They used curved walls and roofs to “bend” water and wind around the building so that the house can withstand the drastic weather conditions the area experiences.  They really came up with some very new and creative ways to build magnificent houses with great strength.
