位于迈阿密最极端的食品区，布里尔哈特建筑事务所的这个海滨项目为提升沿海建筑提供了一种新的设计美学。斯图尔特大道的住宅不仅从适应性和弹性的角度应对环境挑战，而且还融入了创造性的建筑装置，提供了概念性的、基于材料的策略–提升了迈阿密的滨水景观。

Located in Miami’s most extreme food zone, this waterfront project by Brillhart Architecture offers a new design aesthetic for elevated coastal architecture. The Stewart Avenue residence not only tackles environmental challenges from an adaptation and resiliency point of view but also incorporates inventive architectural devices that offer conceptual, material-based strategies – elevating Miami’s waterfront landscape.

布拉德-赫尔曼在2017年经历了艾尔玛飓风之后，他知道是时候建造新的东西了。他原来的1923年的房子–位于距离比斯坎湾仅900英尺的运河上，位于理想的南椰林社区–遭受了飓风和热带风暴的严重破坏，从2005年的威尔玛开始，就在他购买房子的几个月后。每次都要花几个月的时间才能恢复正常，把保险理顺并完成维修。

After Brad Herman went through Hurricane Irma in 2017, he knew it was time to build something new. His original 1923 home — located on a canal just 900 feet from Biscayne Bay in a desirable South Coconut Grove neighborhood — had sustained significant damage from hurricanes and tropical storms, beginning with Wilma in 2005, just months after he purchased the home. Each time, it took months to return to normal, getting the insurance straightened out and repairs completed.

由于联邦紧急事务管理局的洪水保险的赔付上限为25万美元的建筑保险（对于修复房屋的重大结构性损坏来说，这是一个相对较小的数额）；随着时间的推移，这成了一个拼凑的问题，根本不值得再去努力。赫曼现在是镇上著名的外科医生，他找到了Brillhart建筑公司，在同一地点建造新的住宅。

As FEMA’s flood insurance caps the payout to $250,000 in building coverage (a relatively small amount to repair significant structural damage to a home); it became a matter of patchwork over time and simply no longer worth the effort. Herman, now a prominent surgeon in town, sought out the architecture firm Brillhart Architecture to build a new residence on the same site.

该项目位于迈阿密最极端的洪水区（VE）–项目的第一层必须在海平面以上12英尺的高跷上加高（整整一层）–该项目是专门为了应对飓风、风暴潮、洪水和海平面上升而设计的。通过斯图尔特大道住宅项目，布里尔哈特建筑事务所试图从根本上重新思考如何提升/加强高架住宅结构的建筑设计：1）将底层空间作为建筑的一个基本和值得称道的方面；2）在空中重新构建一个新的地平面；3）打破建筑体量，使建筑不那么气派，更具热带风情。

Located within Miami’s most extreme flood zone (VE) – where projects must have their first floor raised on stilts 12’ above sea level (an entire story) – this project was designed specifically to respond to hurricanes, and storms surges, flooding, and sea-level rise. With the Stewart Avenue Residence, Brillhart Architecture sought to fundamentally re-think how to elevate/enhance the architectural design of elevated residential structures by 1) embracing the understory space as a fundamental and celebrated aspect of the architecture; 2) reconstituting a new ground plane in the sky and 3) breaking up the massing to make the building less imposing and more tropical.

因此，自该项目破土动工以来，人们一直在注意它。”它看起来就是和迈阿密的其他建筑不一样，设计的细节和材料以及周到的程度都达到了PAMM博物馆的水平。现在它已经完工了，每周至少有一到两次有人来敲我的门，问我是否会考虑出售。甚至还有人来看了附近的其他房子后停下来，说他们想买我的房子，”赫尔曼说。

As a result, people have been taking notice of the project since it broke ground. “It just doesn’t look like anything else in Miami, and the details and materials and thoughtfulness of the design are at the level of the PAMM museum. Now that it is complete, I have someone knocking on my door at least one-two times a week to ask me if I would consider selling. I’ve even had people who came to look at other houses in the neighborhood stop and say that they want to buy my house instead.” says Herman.

虽然高架结构并不新鲜（想想美国沿海社区在电线杆上架起的房屋），但在我们面临气候变化不断升级的现实时，”高架房屋 “的设计策略正成为在滨水区建设的先决条件。典型的建筑基本上是拿起一个看起来属于地面的房子，然后把它扔在一系列的柱子上面，而不考虑底层的设计或上面的可居住空间。

While raised structures are not new (think coastal communities across the US with homes raised on telephone poles), the “house on stilts” design strategy is becoming a pre-condition for building on the waterfront as we face the escalating realities of climate change. The typical construction essentially picks up a house that looks like it belongs on the ground and drops it on top of a series of columns, without regard for a design either on the ground floor or the habitable space above.
