    The elements of old Filipino architecture once designed for natural ventilation & siestas is a good option against floods & typhoons.
    However the "silongs" has a stigma. To most Filipinos, stilt houses belong to the past.

    Maganda sana pero di pwede sa senior or disabled yan, unless may entrance na hindi kailangan stairs. Hirap nyan pag nag grocery ka, may maleta or appliance

    I became conscious of stairs kasi when my family got older iwas na sa stairs or malayong lakaran

    one need not be famous contractor.
    one need only money.
    heh heh heh.
    but i wonder, just how popular is it in our philippine setting?

    we were going to get one for our invalid relative,
    but the invalid relative pooh-poohed it. "hindi ko kailangan yan! kaya ko pang mag-hagdan, medyo mabagal lang nga!"

    Some twin storey structures make themselves PWD friendly via wheelchair lifts. Not nearly as pricey & as space-hogging as a small elevator for 4.

    ... against floods?
    definitely!
    but maybe stilt the garage also...

    against typhoons with strong wind?
    i'm not sure...
    maybe if it were more aerodynamic and/or sturdy?
    hehheh.
