# Hovering Indestructible Homes The Stamp House by Charles Wright Architects Withstands Cyclones By Alexandra Serrano | Published 2013-03-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stamp-house-by-charles-wright-architects References: [dezeen](http://www.dezeen.com/2013/03/04/stamp-house-charles-wright-architects-withstands-cyclones/) & [wrightarchitects.au](http://www.wrightarchitects.com.au/) Located in northern Queensland, the Stamp House by Charles Wright Architects boasts a modernist look that seems to defy gravity. The [cantilevered construction](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tallowwood-cabin) hovers over a lake, in a tropical area. While the beach and rain forest views are certainly beautiful, they come at a price -- the area's climate is prone to [tropical cyclones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ocean-eye). According to Deezen Magazine, "the chunky cantilevered volumes are not only strong enough to withstand these cyclones but also prevent water from getting in during any accompanying floods." Aside from the weather-withstanding qualities of this home, it is evident that it is nicely integrated into its breathtaking landscape surroundings. The Stamp House by Charles Wright Architects is a marvel in utility and excellence in aesthetic design. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 54% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Cantilevered Construction:** There is an opportunity for disruptive innovation in developing stronger and more efficient cantilevered structures that can withstand extreme weather conditions. - **Weather-resistant Architecture:** Innovations in weather-resistant architecture can provide opportunities to create homes that can withstand cyclones and floods while maintaining aesthetics and utility. - **Integration of Architecture and Landscape:** The integration of architecture and landscape opens up possibilities for creating homes that blend seamlessly with their surroundings while offering functionality and visual appeal. ### Where This Applies - **Construction:** The construction industry can explore disruptive approaches to building stronger and weather-resistant homes, such as improved construction materials and techniques. - **Architecture:** Architects can leverage innovative design principles and technologies to create homes that withstand extreme weather conditions without compromising on aesthetics. - **Real Estate:** The real estate industry can capitalize on the demand for homes that are designed and built to withstand climate risks, offering customers a safe and attractive living environment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bushfire-Resistant Contemporary Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ironbark-house.md) - [Stilts-Reading Suspended Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hole-with-the-house-around.md) - [Elevated Flood Refuge Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lift-house.md) - [Elevated Timber-Clad Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/victory-bay-house.md) - [Climate-Responsive Prefab Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drop-pod.md) - [Off-Grid Oceanside Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/campos-studio.md) - [Mountaintop Cantilevered Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/levitae-house.md) - [Angular Black Cantilevered Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tallowwood-cabin.md) - [Open-Air Perforated Concrete Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anchor-house.md)
