Stilt houses (also called pile dwellings or lake dwellings) are houses raised on stilts (or piles) over the surface of the soil or a body of water.
Stilt houses are built primarily as a protection against flooding; they also keep out vermin. The shady space under the house can be used for work or storage.
Stilt houses are being constructed above the level of the ground in those areas that are in the hilly areas and areas that are prone to flooding.
The stilt houses are usually built of bamboo, cement, stone and wood. Stilt houses are usually eligible for a lower insurance premium in India and also other countries.
They protect against floods, maximise views and allow homeowners to build on rocky, steep or unstable land.
They also keep out animals and vermin, provide ventilation under the house and minimise a house’s footprint.
The most common reason for building a stilt house is for protection from flooding or vermin. Stilt houses are considered as eco-friendly as they can be easily built without causing significant harm to the landscape.
