Description

Have you been affected by recent flooding?


A new report by LV= GI and independent think-tank Localis, has revealed that as many as 25,550 new homes are set to be built in areas that are already urbanised or where more than 1% of homes are already at risk of flooding.


LV= together with Interior Designer Gaby Blackman and Flooding Expert Dr Jess Neumann have designed a 'Flood Proof Home' of the Future.


Dr Neumann tells me, "The homes of the future could well require features such as underground drainage networks, built-in flood defences and even amphibious foundations..."


Let's find out about buoyant foundations, a U-shaped garage roof and features to protect our homes of the future.
