Some houses are designed to be smart. Others have smart designs. An example of the second type of house won a Prize of Excellence from the American Club of Architects (建筑师).
On the shore of Sullivan's Island off the coast of South Carolina, the prize-winning beach house was built to replace one destroyed to pieces by Hurricane Hugo 10 years ago. In September 1989, Hugo struck South Carolina, killing 18 people and damaging or pulling down 36 000 homes in the state.
Before Hugo, many new houses built along the shore were poorly constructed, and the instructions for building were not strict, according to architect Ray Huff, who created the cleverly-designed beach house. All new houses are required to follow stricter instructions after the terrible experience in Hugo. The new houses on this land should be able to stand a terrible hurricane with the strongest wind 179 to 209 kilometers per hour.
