Floods leads to loss of lives as well as infrastructure which affects the economy of the area for a longer duration, hence to cater the current scenario, an attempt to design a viable structure is the need of future. The aim of this paper is to study new concept of the amphibious house in lowland area as a flood mitigation measure. This report will explore and documents the various ways of protecting and creating a sustainable living environment for seaside and riverside residents. The solution will also include waterproof material and protection of vital utilities, design of buoyant foundation, vertical guidance pole attached to the foundation, which provides resistance from lateral force caused by wind and water. Amphibious Architecture adapts to dry and wet conditions without causing any damage during or after flood. The development of an amphibious community is a long time strategy that will minimize the potential risk of flooding along riverside. The proposal for this dissertation will provide sustainable structure for the people of India to create amphibious structures protected from floods.
