Here is another “Pole House” builder in Hawaii. http://randletropicalhomes.com/ On one hand pole houses seems an ideal construction technique for tropical areas and resistant to earth quakes and its proponents claim cost less to build. Yet this type of construction is the expectation rather than the norm???
An interesting thought; I guess in a way sky scrapers could be thought of as the modern day pole house. They have a steel load bearing frame with non load bearing walls.
