Probably more like a Queenslander (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queenslander_(architecture) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queenslander_(architecture) ) house on stilts or something similar. It also helps with cooling which I imagine would be beneficial on the Texas coast. It's remarkably low tech and effective, you can often find 100 year old ones only a meter or two above rivers that regularly flood.

Those are some ugly houses.

  I disagree. I'd prefer an ugly house over a destroyed house any day though. There's also nothing stopping you from applying the principal in whatever style you prefer.
