One architect, Max Strang, designs oceanfront homes for the wealthy with rising sea levels in mind.

One of Strang's recent creations is a Miami Beach mansion that sits on an elevated platform and stilts with the first floor 13 feet above sea level.

Strang told Architectural Digest in 2018 that the solution to rising waters in Miami is to build elevated homes — and that responsibility is on individual homeowners.

"The wealthy are already doing it," Strang told the publication. "One of my clients in Fort Lauderdale spent a million dollars just on dirt and a seawall to elevate his property."
