Elevated 1st floor "Key West" type coastal construction HOW?

[wallyw 0]

We are in a coastal area (think Key West) where homes are built on pilings/columns.  

i.e. slab on grade for parking, columns to support elevated first floor 9' above slab, then 1 or 2 story structure. 

Can't figure out how to make that happen.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thank you,
