Usually, they could make a ten foot solid base of concrete with an outer layer of brick. Inside, there would be no space; it's solid concrete. Stairs are built up to above it and the building continues as if there was no base. Anyone who has been to very wet areas sees structures sitting atop pilings. If piles are well set and designed to be adequate to supporting the building, they'll withstand rising water with little effort. A bit of a climb up a stair will be required to access the building, but if flooding is a real threat, or is regular, the walk is a small price to pay to keep the structure from being inundated and/or washed away.
