The main block which is the owner house.BAMBOO HOUSE INDONESIAN DESIGN.
Last Monday I visited this unique house located at Ulu Langat District. It is situated on a hill slope, deep inside a Malay village. What make this design unique is the use of bamboo as the main construction materials. Not an ordinary bamboo but an imported one from Indonesia. The owner went to Indonesia to do a research on bamboo house design. He managed to convince few craftsmen to come to Malaysia just to do this project for him.
Will the bamboo last? Well according to him he had seen some of these bamboo houses still stand in Bogor, Indonesia after a century. Long enough to last the lease period in Malaysia.
The project is not fully completed yet. Few months from now it is going to be the only kind in this country.

Hopefully the bamboo he used was treated in some way to make it unattractive to beetles.

Sam, indeed the bamboo was treated and as explained to me it was the most important process in preparing the material. It received a coat of varnish as final finish which make it shiny. http://www.flickr.com/photo/mdshah/3831945187/
