Extra Work - Arkitrek, Poring project

This is a quick conceptual render for a firm called Arkitrek in Sabah for a project in Poring. The project is all about local vernacular, local materials and buildability. This is a design I came up with for their Basha design. Its exaggerated roof is set to work as a wind scoop and guides rain into water tanks. It is made up of timber and bamboo, utilising materials that can be found around them. The roof is also 'patternised' to create that uniqueness, a focal feature for the Basha.

Hi Nigel, when are you coming back to Sabah? The Poring project is on site now. We're calling it Lupa Masa. You can read more about it on our blog.
