Situated in Tanarimba near Janda Baik, an environmentally sustainable residential development at the foothills of the main range in peninsular Malaysia, this timber and stone building is used as a venue for conferences, cultural activities, and private receptions. Constructed by local craftsmen, the building is made entirely out of recycled timber (Honduran pine) and stone collected during earthworks, and boasts a 36-foot ceiling supported by pine trunks that are used as columns. Other materials include reinforced concrete footing for the foundation, glass, and local clay tiles for roofing.
