Local
Architecture
for Malaysian-Style House Plan.
Design for Cost
effective Construction.
This
house sits on a hill
overlooking a beautiful secluded beach at Kuala Penyu,
about 500km
south of Sabah’s capital, Kota Kinabalu.
As the site is remote and far
away from built-up areas, the local infrastructure is limited.
Prefabricated
House
Design. As it had to be
designed on
a limited
budget and within a short time-frame, much of the work was done by
prefabrication at a factory and transported to the site for assembly.
The Prefabrication was done in the controlled environment of a factory,
and such cost-control
measures
resulted in a building of superb quality.
Each A-frame is
light enough
for 2 persons to lift and install. This
construction method also minimizes the time and effort required to
supervise workers at a remote site.
Chin Architect
designed the
Prefabricated Frame structure and
supervised its construction.The
C-Beams were constructed on
site, while the rest of the building
was prefabricated in the factory. So with two gangs of laborers working
concurrently on the project, much time was saved. When the site works
were finished, the prefabricated frames were delivered to the site and
assembled by the site workers.
The width of the
house was
limited to the length of the transporting
truck, i.e., 16 feet. In
addition, the height of the
building had to be limited to the height
of a bridge along the delivery route.
The final product
is another
example of sustainable and
cost-effective architecture.
