Description
Tigate Trees Indonesia's staff housing in Waibao Village, East Flores. Containers were chosen as main material to cut down construction time. Other material such as red brick for facade, straw for roof, and lontar wood for columns are sourced locally from around Waibao Village. Building facade was designed to be as open as possible to maximize air flow and reduce heat. Electricity isn't readily available in Waibao Village, so the inside of the building has to be cool enough even without air conditioning. Waibao Village is home to rich traditional culture of Flores people. Traditional roof design is used to pay homage to their culture.
