A lot of Japanese house like Sekisui house, Daiwa house company build their house this way. |

Japan lots of wooden house still okay whatI wondered if any of you know of any example of wooden house of modern design still being build in Malaysia? Is it still viable? And is it true that wooden house is more expensive to build than their concrete counterpart? |

QUOTE(JoeK @ Apr 4 2019, 08:53 AM) That is wrong. Wooden house is not a good heat insulator. During the day, it will become crazy hot until cannot tahan. its 50-50 here. That's why people prefer concrete house. Concrete house tend to be more cooler in a hot day because the heat takes longer to penetrate the house. Wooden house is cooler if its built like old malay houses, lifted high. This way, cool air can passthru from below floor and hot air exit thru roof. landed wooden hse is extremely hot in the evening. |

In Japan there will be a skyscrapper made entirely out of wood soon. Not sure how they tackle the fire safety issues but it's definitely possible as technology is getting more advanced.

LOLas for exotic or western technology roofing.. lucifah knows alot about them. for our climate use, just make sure you have enough overhang to avoid rainwater seeping into the house or make your wall excessively wett and promote moss growth |
