BOH's new Visitor Center in Cameron Highlands will set a new tone for Malaysian architecture, we hope countrywide. It should represent the first building [of its kind utilizing entirely natural finishes and raw materials in a big way, and also as cladding and envelope elements in an unusual way. This project has taken no more than just over a year to complete for not too much money, mainly because of the architect's commitment to use only the most economic and affordable materials and low energy design and technology. The building however has been constructed to the highest possible standards to meet with the sometimes very harsh weather conditions of Cameron Highlands. Designed to be naturally ventilated, the BOH Visitor Center is a totally new retail and showroom concept for a visitor facility, having been planned to work linearly for circulation, promising a unique visual and audio experience for visitors who will be presented with soem quite awesome views of the vast tea estate in this beautiful highland location of Malaysia.
