Ir Pang, our engineer, captured this wonderful image of the approach to the new BOH Visitor Centre in Cameron Highlands, Malaysia. This project was conceived to provide some 12 000 sqft of new retail and visitor facilities for the tea estate, and is now open to visitors. Building is constructed using structural steel, the envelope kept transparent, and no felling of trees, and all materials are used in the best interest of the conserving the site. Fallen trees [from storms] are re-cycled, cut into logs and made into facade. What is even more incredible, the project took just over a year to execute, and costs under USD 500,000.
