All composed to address the existing problems and to satisfy the needs for the new design programme. 4 WHAT’S NEW FROM MALAYSIA Bay o u Wat e r V i l l a g e & The Loft Johor, Malaysia Bayou Water Village is a housing development consisting of bungalows, semi-detached and link houses. The most striking feature in this development is the existence of a drain reserve that is taken advantage of by making it into a water feature. The design of the houses are thus oriented towards the back of the houses to take the views of the stream. All the water facing units have their “lanai” perching over the water body. This gives the occupants of the houses a unique experience, akin to the old fishing villages. The Loft is a double storey courtyard house consisting of several pavilions surrounding a court. One of the pavilions is a standalone building with its own washroom and bed space, hence the name, Loft. Sited in a double gated precint, without any need for gates, the building is designed as pavillions arranged in a U - shaped configuration to enjoy the outdoors with privacy.The court, surrounded by the pavilions houses a swimming pool and water features. www.whatsnew.my | November 2010 5 H – House Sarawak, Malaysia The house is designed employing the tenets of tropical architecture while portraying modern aesthetics. The issues of privacy and the public face are important considerations in the design of this tropical house. It has a semi open lobby which enables the gradual transition into the living spaces from the hot glare of the sun into the cool dim interior. The tall volume of the entrance hall continues through to the poolside terrace. At the first floor a bridge connects and separates the two bedroom ‘wings’ giving the users the option of privacy or community. 6 WHAT’S NEW FROM MALAYSIA M a nda rin Orien tal Sanya R es ort Mandarin Oriental Sanya is a resort hotel complex comprising a series of separate low rise buildings informally laid out in a lush tropical garden setting linked by open air pathways.

In the laminating process, the weakest point of one piece of timber is bonded to the higher strength of adjoining pieces, thus forming a homogeneous structural component of great efficiency and strength. APPLICATIONS: Structural beams, girders columns and heavy trusses. It is often used where the structure of a building is left exposed as an architectural feature. ADVANTAGES: • Kiln dried prior to assembly – minimizing effects of checks, splits, and warpage. • Design freedom – can create structural features to an almost limitless variety of straight and curved configuration. • Free from natural defects – joined together by layers using smaller sections of timber eliminating natural defects. • Fire Performance – fire resistive construction Woodsfield Glulam Manufacturing Sdn.
