The architectural language of Rumah Sawah is further accentuated by its choice of materials. Burnt wood, crafted using the esteemed shou sugi ban technique from Japan, lends a striking facade to the exteriors. Therefore, providing a warm feel and strong character. In addition, local sandstone claddings and exposed concrete walls and floors will give the houses a sense of grounded elegance.
