Description
This restaurant, located on stilts in the Tonle Sap Lake area, demonstrates climate-adaptive architecture by combining elevated construction with a thatched roof made from locally sourced grasses, likely Lalang grass (Imperata cylindrica). The stilted design protects the structure from seasonal flooding, ensuring continued operation regardless of fluctuating water levels.
The use of grass for the roof enhances sustainability, providing natural insulation, reducing heat absorption, and minimizing the environmental footprint of the construction. Grass roofing materials are biodegradable and integrate seamlessly with the local environment.
