[SUB][/SUB]Hi."just tyre" kicking the notion of looking at a joglo style - but a larger footprint than usually available- or maybe two to make up the desired floor area.Has anyone gone down this path? And prepared to shed light on the +'s and -'s of this direction?If I went this way I would be looking at maybe two identical units- something not usually available as they are all uniquely different in some aspect.Thanks in advancemt

Why would you choose that roof style over the usual "Balinese" more normal roof? I've not heard that it gives any climatic or weather benefits? It looks funky but it's not really Bali is it? Don't worry I'm not gonna go all "culture police" on you...:icon_wink: just would like to know.

It depends on how big is the area that you are looking for, but putting 2 joglo into one only create to many pillars in the middle in my opinionI do however seen some big joglo's in Bali so it is not mission impossible :tongue:

Check in yogyakarta where most houses of that style originate tip... they're also known as 'knock-down houses' - because they can be knocked down, disassembled and reassembled on another plot of land.Traditionally they are made of teak (jati)... but teak prices 5.2 - 5.8 per cubic meter have been going through the roof (as it were)... so mahogany (mahoni) is a better deal at about 2.5 - 2.8 jt per cubic in Java - both are termite resistant. Careful though - jati puteh is not termite resistant
