80x700x1,000 mm, which are fixed to the floor joists and roof beams.

Split bamboo boarding is wired to the timber frames and plastered with a 1:2:4 white cement-lime-sand mixture. Any defects can be corrected with a 1:10 water : common wood glue mixture, which forms when mixed with earth, a type of polyfilla. The interior and exterior walls are treated with a diluted mixture of this solution (1:20 glue : water), sprayed on to harden the wall finish. Finally a 1:4:8:8 wood glue : resin : lime: water paint should be applied. (Fig. 12)

The Staircase
This is a compressed staircase i.e. it rises 2.5 m in only 1.6 m on plan. This is achieved by using 2 compensating tread plans, efficiently reducing vertical circulation space to a minimum floor area.

The treads, 730x320x40 mm, are made of hardwood supported by two 40x400x1500 mm bearers running along the base of each balustrade.

Roof
The roof comprises two types of prefabricated truss made up of 20x160 mm timbers glued and nailed together. The gables are closed off with vertical lengths of 20 mm ø bamboo. As the structure must be lightweight, micro concrete roof tiles are recommended. (Fig. 13, Photo 04)

Finishes
In the use of the wattle and daub construction system it is possible to use any type of finish, even those which are applied to conventional concrete constructions.
