Rudinara Salinger Residence

Built in 6 and a half years (completed in 1993) by a Master Builder from Kelantan, this residence won the prestigous Aga Khan Award in 1998 under residence category. Built mostly on chengal and resah wood; where the former is one of the toughest wood in the world. Believe it or not this house was built without a single nail was used and no proper measuring tape!

I was honoured to be given an opportunity to record the images of this magnificent house.

According to the owner of the residence, Dato' Dr. Haji Rudi Salinger, the late Master Builder himself Encik Ibrahim bin Adam has only one eye and one arm.

No he isn't going to sell it. How could he? He used his own hands to build it. I know his personally and doesn't seem likely anyone can take it away from him.

do not forget to give credit to the architect, Jimmy CS Lim!

WOW. I want this kind of house. What an art in its living form. I heard it is now to be sold for 3millions? Is this true? How I wish I have THAT kind of money!

What we can see from this success story is that He is a man of great passion and a of course there must be a great woman behind.

is it really environmentally friendly? i mean, looking at the 'throughput' (the expensive cengal timber used), you'd have wiped out a good stand of cengal trees to achieve it. and the use of other expensive tiling. it is great architecture, no doubt, but i wouldnt promote it as an icon of environmental sustainability.
