Cambodian Houses


dont you all curious to know what will be differences of houses around the world? i do ...

for example, now i'm living at cambodia- so there's bit story I can tell u about it.
as u can see here, their houses are mostly build up, rather than sides- ...
for money & land issue-

i used to be told that after Khmer Rouge, people are able to get free land, since there's no government yet- so they are free to commit whatever land, where they stand-

houses as build goin up, so there'll be more steps for u to climb- sometimes it's unbelievable how they build their stairs. Some people like it wide & huge & grand stair, some like it small & narrow- makes u big fat people hard to climb up.

floor divides to mezaninne and steps up. ussualy ceiling height on the ground floor can reach to 4m, while the mezannine only left to 2.20m only.
this system goes to the next level - each floor,, they got mezaninne!

glasses always decorate their houses- some house they do with mirror, too...




instead of houses, as I mentioned .. there're still left some traditional one's .. wooden house!
of course this one is sort of the left over from the century & also from financial problem.
wooden house ussualy build around 3,00m up from ground level.
under the house- they used for keeping car, nowadays but bfore they kept their pets (cows, excuse me!) under it.


nowadays, they also build it to be part of the house.


it's kinda hard to accept different taste of each country- like house this one ... my friend even said this house is like a doll house!

you'll find many steps before you can get into the house.
see patch tiles outside, to attract or dis-attrack?
fiuhhh... not easy, u know?!

well, there'll be more houses coming in.
I'm sure there'll be more variety & progress into it - since lots of foreigner & local expats back in town. Sure, they'll put their ideas more.
nothing bad about it- this is cambodia houses normally.
