Cross bracing
- Increases stability and wind resistance

- "Roof pitch 30º- 40° to reduce effects of suction and uplift."
Rainwater gutter
- prevent rainwater from splashing on walls
- Household can use water for personal use
Bamboo construction
- "Used as supporting elements for walls and roofs
where strength is required, such as posts."
