RE: Mother Roaster, A Coffee Shop That Look A Like Garage

in Architecture+Design2 years ago

Great to know that @aswita. I'm glad that old house is structurally suitable for a coffee shop operation. If not, their business permit wouldn't be approved in the first place, right? I'm curious though on what species of wood was used for that old staircase. Any idea? 😊

Sort:  

Isn't it obvious that it uses teak wood? maybe some of the wood has been replaced with meranti wood or similar, but for the big structure they use teak wood which is known for its durability. Is there another type of wood that is stronger?

Yes, teak wood is a suitable component for staircases, but can also be used for other spaces due to its durability and water-resistance. It's extremely popular in outdoor decks and terraces for swimming pools. Other alternatives for staircases could be oak, maple, and engineered types of wood which are becoming popular in architectural solutions nowadays. 😊
