I want one

With design, intention and sourcing like this... I may reinvent my ideal vacation home from Mediterranean salvaged farm to Southeast Asian reinvented hut. (My ideal life someday is to work intensely 11 months a year as I love to do and to spend 1 month at a large, simple property with only family and close friends... laughing, cooking and only checking in on work an hour a day).

"Pitched as having over 800 uses, the Palmyra Palm (or Borassus) is recognized as one of the most important trees in Cambodia and India. Earlier this year, Indian born architect Bijoy Jain of Studio Mumbai illustrated the ecological potential of the palm when he designed and built the beautiful Palmyra House. Constructed entirely from locally sourced and sustainably harvested palmyra, the home is sited on a working coconut plantation in the East Indian coastal town of Alibaug."
