ASTEEL V-dek for Longhouse at Kampung Melikin, Balai Ringin

The longhouse in Kampung Melikin, Balai Ringin, demonstrates how modern building solutions can support the continuity of traditional Dayak architecture. Featuring ASTEEL Group Berhad's V-dek metal roofing and lightweight steel truss systems, the project benefits from durable, low-maintenance materials designed for Borneo's tropical climate. These products provide long-term structural reliability while preserving the longhouse's distinctive communal layout and cultural identity. By combining trusted steel solutions with traditional construction knowledge, the project shows how contemporary materials can enhance the resilience, functionality, and longevity of vernacular architecture for future generations.
