Most houses are built on steep slopes using a step-structure design. A typical room is around 120-150 square feet, with wooden walls and large glass windows. The balconies are often the most spacious part of the house, extending 5-7 feet to provide a panoramic terrace experience. The foundations are made of reinforced concrete to ensure stability on the slopes, while the upper structures are lightweight wood. Dimensionally, the village follows a linear pattern along the road, with houses spaced at intervals of 30-50 feet. The color schemes are usually bright—greens, blues, and yellows—contrasting beautifully with the dark green of the pine forests. -
