Abstract
Currently environmental conditions at the local to international levels, are experiencing poor quality degradation. The development of construction materials that continue to be produced around the world, became one of the causes of environmental degradation. Current construction materials tend to be used throughout the world, requiring a lot of natural resources to be explored on a large scale. The balance of nature is disturbed due to the exploration of vast natural resources. This study aims to obtain alternative design and construction materials for housing in the tropics that can reduce the problem of environmental degradation. The solution in obtaining residential design in a sustainable tropical region uses the principles of green architectural concepts that unite the philosophy of local building tradition with little modern material
