Grass and Glass House in Bilene - it is the best summer house ever built in Bilene. Conceived by the Mahalambe family, a couple of an Agronomis, Mr. Norberto Mahalambe, and a Biologist, Ms. Alzira Mahalambe, who love to travel around the world, specialky atracted by mixture between nature and modern life. The Grass and Glass House in Bilene is the mixture of perfect beach enjoyment and architectural fantasy, whereby, the traditional breack and cement building technics were replaced by creative combination of traditional grass huts in Rural Mozambique and modern glass walls that feature neibourhoods in cities such as New York (Manhattan), Beijing, Hongkong, Santiago, to mention but a few. After the house was conceived by the Mahalambe's family, the sketch was handed to Mr. Dito Handela, a civil engeneer who accepted to transform a simple family desire in to construction engeneering project and subsequently seacked official approval for building it. The Project was then drawn and calculated by Paulino Sive, a licenced and experienced construction projector, and the calculations were then verified by Mr. Handela, who dedicated arou a year timespan followimg the construction process. The constraction was carried out by Mr. Eduard Thitsekedy, a South African Emigrant to Mozambique, who devoted his time to Grass houses constructions in Mozambique, also teaching local grass contractors. At least 5 of them took part in Grass and Glass House contruction as learners. In addition to the complexity of including glass in more than 80% of the walls, that looked complicated to Mr. Thitsekedi, the construction was also difficult because the whole of the first floor was inbebed in to the roof, from where the first floor windows emerge. This required continuous interaction between the projectors (Mahalambe's), the contractor (Mr. Thitsekedi) and the engeneer (Mr. Handela). Although the construction was somewhat difficult, the building is concluded and now, under use for 10 years. The Grass and Glass House in Bilene is located half way from Ferroviario Beach to Praia do Sol Beach, up heal view, at the meddle of Humula II fancing. The house is aknowledged as the best summer house and portraits a new trend of summer housing, where by, being in a house, the visitor enjoys the beach. It is perfectly relaxing. Many tourist claimb the Nhiuane heal to conteplate and visit the combination of unique Grass and Glass House and manificient Sao Martinho Lake view in Bilene. In our days, the popularity of the Grass and Glass House is overlaping with Bilene Popularity. The Authorities have already requested the Mahalambe family to donate the house to the municipality as to transform it in to Museum of Modern Summer Housing. Although with minimum chance, this request is under consideration by the Mahalambe family. Gwiteluane (talk) 18:57, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
