This 80-year-old Malay house with a main reception area has a raised sleeping area to accommodate a whole family as well as a kitchen space with a link passage to the dressing room and bathroom. Simple in form yet interesting, because of the different rooms and space.

This simple 60-year-old Malay house was originally a fisherman’s house but has now been transformed into a colourful summer home. The front has an open balcony and a secluded open-air bathroom at the back along with a sun deck during the day. By night, you can soak in the bath gazing at the stars.

Blue Ginger has the feel of a simple antique beach cottage with white-washed internal walls. It carries its own charm with a private sun deck and outdoor bath tub. This 80 year-old-Malay house is centrally supported from a round post shaped from a tree trunk.

A 100-year-old Malay Nobleman’s house with intricate carvings made for natural ventilation. The windows are positioned at a lower level in line with the eye of guests sitting on the floor. This is the most dramatic house with dark wood contrasted by white furnishings.
