Programme The architect designed this
house for his own family, with
a self contained studio on the
lower ground floor. Natural
materials, ventilation and
daylighting define the design,
creating high quality living
space while demonstrating to
clients the beauty and efficiency
of architecture that lies in
harmony with its surroundings.
In section the building hugs the
steeply sloping site with curved,
load-bearing brickwork walls
and a simple timber-frame roof
structure. Local hardwoods
are judiciously used and the
humble brickwork is exposed
- unlike that of almost 90% of
Malaysian buildings allowing
the workmen to take pride in
their craft.
