Location

Ayer Itam, Penang , Malaysia

A project conceived for a virgin forest site, the bold reddish-orange colourway injects a dashing contrast between the architecture & its forested surroundings. The house is comprised of 2 slim rectangular blocks linked by an external stair. Its compact footprint sits lightly on the ground and the upper level seemingly hovers among the forest of trees.

Given that its hillside valley location is “off-the-grid”, this tropical escape will rely on solar energy collection and captured spring water for use.
