| DESIGN NAME: The Longhouse PRIMARY FUNCTION: Residential House INSPIRATION: Inspired by the traditional Malay Longhouse with the bedroom wing designed with rooms arranged in a linear fashion, opening out to the lawn and pool. Each cabana styled room shares common play-interaction area, with decks and verandas transforming the common corridor into more than just a passageway almost forcing the modern person to interact with each other, as they did in the old days. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Bold in form and fluid in function, the house is conceived from merging the tropical language with contemporary lines and structure. The design reinterprets the traditional Iban Longhouse, with family communal areas outside the bedrooms to foster family integration.With the inward-looking orientation of the house, its facade and presence from the main road is kept subtle and non-descriptive, giving only little hints of what lies beyond. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: A characteristic of the traditional Iban longhouses is the family communal spaces which is here applied for the bedroom wing, rooms arranged in linear fashion opening out to a common play area. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project construction took 18 months, completed in 2009. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Architecture, Building and Structure Design |
