Janda Baik, Malaysia – Choo Gim Wah Architect
Built Area: 372 sqm

Decks, opening glass walls, a light footprint and extensive cantilevering place this home in the midst of its forest environment.
Although as modern as tomorrow, this two and a half storey home encapsulates all that is good in traditional tropical designs with its lofty ceilings, vast areas of natural light and louvres set high to ensure constant airflow.
Entry to the home is via a steel and timber bridge connecting to the top floor. Bedrooms are on this level including the master with a 6.8 metre sliding glass wall. Descending a level takes you to the living areas and the large infinity deck that extends right into the treetops. The deck, at 10.5 x 6.8 metres creates the feeling of being in a treehouse.
