The magnificence of the traditional malay architecture started from a simple dwelling located in a pristine place known as a kampung. Each characteristic of the Malay traditional house has its own connection with nature, a certain description and philosophy that reflect the culture and heritage of the predominant Malay Muslim community.

The house and the village complement each other to create a sense of balance in life. It is from the humble village that life develops into a more complex structure economically, socially and physically.

Although the rapid development has somehow changed the existence of the village into a bustling city, there is still a sense of balance in various aspects of life which is necessary to ensure our co-existence with nature.
