Project Description

Kelantan Peranakan Cina Heritage House

A team that consists of 5 members was travel to Pasir Mas, Kelantan for 2 weeks to do the measure drawings. Our house named as “Rumah Koh Boon Peng”. The house was built since 19th century by owner’s forefather. Owner’s forefather was from China. The house design was influenced by local context and his forefather Chinese background. The house façade looks similar with “rumah kampong Melayu” but the layout and ornament of the house are based on Chinese belief to design. Cross culture of “Peranakan Cina Kelantan” produced a unique identity and lifestyle.
