Tropical Style
Contemporary Dream Houses in Malaysia
Tropical Style presents thirty-five contemporary houses, apartments and resorts that evoke the essence of "Malaysian Style" - a combination of indigenous cultural forms, foreign influences, natural building materials, local craftsmanship and adaptations to a hot, sun-drenched climate. From vernacular houses set in lush tropical gardens to contemporary courtyard homes and idyllic beach resort villas, this book showcases the fascinating multicultural and multifaceted eclecticism that is Malaysia.
