House by the River

By a mangrove river in Tabuan Jaya Baru Kuching, a detached house custom-designed for three sons is to be built adjacent to their parent’s existing house. Intended for multi-generational living, the residence will feature three private contemporary identical blocks for each son and family. 

​

Each block overhangs to face the mangrove river, framing a soothing tropical view particularly for the bedroom. With a western-facing frontage, an array of ventilation blocks and screens shield the entire dwelling from excessive glare and heat of the afternoon sun.

 

Although essentially three blocks of separate entity, they are united and rooted as one grand family house, further linked to their parents’ adjacent residence.
