CHIN ARCHITECT, www.ArchitectChin.com Bungalow in Kota Kinabalu,Sabah, Malaysia.

This Bungalow sits in a suburb in Kota Kinabalu,Sabah, Malaysia.
It is surrounded by houses and a basketball court. The challenge was to create a house that is opened to the outside and yet remained private for the clients.
We also want natural air to flow within the house, making it energy efficient. We use practically all local materials in its construction.
Exposed red bricks and tropical wood finishes gives this house a rustic and homey feeling.
We use generous roof overhangs to screen out the harsh sunlight and heavy tropical rain.
The large roof overhangs also help screens the occupants from neighbours' view.
A green garden is introduced into the main entrance hallway. Visitors are greeted by green courtyard when entering the house.
Semi- Private space like the Living and Dining area are not visible from the main entrance; it is screened off using carefully thought out placements of walls and partitions.
The Living room looks into a large outdoor garden and a large Koi pond. One is also serenated by the soothing sound of the fountain from the Koi pond.
A guestroom on the ground floor has a ensuite that opens into an open-air courtyard.

The house is divided into different zones: Public Zone for the car porch and entrance hallway;
Semi-Private Zone for the living and dining area; Service Zone for the kitchen, laundry, store and servants' quarter; and Private Zone for the bedrooms.
