The verandah is a typical element found in this area where it act as greeting point.

rattan chair in Living area, the house is well ventilated with enough fenestration and fixed timber Louvered.

kitchen and preparation area with rack (para).The house divided into several main component: verandah, living, one bedroom (rumah ibu), guest room, kitchen and dining and a small washing area. Kedah house are different from others mainly on the composition and heigt as well as architecture, where houses were built one storey higher due to geographical condition and the culture itself.The lower ground normally will house 'reban ayam' bathroom and act as an open storage and preparation area.

Balik kampung memang besssst!

Rumah DrM tu, you perasan tak it is no longer in the "original" form, dah banyak renovations and improvements, especially on the grounds. The architect firm yang buat semua tu ... my keluarga terdekat.

Pekan Rabu ... I wonder if you are old enough to ever have experienced the Pekan rabu in its (several) old 'formats'. Dulu lecah & gelap!

sue said...

Queen,
memang best balik kampung, takde jerubu, semuanye fresh..sejuk mata

I think rumah tu bukan 100% original..sapa architect tu?

I sempat experience pekan rabu yg masa tu kedai makan gelap kat atas.kaLau lecah tu tak ingat, keck lagi kot masa tu :-)

jemputlah dtg rumah aku kat alor setar, pastu boleh pi kuala sala mengail ikan kat sawah, kelapa muda kat rumah aku tu tak perlu campur gula dah memang manis...kempunan ke? ke cik didi yg nakl? :-)
