Text description provided by the architects. Located in the UNESCO World Heritage City of Malacca, Malaysia, Rumah Kechik is a conservation and adaptive reuse intervention within three 200-year-old shophouses as part of an extension to an existing hotel development named Baba House, Melaka. Through respectful insertion and subtraction strategies, the project seamlessly accommodates new programmatic requirements while paying homage to the structures' history.
