Architecture, Building and Structure Design The Longhouse Residential House by Aamer Architects Bold in form and fluid in function, the house is conceived from merging the tropical language with contemporary lines and structure. The design reinterprets the traditional Iban Longhouse, with family communal areas outside the bedrooms to foster family integration.With the inward-looking orientation of the house, its facade and presence from the main road is kept subtle and non-descriptive, giving only little hints of what lies beyond.
