This mansion is the home of Tunku Abdul Rahman (1903-1990) before he passed away. Bought by a new owner, the heritage residence is painstakingly restored to rediscover its beauty and quiet elegance. Tunku Abdul Rahman became the first Prime Minister of Malaysia in 1957 . The prince of Kedah who negotiated the country’s independence, is remembered as the country’s father, Bapa Malaysia. This house, built in 1929, was a fortuitous encounter during his preparation for retirement. He later bought this house and chose to spend his last years in Penang. He named this house ‘ takdir ’ , which means fate, after reflecting on the circumstances that made him bought this house. The road on which he lives was eventually renamed after him.

 

A young couple, owner of a 3,000SF 3-storey terrace house requested a warm and cozy contemporary English home. The main feature of the house is a sliding glass roof courtyard which provides a brightly lit yet sheltered space for a breakfast bar looking into the dry kitchen. The space is a beautiful extension of the living room providing a cheerful and bright fluid spatial link between the three major spaces—kitchen, dining and living.  A walk-in closet was also “ carved out ” from the balcony space providing an uncluttered bedroom space together with a spacious master shower area.
