Tropical Style

With over 350 full-colour photographs taken in more than 30 contemporary homes, Tropical Styles evokes the essence of 'Malaysian Style'. Idyllic beach resort villas, classic courtyards, and beautiful townhouses set in lush tropical gardens demonstrate how indigenous cultural forms and natural materials blend with foreign influences to create a look distinct to tropical Asia. The author shows how local craftsmen adapt contemporary designs to a hot, humid climate.
