Melaka Malay House

The Melaka Malay House has one very distinctive and eye-catching feature....... and it is the STAIRS! The stairs itself is very different from the other houses as it is built with some sort of marble like material. The beautiful concrete and multicolorated doorsteps indicate traces of chinese and colonial influences. The main structures are usually build of wood mainly of Cengal , Meranti or Damar laut. The roofing (attap) meterial are either from Rumbia or Nipah palm.
