This project, which we worked on together with ATSA Architects Sdn. Bhd., is about to be handed over to purchasers. The project consists of 65 2 storey terrace houses and 4 units of 2 storey bungalows. It is a continuation of BP 2-3-1 where 106 units of various type of housing were completed. While the previous project used Monier Perspective Terracotta orange (for Bungalows) and Monier Elabana Sunkiss Orange (for Terrace) concrete roofing tiles, the color this time round is Titanium Black and Ebony.

This is not my project but the building belongs to a fellow architect and friend. I enjoyed researching the history of the building and getting the article published in Architecture Malaysia.

Professor Robert Powell produced a book documenting the origins of the Malayan Shophouse and its evolution. Our project for Chris Ong was featured inside.

DEM Penang's first China project, in the boonies near Shanghai. When I was working in Hong Kong for John Tang & Associates, I never once went to China even though I was working on a few projects there. This project allowed me to see China when development was on the verge of booming. And before the 1997 financial crisis.

Those were the days........
