Traditional Antique Wood House, Malaysia Stock Photography

A photograph showing the beautiful rustic style architecture of an old traditional ethnic Malay stilt house well designed for living in the tropics. Stilted houses are safe in flash floods common during the heavy downpours in monsoon period, and also prevents wild animals such as snakes to enter the house. Steep pointed roofs facilitate fast runoff of rain water in heavy rainy weather. Roomy outdoor patio or verandah provides a cool breezy area for family leisure time.
