Rimbun Dahan is the home of architect Hijjas Kasturi and
Angela Hijjas, in the village of Kuang outside Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia. The 14 acre site was alienated from
the Crown in 1926 as Malay Reserve when it was cleared
and planted with coffee. Rubber planting was prohibited
for fear that small holders would compete with British
owned estates. Hijjas bought the land in 1972.  

The main house was completed in 1991, after staff

quarters in 1989. The basement gallery was built in
1995/6, the classic car gallery, dance studio and artists’
studios and apartments in 1997. The move and
restoration of the village house from the state of Perak
was finished in 1998.  

Although the main house is built of steel and concrete,

the form of the house relates to traditional Malay timber
architecture. When the security shutters at the ground
level are open the it is exactly like a Malay house on
stilts, except for its transparent contemporary character,
as kampong or village houses are completely closed at
night to keep spirits out. The pitched roof and deep
overhangs are another obvious similarity to traditional
architecture.

The avoidance of timber as a building material was to
make a statement about finding alternatives when
Malaysia’s forests are so threatened.

The main house and guest house are linked by a covered

loggia that overlooks the water garden and cascade to
one side. The 500 square meter gallery is underground
on the other side, beneath the entrance plaza. The
gallery is enclosed and dehumidified, and can be air
conditioned when in use. The rest of the house relies on
through ventilation and ceiling fans.

The steel structure extends beyond the roof line to create

an architectural form that refers to traditional buildings,
even though they do not create useable spaces. Chosen
materials were local wherever possible: traditional
finishes like Shanghai plaster and terrazzo were used for
structural concrete and floors, but the copper roof was an
innovation that attempted to provide permanent colour.
Unfortunately it has been affected by acid rain (a result of
climatic change with industrialization) that tends to turn it
black rather than the preferred green.

The house and underground gallery is the centre of the

residency programme for Australian and Malaysian artists
that is supported by Hijjas’ architectural practice, Hijjas
Kasturi Associates.
