The design features of the traditional Malay house has the key for sustainable housing in encouraging the circulation of the air in and around the dwelling and hence achieving a comfort and well natural ventilated house which suit the warm and humid Malaysian climate. In assisting the validation of this research study, many references based on various authorized sources regarding the climatic and environmental design, and the traditional Malay house, as well as an in-depth interview with Wool Lok Kuang (Principal Architect) at Wooi Residence were carried out. This knowledge acqui 1g process was conducted to enhance the literature review and to present the issue based on the substantive findings and understanding gained through the significant design of the traditional Malay house and it's adaptation on the selected contemporary case study building in the sustainable design context. The traditional Malay house is fundamentally a timber post-and-lintel structure with wooden walls and thatch roof elevated above the ground supported by stilts. It has an open internal layout lavished with large windows, and ample fenestrations. And from its terrain and surrounding, the Malay builders observed various trees grow, having its particular structural properties and physical characteristi attributed in finding and shaping the suitable house-building. Further my paper will discuss about the adaptation of these design features of traditional Malay house in the selected contemporary case study building taken as an architectural representation of Malaysian modern house in the current era of advanced technology that is Ting Residence by Ar. Wooi Lok Kuang (Principal Architect at Wooi Architect). While inheriting the features of Malay vernacular architecture, modern Ting Residence overcomes its ground topographically challenge by the integration of building plan to its nature surroundings, slope and trees and successful elicited gasps of admiration of environmental comfort and poetic space. This research results indicate that Ting Residence has evolve from the Malay vernacular architecture into one of the Malaysian sustainable cultural heritage in the modern architecture context. Therefore the traditional Malay house should be kept as a legacy reference of sustainable architecture to the generation after generation on sustainable building. 60403] Nai
