The ideal house that he wishes to live in is made by the origin characteristic of building material – timber, because he loves the aesthetic of the nature, the texture of the wood and the color as well. It is because he wants to get closer to the nature which he did not discover and experience before at his previous country. He hope he can enjoy the sunlight, the sounds of raining and looking at the flowing of the water when he stay in the house which will allow him to feel more peaceful.
Basically the design of the house he wants is contemporary style house which is follow his concept of painting primitive and the space of it is just nice to fit him. He wants his studio has a good sound insulation. It is because he does not want to get disturbing when he is drawing. Beside that, he still prefers to have second floor which is allow him to have a higher view over the surrounding. He hopes he has a reading space then he can enjoy reading there and do not need much doors or partition appear in his house. The balcony or garden is necessary to allow him has his own activity such as gardening. Other than that, the colors of his house have to be blended and harmony. As he said “Color and me is one”, so that he hopes his house is filled with colors.
He says he will find an architect as soon as possible to design him his ideal house then he can enjoy his life at Malaysia.
