Abstract
The home should support life activities, normal daily functioning systems and family individuals by providing some degree of control over the physical environment, encouraging social, religious and environmental interaction. Housing design is now heavily influenced by other cultures and does not reflect the lifestyle of the community, especially the Malays. Many previous researchers are aware that multi-storey house architecture is not suitable for Malay culture. Housing recovery is often seen as a reflection of a person's personality, interests, lifestyle, values, and social standing. Studies have shown that traditional Malay house design (RTM) has design principles that solve many problems related to the environment, social and religious nature. Making it a superior design, evergreen with a superior Malay house design style should be used as a guide in the interior design of multi-storey housing. This study examines the concept of RTM, identifying mobile (flexible), open space design planning with the characteristics of various RTM through environmental, social and Islamic perspectives. The results reveal an understanding of the value and design requirements that will influence the interior space planning of Malays living in multi-storey housing and further suggest a framework of thought and design criteria for multi-storey housing space.
