This is your next unique holiday IG photos. A little knowledge for you, the entire property is an old heritage building constructed back in 1950s, where the total length is 130 feet. In the traditional heritage building (with no air conditioning those days) it is essential to have air well for better air circulation. And for this property, with such building length, it has 2 air wells. This Loft is part of the 2nd half of the property and assessible via the beautified Back Lane Park maintained by Penang City Council. Moreover, we maintain the original big tall steel door entrance into the building, where you have to reach through a small opening to unlock the latch with smart padlock behind the big tall steel door. We also specially converted the iconic air well into a cozy sleeping zone. The bare concrete floor surround the beds is at its original state, but layered with transparent lacquer for comfort purpose. The mozaic and terrazzo flooring in the bath room space are original too. Portion of the mozaic chipped off over the year and we refurbished by filling the gap with cement. 3 pieces of the terrazzo were broken and replaced but different in look and feel. All decorative displays in this Loft are part of our personal collections. 4 wooden doors are transferred from another Anglo Malay house in Jelutong which is currently a famous authentic Vietnamese restaurant. Others include portion of our festive collections and our children's childhood art pieces and companions. By sharing our trace of life, surrounded with heritage sentiments , we hope to bring to you a differentiated experience during your precious holiday moments.
