The Malay house is designed in a simple square form. Square form creates a practical space that is easy to organize household items. The houses are constructed using medium weight fiber material—timber. Timber is easy to cut and form house structure elements such as floor, roof trusses, and wall stud. The combination of form and space creates many design elements used by occupants to serve, organize, and sustain the Malay way of life in a traditional Malay house. The scope of research is focused on Melaka traditional house, the earlier Malay civilization in Peninsular Malaysia. The analysis focused on house components of the structure and spatial activities in the house. In conclusion, the elements’ integration of form and space in Malay traditional houses has revealed the existence of built-in furniture. The main function is to organize household items and to store utensils and equipment.

The furniture is essential to determine the lifestyle, environment and social activities. Studies on the origins of the Malays enable us to understand the background and social life of traditional Malays, which eventually led to their civilization. Data analyses are focused on the kitchen area in Negeri Sembilan traditional houses, since it is the most active area in the house. The definition of furniture through an interview with experts played an important role in defining furniture categories, types and usage. The significant activities in the kitchen are analysed to define the furniture function. In conclusion, Malay furniture which exists in the kitchen of traditional Negeri Sembilan houses is categorized into three as per its function—body-supporting unit, storage/utility and tool. The furniture is designed into two types—loose item and built-in with house structure. The furniture is simple, but the design is direct to the basic needs of user and kitchen function.
