What happens when a 56-year-old terrace house is completely rebuilt from the ground up? In this episode, we take you inside Sama House, a remarkable terrace house renovation in Malaysia by YIA Design that transforms one of the country's most common home types into a peaceful modern tropical home centered around nature.

From the street, the home appears quiet and understated. But beyond its nostalgic façade lies a stunning sequence of spaces built around a hidden courtyard, lush indoor garden, and beautifully layered interiors that celebrate natural lighting, cross ventilation, and indoor-outdoor living.
