It's simply known as “The link house with narrow courtyard” but in terms of design, it scores many points for bringing in ample light and ventilation deep into the core of the building.

Located in Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Kuala Lumpur, the house is an intermediate lot measuring 24ft x 75ft (7.3m x 22.8m) that faces southeast, across a public park populated by mature trees.
