Urban Asian House : Living in Tropical Cities

As Asian mega-cities like Bangkok, Jakarta, and Manila continue to expand, their residential spaces must adapt to mounting pressures of limited land, tropical heat, and urban congestion. This book presents innovative architectural solutions from India, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka that demonstrate how thoughtful design can maximize functionality in constrained urban and suburban environments. Featuring row houses, detached homes, courtyard houses, family compounds, and cluster developments, it showcases practical approaches to creating livable spaces where small truly becomes beautiful.
