24. The inspiration for the design is based on a traditional moon kite in flight.The main building takes the shape of the
sirih junjung, a traditional arrangement or a present made of betel leaves used during Malay weddings and
welcoming ceremonies. As in a traditional Malay house, the building is divided into three areas:
● The serambi (lobby and foyer)
● The rumah ibu (main house) as the auditorium
● The rumah dapur (kitchen) as the stage and rehearsal hall.

26. The interior was constructed using local resources such as Langkawi’s marble and high-quality tropical wood for the
doors crafted by hand to shape flowers and leaf motifs. Wood crafting was chosen to represent the identity of
Malays.
