This document is a project proposal for analyzing Salinger's Residence, a building in Malaysia designed by Jimmy C.S. Lim. The proposal focuses on how the architect successfully implemented traditional Malaysian timber architecture into the modern, sustainable building.

A summary of the topic notes how Malaysian timber architecture was prominent for its context sensitivity and minimal environmental impact, but has been replaced by other materials with larger carbon footprints. Salinger's Residence successfully used timber aesthetically and to aid sustainability. The annotated bibliography provides sources on sustainable housing in Southeast Asia, traditional Malaysian house design, passive
