ASTHETICS, RUINS & SPACE -KELLIE'S CASTLE-

Another over 100 years old building in Malaysia.This is the 1st time i been there.Well the place was abit quiet & hidden outside city area. As I walked around Kellie's Castle yet to be discover,i fall in love and attract by the beauty of this place,the castle locate at a very peaceful place,nature elements surroundings.Ohya,i still heard alot ppl said tat there is ghost there but i cant see any of dem,how sad ya.lolx

Because of Kellie(the owner of the building) fascination with the Hindu religion and Indian culture, He plan was for this house to share similar architecture to those of Madras, with all its bricks and tiles imported from India. He even employed a group of Indian labourers to build his dream house, to keep the Kellas House authentically Indian. According to differing accounts, it was either a gift for his wife or a home for his son.

THE BEAUTY OF THE BUILDING

Corridor of Kellie's Castle
The corridor beside the master room and his daughter room, u can feel the morish style architecture here and the column show a repetitive through the long corridor. The decoration and texture of the materials brings out the beauty of this place.
Contrast-The bulding is actually destroyed during world war 2.The facade of the building is mixed with two different type of material,the white one is built during the restoration.They is trying to brings back the soul of the building but from here u can still can see the different between the new and old architecture.Its makes the building unique.

RUINS.Loneliness- This reminds me of St Paul's Cathedral facade in Macau. The single wall with openings.This is the 1st bunglow of Kelie Smith,destroyed at world war 2.The small plants on the wall brings life to the old lonely wall.Nature life up everythings.

ABANDONED VOID-Actually here will be the lift shaft of the building(The 1st in Malaysia)but failed to import frm Portugal so it becomes a void.You can see the natural light import from the arch window.Repetitive form creates rhythm, one can feel the volume and distance of the long void.

Texture.Strength-This place is the guardhouse of the building.It built up brick by brick.The bricks is the finishes of the wall and it stand there for over 100 years.This show the true materials and workmanship of the building.The broken bricks tells all to us.

JUST FOR LAUGH -There is a joke from 1 of my frens,he asked me...chia wei~Mr smith is dam rich rite?..i said,of cox la,he got a estate and a castle wei !...he asked me agn...den y the building no car porch huh?...i answered...how i noe?mayb there is no car on tat time rite?...he start laughing....hahahha~nonono,u see the roof top,he got a helicopter pad there...==''
