It is a mix of European aesthetic traditions, especially Georgian, with Chinese and Malay patterns, which may combine Chinese friezes, pintu pagar half-doors, imported glazed tile, Palladian fan lights, and Doric columns with fretwork and grilles more common in a Southeast Asian context. Facades in this style are noted for their vivid color schemes. ]]></note></mads>
