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. ]]></termNote><termCreatedDate>2026-03-30 20:38:54</termCreatedDate><relation><relationType>BT</relationType><termId>31335611</termId><termName>Chinese architecture styles</termName><termType>PT</termType></relation><relation><relationType>RT</relationType><termId>31479289</termId><termName>shophouses</termName><termType>PT</termType></relation></term>  </Zthes>
