THE RETREAT
Sekeping Serendah is a private retreat attempting to tread lightly on the land. The very transparent and open sheds celebrate the beauty of the natural environment surrounding them. The 11 sheds are intentionally kept basic and free from lavishness, set within a 5 acres tropical rainforest. They float gently over the forest floor beside a bubbling brook.
The sheds are seen more as ‘glorified tents’ to provide basic shelter for its inhabitants as they commune with the land.
