The Plantation House is not your typical home and it doesn't look like one too. Many people have mistaken it for a factory, a warehouse, a hotel, a public building and even a restaurant. We are not troubled by this seemingly innocent deduction and never fail to respond to such comment with a smile. In fact, the smile is a sign of satisfaction as that was our original intent. So tight was the brief that we provided to the design architect that the name he christened the house with stuck. There is no need to rethink the choice of words. We liked it from the moment we heard it. It is a house in the plantations in the real sense of the word. The name given reflects the previous status of the land - it used to be a palm oil estate.
