ABOUT
FRAME THE RIGHT MOMENT
The Frame Guesthouse in George Town, Penang, is a three-story heritage shophouse once used as a frame maker’s shop. It has been transformed into a guesthouse that preserves its original character while blending regional design. The restoration focused on minimal intervention, retaining concrete floors, rough textures, and traces of past fittings to highlight the building’s raw, timeless charm.
