SEM 3 PROJECT 1 : Villa Maya

In this project, we need to design a tropical holiday villa for the Malaysian-German film actress, host and singer Maya Karin of Pantai Cermin in Port Dickson. She actively participates in various environmental protection and animal protection work, so she is passionate about the environment. She participated in the awareness of overuse and waste of plastic bags and became an ambassador and spokesperson for the recycling program of the Geological Institute of Malaysia. She was also appointed as the ambassador of the river of life. Her unremitting efforts to promote the protection and protection of the environment made her the choice for this project.
