The Old Shop at Myrtleville

The red building does the heavy lifting in this one. Squat, breeze-block, with a corrugated shutter rusting at its own pace and a smear of white graffiti for company. It used to be a shop. Hard to picture now, with the shutter pulled down for good and the paint going chalky, but at some point I remember there were HB ice cream stickers on the wall. This was Myrtleville in October 2016, on one of those flat-light afternoons. The beach and sea are just down the hill and the village feels like […]

OMG I was just looking for reference images for some Vernacular Tropical Archtecture...What a surprise, it's often a European's interpretation of traditional designs or a fucking LLM generated image. That is so frustrating!

I did manage to find some reference images that seem to be what I want to use.

They even included reasons for why the design is the way it is. In the end, I think I will try to emulate a Malay Kampong House

I want to maintain that vibe (despite the occasional ruin with complex machinery).

I got the inspiration photo and lead from this site:

Thank goodness I was persistent!
