Shophouses are commonly seen in Southeast Asia, especially Penang, Malacca and Singapore. These shophouses or godowns are mostly two or three stories high with a shop on the ground floor for the store with a residence above the shop. This type of hybrid architecture characterises the historical centers of most towns and cities in the Southeast Asia region. It is often called shophouse architecture, godown architecture, straits architecture or peranakan architecture.
