Brunei Architecture in Sabah means buildings erected, owned, and used by Sabahan of Brunei Race*. Locations mostly in West region of Sabah along West Coastal line streching from Tip of Borneo to Sipitang. The concentration of pure Brunei Architecture can be found in Bongawan. A good example being show house for Brunei Architecture is the one built at Sabah State Museum in Kota Kinabalu. The original references still can be seen in viliges around Bongawan. Some of the houses still in use with a lot of modification to suit the trend and current materials available in market. But, sadly most of the old and original version are now left unoccupied and unrepaired.
