In South-East Asia, the Malay architecture is among the popular subject of research
because of its historical importance within the region, apart from many others. To
some researchers, the Malay architecture is unique because of its intangible meaning
and historically rich design characters. It is difficult to be reproduced, and only limited
numbers of people are acknowledged as experts. With the introduction of technology
such as BIM, it is hypothesized that the gap can be minimized. The idea of this paper is
to outline the process of recreating cultural architectural design using a modern
process such as Building Information Modelling (BIM) platform in specific, from data
collection using Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) and digitalization process in Revit
software. This paper employs observation approach using data from laser scanner
collected from case study and content analysis technique. While normally most of the
cultural architecture is undocumented, the findings of this activity are aimed to provide
guideline to develop geometrical information for heritage-enthusiast in practicing their
undertakings. It is hoped that more historical and cultural architecture can be
recreated and appreciated for the use and inspiration of current construction industry
