Traditional houses in Teochew are mostly built according to a handful of standard architecture models. These models were designed to adhere to the basic requirements of liveability, aesthetic beauty as well as the principles of fengshui.

Hia Sua Hou (下山虎), or "Mountain Descending Tiger”, is the simplest and most economical model of Teochew traditional housing.

 
The model draws its name from the posture of a crouching tiger with its two rooms as the bent hind legs and its kitchen/storage spaces as the outstretched front paws. 

 


Traditional Teochew-style houses are also distinguished by their beautiful gable ("the triangular upper part of a wall at the end of a ridged roof"), called Cu Gag Tao (厝角頭), literally "corner of the house") in Teochew, which take the shape of one of the five elements: gold 金, wood 木, water 水, fire 火 and earth 土.

This model kit has five variants featuring the gable designs based on these elements.

Glue is included 配有胶水
