Over The Frame Guesthouse
We cherish old buildings and strive to preserve them to keep their history alive. Our aim is to create a space where travelers can slow down, feel at home, and connect with people from all around the world.
The Frame Guesthouse in George Town, Penang, is a three-story heritage shophouse once used as a frame maker’s shop. It has been transformed into a guesthouse that preserves its original character while blending regional design. The restoration focused on minimal intervention, retaining concrete floors, rough textures, and traces of past fittings to highlight the building’s raw, timeless charm.
