Browse 13 kitchen looks for the back of a terrace house, where the kitchen meets the dining table and the wet kitchen sits behind, then see what each one involves.
📍 We serve KL, Selangor & Putrajaya.
In most Malaysian terrace houses the kitchen sits at the back of a long, narrow ground floor, between two solid party walls, with light and air coming only from the back yard. That shapes the design: the dry kitchen faces the dining table, the wet kitchen sits behind it or in a rear extension, the cooker hood ducts out of the back wall, and in a double-storey house there is often a bathroom right above. These 13 concept designs show dry kitchens, dry-wet splits and storage ideas for that plan. Wet kitchen looks have their own gallery, linked below.
Each design below is an illustrative concept render of a kitchen at the back of a terrace house. Filter them by style, by dry-wet split or by storage. Tap any image to enlarge it. Every card links to the ClickBina guide that covers the work behind that look.

A terrace kitchen is shaped by the house around it. The two long side walls are party walls with no windows, so daylight and air come from the back. The ground floor usually runs in one line from the living room to the dining table to the kitchen, so the dry kitchen is on show. The wet kitchen, where heavy cooking happens, sits behind it near the back door or in a rear extension.
| Layout | Fits | Light and air | Watch for |
|---|---|---|---|
| L-shape facing the table | Open ground floors | From the back, through the wet kitchen | Walkway to the back door |
| One run on the party wall | Narrow terraces | Weakest in the middle | Needs good ceiling lighting |
| Peninsula | Older houses with a half-wall | Good, the room stays open | Power and plumbing to the peninsula |
| Dry kitchen with a glass split | Heavy cooking households | Borrowed light through glass | Door type and track access |
| Kitchen in a rear extension | Houses that extended to the back | Roof light or louvres | Approval and drain rules |
| You mostly | Usually works | Hand-off |
|---|---|---|
| Cook light meals, eat at home | An open dry kitchen with a peninsula or bar | Dry kitchen only |
| Cook daily with a wok | A dry kitchen in front and a closed wet kitchen behind | Wet kitchen design gallery |
| Bake and store bulk | A tall pantry bank and an appliance tower | Pantry cabinet guide |
| Need more room | A rear extension for the wet kitchen | Rear kitchen extension guide |
This page covers the dry kitchen and the split between dry and wet. For the wet kitchen itself, see the wet kitchen design gallery. If you plan to build it out into the back yard, the rear kitchen extension guide for terrace houses covers the drain, setback and approval rules, and the dry and wet kitchen cost guide breaks down the budget. For the rest of the ground floor, see the terrace house interior design gallery.
ClickBina's kitchen design gallery quotes the kitchen renovation cost guide for a medium terrace or standard condo kitchen at RM20,000 – RM35,000. A basic glass partition to split dry from wet is RM8,000 – RM15,000 in the dry and wet kitchen cost guide.
For a lighter refresh, the cabinet door replacement guide prices a respray or reface of the cabinet doors only at RM800 – RM2,500 on a typical rental-unit refit, and the hood and hob cost guide adds RM200 – RM600 for ducting where a kitchen has never had a hood. These are indicative Klang Valley figures; your kitchen is quoted to its own size, finishes and plumbing.
