Bubungan Dua Belas, Colonial building in Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei.
The Bubungan Dua Belas features twelve distinct roof peaks and combines British colonial architecture with traditional Malay construction methods.
Built in 1906, this structure served as the official residence for 25 British Residents and High Commissioners during Brunei's colonial period.
The building functions as an exhibition gallery that documents the diplomatic relationship between the Sultanate of Brunei and the United Kingdom.
Located 1.6 kilometers south of Pusat Bandar, the building stands at the foot of Bukit Subok on Jalan Residency.
The structure was constructed using wood from Sandakan and required a substantial loan of 20,000 pounds from the Federated Malay States.
