文思古建于2010年赴马六甲承建宁山亭。宁山亭是一所座落在马六甲宁山园骨灰群祠范围内的祠庙，为三开间单殿式兼带拜亭的闽南建筑，纵向的空间序位为山门、花岗岩前埕、单开间拜亭、正殿、天井和厕所。宁山亭延续了马六甲多间福建寺庙的建筑格局，祠庙外围筑墙，并于祠庙中轴明间处辟开一道山门。山门后即是露天庙埕，可见立于基座上的拜亭和大殿。埕右侧则衔接宁山园的办公室，办公室有一进，前带亭子。

山门和拜亭的屋顶为悬山顶，从侧面可见穿斗式的屋顶栋架和桁木。大殿则是硬山顶，屋顶木结构则作移柱法栋架。山门、拜亭和大殿的屋顶皆是闽南风格的翘脊燕尾，屋面呈曲面，铺俯仰瓦。三座屋顶的中脊都施予精细的剪黏：山门有“凤凰朝牡丹”，拜亭饰狮子、牡丹和博古，大殿则有更热闹的八仙腾云。办公室的屋顶则为硬山顶，中脊止于两旁的水形规壁。

In 2010, Wensi Heritage constructed Ning Shan Ting in Melaka, a temple in the compound of the new Serene Park Columbarium. Ning Shan Ting is a Hokkien-style temple with a three-bayed hall and a prayer pavilion. The spaces, sequenced longitudinally from the eastward entrance, are the entrance gate, the granite front yard, the prayer pavilion, the main hall, air wells and finally the toilets. Like many other Hokkien temples in Melaka, the design of Ning Shan Ting continues a defensive language, where the temple is surrounded by a peripheral wall and is only accessible from its entrance gate. Entering from the gate, one arrives at the granite-laid yard and is welcomed by the temple itself. The administration office stood to the right of the yard.

The entrance gate and the prayer pavilion both have gable roofs where their roof structures are exposed at the sides. On the other hand, the main hall has a gable roof. All these roofs have the classical Hokkien-style curved ridges with ‘swallow tail’ ends. The roofs are laid with curved tiles. Thematic porcelain shard sculptural works decorate the central ridges: “phoenix and peony” on the entrance gate; lions, peony and curios on the prayer pavilion; and The Eight Immortals on the main hall. The office has a slightly different roof language, where the central roof ridges are terminated by gable ends instead of ‘swallow tails’.
