Budget constraint and the need to
maintain a corporate identity defined a simple minimalist approach to the
design of the interior. Partitions were carefully placed as specifically needed
with only appropriate lighting, necessary furniture and furnishings . A modern
corporate look is achieved through this process.
The project took a leap of faith in a fresh approach to residential architecture in Malaysia. It is unlike any typical mass-market housing design, neither does it attempt to appear flashy or glamorous. The timeless quality of vernacular design is faithfully explored and developed here in the design of this house. It is a conscious departure from the current ultra-modern trend, challenging to redefine vernacular architecture – crossing beyond the fashionable and historical pastiche. By choosing to be culturally + conceptually ambiguous, the architecture found its own design identity in vernacular vocabulary, reflecting a blend of cultures. The design remains true to the use of natural materials reflecting vernacular clarity.
