List of work:

Iringan Hijau - Desa Pahlawan, Kuala Lumpur

Iringan Hijau comprises of a collection of 26 large duplex & triplex residences in KL. Developing ideas on urban tropical homes, creating tall atriums which link and interact with spaces at different levels whilst encouraging natural ventilation using the stack effect.

The Mansions Desa Parkcity, Kuala Lumpur

A central 160m facility deck provides recreational and social oppurtunities whilst forming part of the link between the commercial town centre and the parklands beyond.

Garden Manor - Sungai Buloh, Selangor

The typical Malaysian terrace house has a deep and narrow footprint, dictated by commercial pressures to maximize density. The limited external facades (front and back) result in a dim and poorly ventilated space at the centre of the house.This project challenges the convention with 2 primary moves. Firstly, a shallower (shorter) and wider (square) plan provides a brighter and more spacious aspect to each floor. Secondly, the insertion of open decks adjacent to each party wall creates an additional 3rd external faade for natural light and ventilation. The resultant faade presents each home as a detached unit.

Park Manor Sungai Buloh, Selangor

This is a private enclave comprising 41 villas within the exclusive Sierramas residential development. These elegant 3-storey family homes range from 5,600 to 7,000 sq. ft, with features that cater for multi-generations like a home-life as well as an annexe suite.
