IT ALL BEGAN with the owner’s love for the nature.
When his residential townhouse in Seri Kembangan
presented the opportunity to maximise the outdoor
space, he wasted no time to turn it into a beautifull
abode that brings the outside in.” The original spaces
of this house offered us that encourages interaction
with nature, “ says T.O Hew, the architect that the
owner commissioned to do up his home.” To start
off, we have transformed the existing garden into a
comfortable outdoor space which turned out to be a
wonderfull focal point for the house.
To achieve this, Hew used a low wall bench and a
feature wall made from exposed clay brick, wrapping
them around the boundaries of the house’s compound
in a continious manner. This demarcates serves as
backdrop for the entrance. For the other half of the
garden, the architect has put in a timber floor deck
that connects the garden to the indoor spaces. Here ,
a fishpond and green landscapping with a franginapi
tree in the centre become the essence of the garden
area.
Inside, the architecht has kept it clean and refined,
while maintaining a lived-in sense of home. ”The
use of metarials, colours and even lighting is very
crucial,”Hew explains.
