PROPERTY REVIEW
Shout-out to my buddy Peter for showing me around this rare piece of architecture. For viewing arrangements, kindly contact him at +60 12-296 8701.
Located at the true-blue Damansara heights, allowing this house to have a balance of both tranquility without compromising convenience as it's a mere street away from Bangsar, Mont Kiara, Sri Hartamas and Kuala Lumpur. However, the existing infrastructure are still adapting the older construction methods. For eg, narrow local roads, electrical cables on poles, open drainage and etc. Plus it's also an individual title which will have it's pros and cons.
The collision of two different planes create a dynamic form between linear and angular elements in the house, balancing between natural elements and built ups. My favourite would be the emphasis of the indoor-outdoor relationship. By having a lot of transparent elements around the skin of the house, the interior spaces are just filled with amazing daylight. Ultimately, I really appreciate this piece of work as it feels more of a home instead of a showroom.
Something to take note would be the heavy maintenance that comes with these houses. As we have to deal with the heat and rain, there will be never ending wear and tears around the house. Also, it a debate to have between owning an individual title property versus a stratafied one=)
