this channel is so relatable to most malaysians as most of us are staying in 2 storey terrace houses. yes, i agree, developer should incorporate skylight in new terrace houses to bring in natural light, esp for intermediate units.
Usually if footprint of terrace is over 55' in lenght then a courtyard is usually introduced. But most terrace houses are shorter than this. And many dont like courtyard. Its a waste of space.
Singapore modern n nature leading company exist. Im malaysian but nope. If malaysian are the leading.. all houses should be functional…. Malaysia has a loooooooongggg wayyyyy to go
love the skylight and stairs area. glad the original stairs were kept because it’s such a character gem! a lot of thoughtful design details too. best regards to the family and their beautiful home.
Passed by this house countless times! Always been fascinated by the exterior. Glad to see some original features of the house are preserved, they did a great job.
I really love the incorporation of natural light. However, it's equally important to ensure that the light doesn't raise the temperature inside the house. I appreciate architects who take into account the tropical climate when designing houses because direct sunlight can be extremely hot in Malaysia.
This design has a lot of elements I have always loved, including the type of plants, the frangipani, furniture, tiles, especially the indoor "courtyard" with the skylight and louvres, which I still think every Msian house should hv because of our heat, as in the house many grew up in. I learned a lot.
Although some of the design wasn't for me especially the grasscrete (when it is new it is amazing but nightmare come to maintenance, think how you trim the grass and weeds removal) and how the aircon being "box" in there (it's not going to be maintenance friendly when it come to cleaning). For me, it is always about maintenance, how easy it can be maintain to retain as good as new. Having said that, I can tell the whole house design/taste fit perfectly for the family owner. More such old/mature double storey terrace house transformation videos will be good (more applicable to majority instead super rich)
Great job. Your show is well produced, great content,not too long or too short. Captures everything. Shows malaysias unique architecture, educates new young practitioners, inspires them and shows malaysia to outside world.
I love the transformation. Answering to your question, the challenges that we are facing especially intermediate terrace house is the natural lighting & airiness of the space.. developers please consider these points into your upcoming development 🫰
Nice video. In door - Out door living is indeed the future, even in the hot Malaysian weather. There's a lot of opportunity to grow the biophilic design in the Malaysian interior design.
I think this is beautiful... especially with the lightplay on the walls and the greenery 💚 🌟 I'm in West Africa and our challenges include high humidity to dusty dryness...trying to keep structural integrity on sand over clay with heavy water erosion during the rainy season.
They did not notice a few very very very important things. 1. the house is not in a guarded gated area. Malaysia is not the safest place to have a house with no window grills. 2. Look at their neighbor's fence, it was added with another level of sharp fences at time 10: 14, meaning, the area is not very safe and people have broken into the neighborhood before. 3. I applaud them for sharing their house location publically on social media. Yes, with the uniqueness of your house, you put yourself in a very vulnerable position, easily spotted on the LDP highway.
its guarded , but facing highway .. doubt that wall will help. viewed alot of highway facing due to the interesting price but decided not to as the humming is unbearable
Interesting and inspiring. Since you mentioned Feng Dhui there are a few multimillion-dollar Vedic Vastu homes in the Klang Valley in Malaysia. Vastu basically is the ancient Vedic design principles based on natural law where ecology is aligned to the cosmos and even our own human physiology. Its being revived ss Maharishi Vastu and there are office blocks as well as communities with vastu in the United States and its now happening here in Malaysia as well albeit on a smaller scale in the Klang Valley. Thank you for sharing. Its beautiful to enliven the design of space with natural intelligence.
I always wonder why most of these designs have no extra grills like at the main entrance, windows and so on as a protection from the thieves to pecah masok? Even it's a highly gated area, even I've seen some non gated area houses that featured in designseed don't not have grills. What's stopping these owners to pasang these grills? Is it the doors, sliding doors or windows are highly secured & hard to break in? Anyone care to explain? Tq 🙏🏽🙏🏽 Edit: actually this house is too pretty. Probably one of my most fav one featured by designseed. Like the design, touches of mix culture and it really feels like home although the architecture looks modern. 👌🏽👌🏽❤️
Love the design, something that I imagine to do for my house one day. New project nowadays is not good based on the quality, I live in intermediate double storey house and the challenge that I faced is our wall is really bad for noise insulation. We can hear our neighbours talking and even flushing their toilet! Hope you guys can make a video about how to solve this problem and what designs that suits for me. Thanks 😊

Could you do an episode on car porch? Car is such an important part of Malaysians life but in all archi vids people have done, it was almost never mentioned! What are the take of architects, designers, builders on challenges on car porch area?
Beautiful house. I'm just wondering if the environment is safe or not since I see that the windows don't have window grills for safety. Here, in Indonesia, most of the houses have windows grills because so many thieves except you live in safe environment and usually it's for rich people.
well done ... thanks for posting great contents again and again. I prefer open plan living and simplistic design .. could you do more of these type of house designs please ? thanks
I love all your designs but too sad am from the Philippines. I wish I can afford you as my archetect. I only have 80 sqm lot 4×20 . I love folding doors and a small pocket garden that gives good v8bes at home. Thank you for sharing your works of beautiful designs.
If you have been following the design of terrace houses since 70s, they have improved since. Also houses are becoming much smaller, land wise but BU has increased
Very interesting project. SImple transformation but big impact on the both internal and external spaces. I wonder how much roughly is the renovation cost.
My family home is 50 years old and its not in a good shape but some parts are. Is it possible to see some projects where you renovation/addition is done?
I'm used to watch 梦想改造家 in China, suddenly your channel appear, when I come to your channel today, is really mind blowing, there are so many talented designer in Malaysia too. I'm always want to have a good house renovation, but it very costly and the designer that I met at too traditional.... Thanks for the video.
I watch that channel too,so many inspiration to take but bare in mind also the makeover usually many stuff are of sponsor so the total amount of the reno may not align with expectations
@@dsleong8328 ya that is true, many sponsor, but not mistaken, they report the price base on all costing included sponsor items, how i wish i can participate this kind of show, get someone partially sponsor to renovate my house.
Developers in Malaysia should employ you guys.. Developers like Sime Darby and Gamuda are all bonkers employing architects whom are so cliche and uncreative
no grill? no CCTV and no alarm installed in malaysia? but yes, the concept of this transformation really bring a lot of character to the house.. respect
The location's not so great due to the noise and air pollution from the front. I would fully close up the front to block out the pollutants and open up the mid and back section for more light and fresh air. Would also get a proper garden in front and back to soften the harshness of all the concrete walls.

But most terrace houses are shorter than this.
And many dont like courtyard. Its a waste of space.
What a beautiful couple and such wonderful design. Malaysia seems to be on the leading edge of innovative design and architecture in the tropics.
I beg to differ. Singapore n thailand homes and designs are much better.
@@linustw dont forget Vietnam also.
take a look on indonesian architect too
Malaysia still way behind. Thai , Indo Vietnam more attractive in design. In Malaysia all need approval and labour cost is high
Singapore modern n nature leading company exist. Im malaysian but nope. If malaysian are the leading.. all houses should be functional…. Malaysia has a loooooooongggg wayyyyy to go
love the skylight and stairs area. glad the original stairs were kept because it’s such a character gem! a lot of thoughtful design details too. best regards to the family and their beautiful home.
Passed by this house countless times! Always been fascinated by the exterior. Glad to see some original features of the house are preserved, they did a great job.
I'm really enjoying watching small houses on how the Architect solve their requirement rather than big houses
I really love the incorporation of natural light. However, it's equally important to ensure that the light doesn't raise the temperature inside the house. I appreciate architects who take into account the tropical climate when designing houses because direct sunlight can be extremely hot in Malaysia.
strong wind with water may enter the side windows...it will be a nightmare if that happens
This design has a lot of elements I have always loved, including the type of plants, the frangipani, furniture, tiles, especially the indoor "courtyard" with the skylight and louvres, which I still think every Msian house should hv because of our heat, as in the house many grew up in.

What a lovely home! Congrats to the happy couple!
Amazing content as always. I love how this design seems more achievable to any homeowner than other examples.
The science n art in the transformation of this house is just amazing. 👍🏻
Amazing, always like to see a terrace house that can transform into a beautiful masterpiece.
Personalized design like this encourages looking at problems from new angles. So cool!! 😍😍
This is a very good design for the family. Wonderful problem solving and unbounded creativity.
A place for everything and everything in its place.
I love the courtyard and natural light. I think terrace houses in Malaysia will soon adopt this idea.
I don't think so, most developer won't spend much money on extra design. They only like square house
love how the designer plays with colours and shapes.
Really, brilliant remodeling house ever!
Nice video. In door - Out door living is indeed the future, even in the hot Malaysian weather. There's a lot of opportunity to grow the biophilic design in the Malaysian interior design.
Very livable space. Simplicity with enough function and style. Nice.
I think this is beautiful... especially with the lightplay on the walls and the greenery 💚 🌟 I'm in West Africa and our challenges include high humidity to dusty dryness...trying to keep structural integrity on sand over clay with heavy water erosion during the rainy season.
the ideas are always brilliant! 😮😮😮
another great project... i love swimming pool titles!
this channel is so relateable to asian people especially with the wet kitchen almost always present!
A beautiful modern design terrace house. Extraordinary
yumgong to have neighour like this that takes away your right for sunlight.
Beautiful transformation!❤❤❤
How much did it cost,this Transformation.🤭
the house is very beautiful

I haven't thought about that. Kinda valid point tbh
its guarded , but facing highway .. doubt that wall will help. viewed alot of highway facing due to the interesting price but decided not to as the humming is unbearable
I love watching your videos and see how people transform things up to become their dream place.

wow the master bedroom ,toilet design with swimming pool tiles .............great great design.........adress on high wall 👍👍👍
Beautifully designed..❤
The pool tile in the shower yes!! Will do! DS any designs in the USA?
Beautifully done, awesome design!
this is my neighbour’s house 😍 i’m always intrigued by the design!
The balcony is amazing
Seem like a hefty load borne by the cantilevered porch roof, due to the curved sound barrier structure. Nice fusion of form & function
Always get me wondering if the old terrace house foundations could support such loads.
Would the load be straining the connecting houses? 🤔
Love this design

Designer: "I'm glad you like my design, that'd be 800k. Nice doing business with you."
hope that one day I will be able to have a nice house like this
Truly beautiful!
how do you clean roof glass or glass awing as after certain years, mold and dust will grow and accumulate..
love the open concept and layout, but one thing for sure how to prevent algae from growing and etc ?
wonderful and cozy home

simply amazing
Funny, many new terrace houses in 2023 are still having the 1990s layout! Great video.
If you have been following the design of terrace houses since 70s, they have improved since. Also houses are becoming much smaller, land wise but BU has increased
Wow what a transformation
amazing house
Awesome content, as usual.
Oohhh.....this design an Bangsar's Ottiqa look pretty similar from certain angles where white is used in the interiors
awesome!
so many good ideas!
Would love to know the costing for such a renovation project. Would attract more similar owners to embark on such endeavour!
Very interesting project. SImple transformation but big impact on the both internal and external spaces. I wonder how much roughly is the renovation cost.

Amazing!
Amazing 😍😍😍😍.

SO BEAUTIFUL. DONT MIND TO SHARE AND PUBLISH THE COST. THOSE WHO INSPIRE SUCH DESIGN COULD PREPARE FOR BUDGETING
Talk to the designer lah..ID cost very too much
Cantik sangat😊
Developers in Malaysia should employ you guys.. Developers like Sime Darby and Gamuda are all bonkers employing architects whom are so cliche and uncreative
it is nice
Hmm....ss2? Beautiful house.
My challenge of my house , back lane so close to my back neighbour , no privacy and noise as well
Looks like nearby my area Damansara Jaya SS22? OR Tmn Megah?
no grill? no CCTV and no alarm installed in malaysia? but yes, the concept of this transformation really bring a lot of character to the house.. respect
setuju. layout design rumah teres zaman sekarang kena ubah sikit.
i like that no outdoor shoes are allowed inside.
can we see the plans for the project also included in the video?
Beautiful. Taik cicak masih ada tak kalau design cmni? Just wondering
The location's not so great due to the noise and air pollution from the front.
I would fully close up the front to block out the pollutants and open up the mid and back section for more light and fresh air.
Would also get a proper garden in front and back to soften the harshness of all the concrete walls.
what is the tree by the stairs? wont the roots be problematic in the future?
the workmanship at 8:19 is unbeatable to the '30s shanghai worker at all, unless the indentation is done at purpose, then i rest my case
