This is an ID works on a brand new semi detached house in Bangi. The owner/client needs input on decorating his newly bought house. The composition of overall internal spaces is typical. Generally the house design is up to date and workmanship is good. My task is to beautify the house as to match the external modern look house.
View From Main Entrance
As we enter
the house, we will see formal living space on right hand side and informal living
/ family watching area on left hand side. A powder room is attached to informal
space. For these spaces, I tried to clearly define the separate function of
space as the combination of the two spaces was quit huge. I took serious
attempt by introducing decorative panels that is rarely acceptable by people especially
Malay owner. These two decorative panels act respectively as focal point and space
separator/partition between the spaces. The focal point intentionally created
simple as it is combined with full height curtain as to enhance the formalization
of the space.
The second
decorative panel right in front of the main door is functioning as screen wall
/ partition to avoid direct visibility from outside towards informal living /
family watching space and also acts in creating passage to powder room.

Dining Space
Dining space
is the simplest decorated space. The owner wants the space look spacious.
However the ambiance of the space still looks elegance with combination of wall
paper, curtain and lighting control. The beauty of space can still can be
enhanced by hanging art works or photographic elements on the plain wall.
Kitchen
Kitchen
Designing kitchen space and placing its components has
always been more complicated as it is related to the kitchen activities and management.
With limited space, we have to ensure the functionality and practicality of
utilising the minimum space and yet aesthetically acceptable. Proper planning
is important.
This L-shape kitchen space has been designed with linear
working sequence. As the client wanted to have an island for breakfast table,
this is where the challenge comes. The existing white glazing wall tiles
remained. Light grey 3G glass material has been chosen for cabinet finishing
and white textured solid surface for counter top (changed to black by client).
Master Bedroom
Master bedroom is quit huge. Works have been done on bed
backdrop, study table and wardrobe. Veneer wood finish used for bed backdrop
while study table and shelf was finished with wood textured laminating. The
compartment arrangement of master wardrobe also challenging as it has to suit
with client’s need. Several revisions has been made until the client agreed
with the design.
Bedroom 2 ( Girl's)
Bedroom 2 (Other from study table)
Bedroom 2 is for two daughters. They wanted a pink/purple
concept room. Wardrobe, study table and book shelves are subdivided and
personalised. All built-in cabinets are finished with white glazed laminate
with some pinked area. Purple tone wallpaper color was chosen for back drop
wall.
