House68, Selangor, Malaysia

The Design Collective Architects created a family home in Malaysia that embraces the tropical climate, allowing its residents to live in harmony with the environment. Essential Design Integrated developed the interior concept.

The rooms of this private residence have an impressive impact – something extraordinary is at play here. Instead of shutting out the variable climate, the facade opens up to the outdoor space. It may sound paradoxical, but it is a thoughtful solution by Petaling Jaya-based Design Collective Architects. Landscaped courtyards and water gardens fill the spaces between the architectural fragments. A double-skin facade with pine louvers that can be opened allows cool air to flow into the interior. The individual pavilions also serve another purpose – when the children move out, the pavilions can be sectionalized and used independently.

Tadeo Dining Table, Liz Wood Chair & Saddle Bar Stool

 

The spacious kitchen offers plenty of space for creativity. Whether hosting an extended family breakfast or an intimate dinner party, our Tadeo Dining Table comfortably accommodates everyone. With its sumptuous velvety finish, the solid wood top is as durable as it is elegant. Our Liz Wood Chairs, designed by Claudio Bellini, complete the harmonious ensemble. Delicate stitching accentuates the smooth upholstery.

Living Landscape Sofa

 
Thanks to the opening facade, the living area transitions fluidly into the lush garden. Exuding an imposing presence, the space is the ideal stage for our Living Landscape Sofa. The end and corner elements can rotate 90 degrees to engage with the outdoor environment. This modular sofa design caters to a family’s varied activities – from relaxing to reading to long movie nights, the soft and comfortable seat cushions remain welcoming. Our sculptural Isanka Armchairs add the finishing touch. Impeccably crafted and generously upholstered, their clean aesthetic blends harmoniously into the space.
