In this week’s episode, we explore a renovated single-storey semi-detached house in Subang Jaya, originally built with a 204 sqm floor area and extended to 279 sqm during the 2022 renovation. This home reflects an architectural approach focused on introversion, minimalism, and introspective living.
The home redefines private and public spaces, using a linear garden wall and semi-outdoor areas to create privacy and tranquillity. An inner courtyard facilitates natural ventilation and light while maintaining seclusion. The minimal architectural style promotes simplicity and authenticity.

Natural materials play a key role in the design. Polished concrete covers the entire floor, extending into the inner garden. Whitewashed walls provide a blank canvas for a curated art collection, while pops of yellow highlight areas of interest, offering subtle colour without overwhelming the space.

The exterior maintains a modest appearance, with a new metal roof adding a contemporary touch. Two entrances allow for private and guest access. The kitchen, positioned within the inner garden, connects seamlessly with semi-outdoor spaces, promoting both privacy and social interaction.

Two dining areas – indoor and outdoor – offer flexibility for different occasions.

The garden, inspired by Zen principles, is integrated into the living environment, providing a peaceful, private space.

The master bedroom is positioned near the central living area, connected to the semi-outdoor spaces with large glass doors. The master bathroom, integrated into the walled garden, uses clean lines and natural materials, with a custom swimming pool standing shower adding to the minimalist design.

The guest room is versatile, serving as a study or playroom with natural light and airflow. The home encourages a calm, contemplative lifestyle, fostering a deeper connection with the environment.

The house represents a successful experiment in living differently, reflecting a shift in lifestyle towards simplicity, introspection, and a deeper connection to the surrounding environment.

Special thanks to the homeowners for letting us show you their home.
