British Expat Designed Desa ParkCity Landscape! - Retire to Malaysia!

[@Ya5ker]

That's my Dad, feel proud running around that lake as his daughter ❤️

[@elimlinrr6898]

Wow ! Since your dad has been here in Malaysia for 31 years, you must have spent your entire life here ?

[@Ya5ker]

@elimlinrr6898 Yeah I was born in Malaysia, lived there until I was 18 then went to the UK for university

That’s great! 😀

Proud 👏 daughter 😊

[@tg988]

Not many Malaysians know who Julien was. Now more Malaysians will recognise him as the landscape architect for beautiful landscape of Desa Park City. It must be Julien’s pride and he lives in it too. Great vlog documentary on Desa Park City and its historical development.

[@jimw2566]

Thanks, Taylor! Just as soon as MM2H returns, I plan to move permanently to Malaysia... Desa ParkCity is where I have been planning on living... Specifically, Park Place, when it's completed. Great cycling, great walking, geat shopping, and dogs!

[@andrewtaylor4558]

Sounds great! 😊

[@Mark-in-Texas]

Desa ParkCity is beautiful and the before and after pictures are amazing. It's wonderful that Julian took time be interviewed on your KZbin channel.

[@vivaliliy1562]

Property prices in Desa Park continue to climb. Such a successful township.

[@thomas5231]

Fascinating. I am 65 and hoping to retire from LAPD next year. For years I have thought about retiring in Malaysia. I also have a master's degree in Landscape Architecture. So this episode really caught my attention!! How did a guy with a master's in landscape architecture end up working for the police? It's a long story.

[@andrewtaylor4558]

Interesting! 🤨

[@warrenlim2175]

My wife and i are in the process of buying a condo in North Kiara which is near Desa Park. It is beautiful and one of the best parts of KL. I'm still in the US working but our apartment will be our second/retirement home once we are ready in a few years. Hope to see you in KL one day, Andrew!

[@andrewtaylor4558]

Sounds great!

[@vwchan841]

Ok, this may be one of your best videos! Very well edited/produced and interesting to hear from someone who literally built this area. Keep it up!!!!

[@AtmosJourney]

Absolutely 👍

[@andrewtaylor4558]

Wow, thanks! 🙏

[@AndrewMage]

There are 2 lakes in DPC: man-made and natural. Decades ago the natural was accessible, and eventually closed off after the man-made lake was completed adjacent to The Waterfront (retail shops and offices). By end of this year the natural lake will be reopened together with the spanking new Park Place luxury condominium

[@PYC1198]

Wow, It must be so thrilling and satisfying to be able to live in a place of your dream especially when you are the one who designed it! Well done and thank you Andrew for introducing DPC. Another great effort. All the best. ❤

[@CKology]

Everyone wants to live in Desa ParkCity ! Such an Oasis

[@MadeNCda]

Thank you Taylor, Julien - this was thoroughly enjoyable to watch.

[@luissamuel4513]

Really enjoyed this clip..as a Malaysian this was an eye opener..cant wait for yr next clip😊

[@andrewtaylor4558]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@maxsoon1097]

Nice meeting with Mr. Julian. Glad to be intro to DPC. Interesting to know how these properties were designed and how it has been created. The finished work really great. Btw, I like the contrast between colour of Andy and Julian's clothes. And the green plants. Awesome 👍

[@micheleandreacomaschi6250]

Oh my gosh but we live in the same compound! We are proud resident of DPC: it is a great place to live and we are happy to know the history of this development which we think is really unique! Thanks fo the interview!

[@andrewtaylor4558]

So cool! 🤗

[@AtmosJourney]

Definitely KL is a nice city to retire in South East Asia for those who seeks city life surrounded by parks. There are other places to explore too in Malaysia such as beachfronts, rural, and most importantly it’s a relatively safe place with affordable amenities and healthcare 😊

[@catherineburke-shahin4979]

Your interviews and videos of what Malaysia looks like and what life is like for people who have chosen to live there are so helpful for someone considering Malaysia in the future

[@sueteh4759]

You are shown the rich people staying areas

[@vincentchin88]

Eye opening historical episode. I used to live in Valencia for more than a decade and now i know who did our landscaping!

[@victoriamorrow8187]

Another great video. I had never wanted to visit Malaysia until I watched some of your videos. You are a natural commentator and a delight to watch. Thanks for your continued information about your life in this beautiful place.

[@andrewtaylor4558]

Wow, thank you ☺️

[@rv2lyon8]

A nice place I didn't know in KL. Thanks a lot Taylor for helping us discover suburban areas.

[@EGO0808]

Masterpiece and such a joy to hear Julian explain the scaping of Desapark City. We visited it a few times and looked at staying there too, but for us the attraction of KLCC just made us decide to go downtown. But it is a gorgeous development and now we know who to thank for that😊

[@andrewtaylor4558]

Thank you so much Eric!

[@hpham2101]

Fantastic video! It was very interesting to hear the history and design elements. Desa Park City and Julien's home look beautiful ❤

[@andrewtaylor4558]

Glad you enjoyed it! 😊

[@dharmaosman184]

Thanks Taylor. I am local. Heard of Desa Park but no idea what is there nor the stories behind. Thanks for the enlightenment.

[@JasonLim-cc6iy]

Love this episode. I live close to Desa Park City but little is known about its history and the people behind it. I didn't know it sits on a quarry

[@rpasquale195]

Really enjoyed your video. Thank you to Julian for the background story of the project development. Fascinating what innovative design elements have been created from a quarry to a lush and serene park city. This is one of my fav episode you have done Andrew. Kudos to you for the great work always. Much Aloha from Honolulu Hawaii.

[@andrewtaylor4558]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🤗

[@garyt7232]

Another great interview. I appreciate the variety of topics that you have on your channel. Best wishes to you and to Earl Grey.

[@andrewtaylor4558]

Much appreciated!

[@fifik2108]

Another awesome video Mr Taylor. Always waiting for your post. Keep it up !

[@jackoneil3933]

Thanks Andy and Julian, and congratulations on completion of such a stunning property. Desa ParkCity does seem to have a unique and comfortable vibe. Unfortuntally many of us who would love to own or live in such a property are unable to meet or put off by Immigration requirements. Any insights or novel ideas in how we might navigate such challenges would be greatly appreciated .

[@christopherbobin4268]

Really interesting post Andrew: Your channel keeps getting better!

[@andrewtaylor4558]

So cool to see this video! Have been a subscriber to this channel for quite a while - and the content here supported me in the decision to move to Malaysia. And now I see a video in Casaman - and I live here 😅

Fabulous episode, Taylor! I grew up in PJ from the 80’s and didn’t even know that about Desa Park City! ^^

[@Yasin_Affandi]

What a lovely interview. Really good to see that you met lots of wonderful expatriates in Malaysia. The Desa Park City is a beautiful place to stay. The waterfront is stunning.

[@Yasin_Affandi]

1993, that's the year I joined KLCC at the site office. There were many international firms, professional consultants, project contractors involved in the development of the KLCC project from masterplanner, architects, engineers. KLCC learned a lot from the building technology from the western professional consultants.

[@andrewtaylor4558]

Glad you enjoyed it!

This is the right way to design cities for people. Not designed for cars like most cities in Malaysia.
