Malaysia's Extraordinary Terrace House Transformation｜NJ House｜Architecture｜House Tour

Welcome to DESIGN SEED!
Todays episode on Design Seed we will be revealing a transformation of a 2-storey terrace house. This is an extraordinary house built by Sime Darby in 2009 but totally transformed just 10 years later by its architect owner to suit the lifestyle of her family.
The outcome of this restructured floor plan is an extraordinary transformation, where you can enjoy the natural lighting from within the property and yet be able to enjoy a view.
The house is a critical comment on all new terrace housing that rarely introduces natural ventilation and day light.
The valuable takeaway from this project is to learn and be exposed,
that the standard floor plans of most conventional properties are not crafted to suit every single household.
Or could it be, the lifestyle of today’s habitation of Malaysian’s has evolved?
Is it time for greater attention to be emphasized into the design of the new floor plans of today’s modern development that could permit for easy personalization?
Share your comments below and let us know what are the challenges that you are facing with your property?
In our next episode, we will be knocking the doors to some hidden cafes with strong design influence which could hopefully inspire you guys and uplift the awareness and boost our Malaysian Design scene.

Thanks. This is more relevant to Malaysian lifestyle as most of us reside in a terrace intermediate (and Condo) , not bungalows, semi dees or corners.

[@cathhl2440]

Common landed property in Singapore too.

[@choakheongthoe2327]

The owner-architect has a number of original ideas and executed them all well. Bravo to her. I liked that there are 2 areas in the house where sunlight can beam in in addition to the front and back. And the rooftop for the husband to take photos, hobbies, is just amazing.

[@mindtwister1984]

Red brick ventilation, perforated metal staircases, natural lighting created from air wells....adds to new dimensions to modern tropical living. Great stuff. Hope design seed continues to challenge architecture norms and push its boundaries where there are no limits.

[@donho8613]

Always inspiring especially when its related to an existing Malaysian built house transformed by our local architect.

[@ronaldlopena8193]

Wow all i can say

[@choongjiancheong8923]

Very nice house

[@emmanuelcharlot1695]

The Narrow dark tunnels of British terraced houses could adopt so many of these beautiful indoor/outdoor spaces and turn whole streets into light and nature filled environmentally friendly housing. Inspiring channel!

[@sukbkt4121]

Couldn’t agree more!

[@laumali07]

Wow! Just wow! I like the natural lighting in almost every nook of the house; I like the detached C-channel to cover the possible stains in the flat roof; I like when it is lighted at night; I like the perforated stairs to let the air pass through; I like the two courtyards and the wet kitchen facing the alfresco. Indeed a magnificent transformation. Thank you Design Seed for featuring such wonderful architecture, kudos also to Khor Jee Ee!

[@erushii8312]

Design Seed knows how to pleasure my eyes

[@SuperWangzy]

This is my favorite house so far i this channel. I love the positioning of courtyards. And I love the polished concrete countertops 👍🏾

[@MazlinMalek]

My lord, love your design so much. So spacious, so airy, livable. So logic in every sense. 1000 likes from me!

[@BigBrotherMars]

Yes m'lord. Do what must be done Lord Vader

[@leneekay1]

That was a pretty remarkable piece of architecture. Love it's kitchen, and all the openness, ventilations, color schemes, and the open shower area. Well done 👍👍 This is among one of my fav.

[@jnac8857]

I just love your channel, your terrace house designs are exceptional and always emphasize the importance of cross ventilation especially in a smaller space in the tropical climate of Southeast Asia. Thank you for inspiring me.

[@afsataleebafsataleeb7729]

The best informative and beautiful transformation for us Malaysian. Relatable and adaptable to every intermediate terrace house owner to have the best out of their house. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@justswim1052]

This is why your design is the best I have seen so far for terrace houses because you take great consideration on the ventilation and natural lighting.

[@charliekelmeckis5312]

Everything in this house is well planned. By far the best I’ve seen here.

[@mamnim2027]

Structural design is stunning, But as SEA neighbor. How did you deal with mosquito with this much opening???

Design Seed always raises the bar! Some of the most creative indoor/outdoor residential design is emminating from Malaysia and has relevance for a broad swath of the globe far beyond Southeast Asia to India, Africa, South America, the Caribbean, and more. I really enjoy the way you showcase innovative architecture. It's truly exceptional. Bravo!

[@MarcosRavena]

What a beautiful and cozy place! It's very inspirational house for warm countries like Brazil! I love open space with ventilation and nature around.

[@colbr6733]

Really wonderful to see what is a very typical home that wouldn't be out of place here in Europe, totally transforming into a home that enhances your sense of well being by bringing light, space and more welcoming and versatile spaces that flow through the building. Malaysia really has fantastic, creative talent.

[@joshuaababa4837]

This is so far, my favorite terrace house project!

[@tuttifruitti0]

love the internal courtyards idea so much!! and the double volume living area is amazing 😍

As much as the amazing architecture and design, the camera work truly elevates our viewing experience to the next level. Kudos to the cameraman!

[@tokyodrifttt]

Awesome episode! Thanks for sharing reasons behind each design choice

[@hughkirk3946]

This is indeed an extraordinary home. The courtyard concept was core to the magnificence of this space by bringing the outdoors, indoors by filtering light throughout the space. This is design at it's best!

[@54mm30]

wow... that courtyard idea is GENIUS !! Just hope that more Malaysian developers make terrace houses like this one geeeez !!

[@corapartosa4724]

Awesome design. I like that the owner - architect gives importance to natural lighting, ventilation, trees/plants. It's such a lovely design!

The architect did great job to find away for the house to hv more natural lights and wider space. I like the outdoor kitchen.

[@ModernARQ]

Wow! I loved how it turned out!

[@robusta1527]

Ingenious design. Well done NJ 👏🏻🎉. Its new perspective for terrace house to equipped with natural light and nature ventilation.

Wow this is such thoughtful and considered design. So clever. The wet kitchen on the terrace would work in so many hot climates, even here in Australia I hate cooking during Summer because it makes the house so hot

[@PolyglotJOWO]

inspiring me a lot to create such great model like this. Congrats.

[@allykor6103]

So impressed of the house design…👍👍👍

[@dannycju]

I love your points at the end of the video. While not everyone realise we all need good ventilation and natural lighting, they are fundamental, I am not sure how much the design of terrace houses has evolved so that even terrace houses can have good ventilation and natural lighting, with design that makes sense.

OMG.... Love it.

[@menjadi9]

A truly great design! I love the choice of plants of the front yard. However, I would choose another type of tree for the inner courtyard ... look at the the fallen tiny leaves on the floor! It is really a battle of sunlight vs suction (of the vacuum).

[@puccismile]

Alex! I am so inspired. Out of the Terrace Houses, this may be the best fit for me. Can you also consider content about fire escapes or security in terrace houses? Like here in NJ house where the bedroom is pushed back towards the end - will that room be safe in case of emergencies? I really love the channel. I found it this month and have been devouring it, saying one day, I will have my dream house.

[@ytgessle]

Supposingly, there is a narrow road good enough for emegecny usage.

[@Aeybiseediy]

all terrace houses in malaysia have small roads at the back at least 5" for emergency purposes.

[@skc1636]

Love this house

[@abhasapre8047]

Brilliant design 👌

[@NHS1611]

Love this! Love the lights that comes in despite it being a middle terrace house….terrace house commonly don’t have enough light, good views if right smack in the middle, and noisy too. Hope the design team can share inspiration to help ease it?

[@ShivalinyNaidu]

Well use of space..good job..

[@danaesquires7571]

This is lovely

[@annanirathsi1111]

These interior courtyards are so simple and seemingly intuitive and yet I have never seen anything like them before. "Mother" is the necessity of invention in this house.
