About Heart By Tree Villahuis

Book Text: Heart by Tree is 'n villahuis geleë in Gunung Pulai, Malaysië. Die villa word gevorm deur vier geboublokke wat rondom 'n sentrale binneplaas gerangskik is. Gras en wilgerplante bedek die slaapkamerdakke en verbeter hitte-isolasie. Twee lang voorvaderlike bome is na die terrein oorgeplant as 'n teken van dankbaarheid aan die eienaar. Sink en vlegsel vorm die onderstel van die grasdak, wat geskik is vir die warm klimaat. Keramiektegels, granite en glas wat deur fabrieke weggegooi is, is herbenut in die versiering. Die uitleg volg die tradisionele binneplaashuis-konsep.

Unique Properties: The villa is formed by four blocks of building, surrounding a courtyard. The designer uses lawn or meadow, and willow plant as the roof for the bedrooms, which allows better heat insulation. Apart from these two plant types, the designer also transplanted two iconic tall ancestral trees that signifies and serves as a token of gratitude to the owner’s great contribution to the society.
Dimensions & Packaging: Build up 10000 square feet

Production Technology: We complete the Heart by Tree to minimize construction costs and protect the environment. Due to the hot climate in Malaysia, we use zinc and fiber as the chassis of the lawn roof. In the decoration section, we look for some materials that have been abandoned by the factory, such as ceramic tiles, granite and glass.
Design Challenge: The villa was built on a hill and it rained heavily during the construction, it took three tries for the 5-tonne old tree to be successfully transplanted.
Research: We hope to build a leisure villa house that is unique in Malaysia.
Inspiration: The villa is built for summer weather throughout the year, situated in the humidity of a tropical forest. And hence, the designer is hopeful that the use of plants and ponds will bring in a harmonious blend of temperature, in and around the villa, to substantiate the serenity amidst the hustle and bustle. The layout and design of the villa also provides protection against the wildlife intrusion into the compound. The inception of the villa concept and its design, begins from the courtyard house concept, a unique Chinese architecture characteristic dated back two thousand years ago. The inspiration of the design is the modernization and innovation of traditional Chinese culture, and ultimately to create a cosy environment that brings families together.
Project Duration: The project started in October 2019 in Gunung Pulai and will finish in July 2020.
Operation Flow: From design to build.
