About Cubiq House 12 Edifici Residencial

Com que aquesta casa està envoltada de parcs naturals i paisatges, vam idear un disseny inspirat en la natura que presenta tonalitats urbanes còmodes i textures de fusta càlides per capturar l'ambient rejovenidor del seu entorn. La majestuosa característica del sostre de fusta és sens dubte un atractiu per a la zona comuna per mantenir la connectivitat visual a cada espai, mentre que el gran sostre de doble volum assegura que cada racó s'il·lumina amb una bona quantitat de llum natural.

Production Technology
Generally, we have chosen a plethora of natural building materials corresponding to our nature-inspired concept that calms the human senses. The main ceiling feature at entrance hallway is decked out in slim timber planks surrounded the double volume living hall. The full height glass windows are equipped with roller blinds for enhanced daylight, privacy, and further blurred the lines between interior and exterior. We personalized the design with authentic wooden finishes, quartz stone, metal and cement-like elements, which contrast the neutral color scheme beautifully.
Design Challenge
The balance between practicality and aesthetics was always a major focus in our design process especially when it comes to interior spaces with an open-layout concept. We need to ensure that each space is illuminated with a healthy amount of natural light to reduce energy consumption. At the same time, durable materials that are easily maintained such as timber wood, anti-crack textured wall paint, quartz stone, stainless steel were incorporated into the design to provide a hassle-free option for the inhabitants.
Research
Natural Materials: The qualities of its craftmanship, material selection and practical solutions of its design.
Functional Spaces: Apart from the transparent, artistic and accessible qualities, an open layout provide the resident freedom and enhance interaction and communication for the family.
Style and Character: Featuring concept appearances with minimalist approach to add character into the home design while reflecting homeowner's personality taste and catering to their modern lifestyle needs.
Inspiration
As this home is located in an award-winning integrated township which designed to enliven the resident lifestyle with a sustainable environment that balances community, recreation and landscape. We have decided to model the design of this residence after a nature-inspired lifestyle that is both rustic and comfortable. Contemporary design features were applied to lighten up its overall approach with the furnishing, so its inhabitants can enjoy the alluring tropical climate in style and comfort.
Project Duration
The project started in Jan 2021 at Kota Kemuning, Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia and completed in May 2021.
Operation Flow
The unstructured wall that separates the space was torn down to make way for a large island counter connecting dining table, and a functional wet kitchen, providing a greater flow while maintaining visual connectivity between spaces. Additionally, the absence of clutters further ensured that the interior is beautifully illuminated by natural lighting to enhance the spaciousness of its open space layout. More importantly, the eye-catching wooden ceiling panel can be beautifully highlight at the common area, as the designer intended.
