- Unique Properties
- This project re-imagines the domestic core as a continuous living landscape where material and light define spatial experience. A monolithic Taj Mahal quartzite island anchors the kitchen, while a Palladium Sage quartzite console extends into the living and dining area, establishing a unified material language. Full-height glazing dissolves the boundary to the garden, allowing cooking, gathering, and living to exist as one fluid environment.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Built-up area: 2,955 sqft.

- Production Technology
- The project was realized through precise coordination between custom carpentry and natural stone fabrication. Taj Mahal and Palladium Sage quartzite were carefully selected and book-matched to maintain visual continuity, while tailored joinery ensured seamless integration of storage and appliances. Full-height glazing systems were installed to maximize daylight while maintaining thermal and spatial performance.
- Design Challenge
- The primary challenge was balancing spatial openness with functional clarity within an originally enclosed and dim interior. Introducing a courtyard reconfigured the layout to bring daylight and ventilation into the core, while careful zoning ensured the living and kitchen areas remained fluid yet purposeful without compromising usability.
- Research
- This project investigates how spatial continuity and natural light can redefine the domestic core. By introducing a courtyard into a previously enclosed interior, the design enhances daylight, ventilation, and openness. A unified material palette of Taj Mahal and Palladium Sage quartzite with timber reinforces spatial clarity, demonstrating how openness and functionality can coexist in a cohesive living environment.
- Inspiration
- The design was inspired by the idea of calm domestic living shaped by light and material continuity. By connecting the living room and dry kitchen through a restrained palette of Taj Mahal and Palladium Sage quartzite, timber, and soft neutral tones, the space allows everyday rituals to unfold naturally while maintaining a strong relationship with the surrounding garden.
- Project Duration
- The project started in May 2025 and finished in August 2025 in Valencia, Sg. Buloh, Malaysia.
- Operation Flow
- The spatial flow is organized as a continuous sequence between the living,dining, kitchen, and courtyard, allowing movement to unfold naturally without rigid boundaries. The central island acts as both a functional workspace and social anchor, encouraging interaction, while clear circulation paths ensure efficiency and ease of use within an open yet structured environment.
