Production Technology
This design was created using CAD software to carefully plan and refine intricate arch patterns and structural elements. Materials like premium hardwood, woven wicker, and brass accents were selected for both durability and aesthetic appeal. Traditional lighting techniques were employed to enhance natural light and create a warm, inviting ambiance. CAD modeling ensured precision in material use and spatial arrangement, optimizing functionality and harmony in the overall design.
Design Challenge
The hardest challenge in this design was balancing traditional aesthetics with modern functionality. Maintaining cultural authenticity while meeting contemporary standards of comfort and style was key. Internally, we respected historical and social perspectives, while externally, material availability and local production posed challenges. Overcoming these involved sourcing sustainable materials and using CAD technology to ensure precision and efficiency in the design process.

It blends traditional and contemporary elements, creating an inviting and sophisticated atmosphere. Rich blue tones, intricate arches, and ornate lattice work reflect Middle Eastern and South Asian aesthetics, evoking traditional tandoor houses. The design combines handcrafted details, natural materials, and cultural heritage, offering a timeless yet modern space for a global clientele.
Project Duration
The project started in April 2023 in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia and finished at end of 2023.
