WORKS/ House at Rawang

Set within the green edges of Rawang, this home was designed as a calm and grounded living space that brings together familiar materials and cultural references. Created for a multi-generational family, it blends the needs of modern life with details that recall older ways of living.

​

Timber plays a central role throughout — not just as a surface finish, but as part of how the house feels and flows. From grooved wall panels to shelving, seating, and screens, wood is used to create warmth, rhythm, and a quiet sense of permanence. Natural light shifts across these surfaces during the day, adding softness and depth.

​

Cultural influences appear in small, thoughtful ways. Ming-style chairs, calligraphy, and carved timber benches are integrated into the larger design, not as decorative elements but as pieces that feel lived with. Screens, built-ins, and a sense of openness reflect an East Asian approach to space that values flow and balance.

​

Private spaces carry through the same materials and palette. The children’s room adds playfulness without breaking tone, while workspaces are built into corners and corridors — efficient, but still part of the home’s calm atmosphere.
