Iringan Hijau by C' Arch Architecture & Design

" A highly com positional and layered building well crafted and expresses and 'intellectual' mood.  The  simplicity in the detailing including the overall landscape approach , is sophisticated and elegant and truly expresses 'less is more'."

Iringan Hjau, New Residential Development that located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, was designed by C' Arch Architecture & Design Sdn Bhd. The project consists of a 3-storey residential development of 26 units on a 2 acre site. The site is located within a low rise residential area close to the traditional ambassadorial area of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The units range in size from 3,000 to 5,000 sq ft including single-floor apartments, duplexes and 3-storey townhouses arranged in four blocks with generous landscaped gardens in between, and single-storey daylit car park beneath the whole site.

Situated in the gated property in Shah Alam, Selangor; the site is relatively non-typical in that the access road is about 3m higher than the land and the road at the back is about 1.8m lower.  The site has an eastern aspect that provides an extensive and panoramic views to the golf course and the city.

Ting Residence by Wooi Architect

"Daring vision of bold, spectacular and evocative organic sculptural form sensitively integrated to nature, slope and trees in good weathering materials that are both vernacular and modern."

This house is built for a couple with two grown up children.  The client wanted a house that will take full advantage of the views afforded by the site which is situated on a steep slope.  The access road at the toe of the hillside is approximately 15m lower than the back boundary, where the first buildable level is at about 11m (for a three storey building) higher than the road.

The first curved line that defines the front face of the living and dining area is largely derived from the existing natural contour line.  The organic shape eventually becomes the main body of the building consisting of living, dining and kitchen on the ground floor whilst 3 bedrooms for the family and a guest room are located on the first floor.
