"We built a home, not an investment or passing on." I love that. 😍
Me too
Having good intention is great, but we still need to consider other things.
People may don't want to move in, your project may be overruned by plants and mosquitos...like this building in China.
th-cam.com/video/ChNePPmzKSU/w-d-xo.html
I still think you need to consider the passing on component as whoever ends up with it will have a real headache on their hands and to think otherwise is selfish.
Truly the mindset of someone special .Those who pioneers and bring about real change .
@@splint3048 no, to insist that homes are built for other future people instead of for the people actually living in the houses is selfish.
I'm so happy for this couple they finally got their dream home. You can't really please everyone. This house is tailored to the owner's needs and wants not to just everyone's taste. This makes the architects design's successful. I am very impressed how the couple set an example that there is no limit to sustainability.
I love the uniqueness of this house. The risk is when the neighbors on both sides decide to also built to its height, the architecture would then disintegrate in an instance. The greatness of the house borrows a lot from the modesty of its surrounding.
I'd counter argue that.
Conservatism, especially amongst the prominent, is quickly dying.
Younger individuals these days don't conform to a way of life, and have explored the world, opening their eyes to things such as liberalism and freedom of expression.
I actually see more terrace houses being bought up and redesigned in a contemporary and unique way. This is the future of landscape in Malaysia, especially amongst the prominent areas and it is very exciting indeed.
I would love to see townships where each terrace house had an architect run through and totally redesigned the house. Can you imagine what wild designs will start popping up. Exciting!
They have the opportunity to match this and sell for higher, I guess.
The windows were build on the front and back side of the houses ,and the sunshine enter from here ,so I think It may not have so much shadow and bad impact..I don't know,it is just a thinking from the video
@@footytube9500 yes this would be amazing and I too would look forward to these new houses. But a question to ask is whether these collection of houses, each completely creative but different to each other will complement each other.
Yes it will disintegrate because the tree will break the foundation. Trees like chicu . Especially chicu will grow big .and pomelo still have roots it will crack the walls!!
I love the house. I wish to have a sustainable house in the future.
I wish they incorporate the hydroponic system to lessen the water consumption
But I have some questions:
How do they manage the insects, mosquitos, flies and ants?
Will the structure can withstand the weights of plants over time?
Are they located in earthquake prone area?
Good question. I also wonder if the armed concrete will survive global warming as metal expands quicker than concrete. I hope so.
It's in Malaysia, water is free as it rain almost every other day and there are no earthquakes.
The mosquitoes are a problem wherever you are in Malaysia, but if they let the geckos and the spiders live together with them that will reduce the mosquitoes somewhat.
@@syasyaishavingfun gecko shit too annoying tho.. 🥴
No problem with insects. The geckos and fish take care of things.
The rainwater tanks provide nearly all the water year round.
The plants weigh very little.
A few tremors from earthquakes in Sumatra. KL is very fortunate in terms of tectonics.
Yes, insects are big problems in many countries because they can trasmit Chaga disease, dengue, chikungunya...many countries expend a lot of money on fighting these diseases.
I think houses shouldn't have "garden" on every floor (in fact, this big house with many floor is not good for old people and disable people... if you want a house for living there till you die you need to remember that you are going to get old and ill).
I think people should think more about being elder. Rich people can buy elevator, cleaners, chefs...but most people on Earth aren't rich.
I think people should buy houses that:
-have a proper size (= to avoid dirty space, to avoid space that isn't used, to avoid buying another house because the family became bigger etc)
-have no floor (= better for old people, paraplejic people etc)
-have a proper space for vegetals (=It avoids redundancy and It gives vegetals the respect they deserve).
i love that he mentioned that he built a home, so many people in this country thinks about just practicality and selling on value and all, and usually design is compromised because of that. its why so many houses here are cookie cutter box shaped and lack imagination.
I absolutely hate the houses that lacked this customised simple home for people who looked for a change of pace in this country. I want a large garden, farmland, underground storages and star viewing roof. I want a good home that are independent with it's own eco friendly energy sufficient that able to stand on itself off grid land.
I dislike conjoined houses, narrow spaces, generals noises, lacked of green and noisy neighbours.
@@wanderingghost7324 same. And the worst is that when you bring these things up in conversation people will think you want "atas" or "rich" lifestyle. These things are basically not worth much, but they have been removed from homes here so long that these are seen as "premium" things to have in a house now. Ridiculous
@@adkan1995 That's because the general people haven't been exposed to the ideas of a simple home that built for a long term project. A good home is the home that can survive on itself, like earth intergrated houses aka hobbit like.
I loves simple home that are careful planned and intergrated with the earth. When you built homes or design a city that will last for hundreds of years, you had to have this kind of mentality.
The houses can be reselled in the future for the future generations. The houses had to have a room for improvement. I'm been thinking long term is very good instead of houses that will be rotted, abandoned and lacked the natural ambience that allowed for self sufficient.
If more people aware of this, people will change their narrowed minds into a more creative way of living. People shouldn't judge others for this and instead work together to build our own homes. The houses had to work together with each other to created a superior way of houses that able to accommodate the creative sides of the owner. Together the world united.
@@wanderingghost7324 fully agreed, couldn't have said it better.
@@wanderingghost7324 wow, you want a large garden, a farmland..? This place is called Bangsar, virtually a part of the City of Kuala Lumpur. This is like other cities - Jakarta, Tokyo, London , NY. This is the house within half hour to City centre! Ever see large garden or farms within the mentioned cities?
You want large garden, get one within 3 hour drive away, plenty of space to build your farmhouse there.
It's true that the client and architect should have been more considerate and consider how the design does affect its surrounding neighbours. But on the other hand, this is located in the wealthy affluent neighbourhood of Bangsar where we see a lot of obtrusive renovations that are far worse than this; at least this was designed with some sustainability and green elements involved. It's inevitable this wealthy neighbourhood will change and become more densely built instead of maintaining the outdated terrace houses which families will outgrow over time. 50 years later, we probably see this neighbourhood having an eclectic range of unique designed homes much like Japan. It's a beautifully designed home that really stands out in Malaysian architecture and hope to see more of this.
I dont mind it actually. If you travel overseas, especially to European or western countries, you can see that each house is individual, custom built and uniquely designed. There's no conformity and people are free to express themselves through the property that they have built.
Malaysia is quickly changing. Gone are the days of being conservative and timid, especially when it comes to designing your own home.
And I actually see this as the future of terrace houses in and around the KL city centre. As more and more prominent, wealthy and young at heart individuals take over. Especially those who have gone overseas to work and live for a few years and looking to return to Malaysia as an early retirement destination.
These type of people aren't necessarily looking for a big bungalow and prefer to purchase a quaint smaller house in the Klang Valley and use the funds instead to build their own unique home of their own to retire and live in.
Only Angmo can do whatever they want even in your backyard... you try to do the same in their European or north american neighbourhood?
they should be thrown out of Malaysia.... period...
@@qqsxza so angry. Lol
Strictly design-wise, I have no issue - it was inspiring.
However, I saw a lot of red flag in regard with compliance with current Municipal Law. Please refer: psasir.upm.edu.my/id/eprint/78451/1/FRSB%202018%2019%20IR.pdf
Any idea how the house immediately left and right of the house are affected when there are heavy rain? and how about blocking natural aeration coming from left and right?
- I love his response when people tell him "you won't be able to sell it" - Him: "We build a home, not an investment" -
Hi! i'm an archi student here in the philippines and it really inspires me to watch your videos especially the part where you explain the function and purpose of your designs.

DBKL, the authority allowed such project???? Disgusting and selfish !!!!!
Goodluck future Architect
Indeed a very well designed house.... and of course this line from the architect himself on designing such a liveable house is underappreciated " Of course the second half is all because of the owner, how they made it happened. " Designers 100% can relate to that.
I went thru 6 months of hell when my neighbor did a major Reno and built a balcony. I can't imagine their neighbors had to gone thru.
Hi Alex,how long did you take to complete the whole renovation pls.Anyway can i know,do you accept work out of K.L ( other state in Malaysia?Tq
I am in awe of this house and what the plant boxes can provide the residents. How inspiring!
thats an amazing home, and I love that she reused so much of her families original home and furnishings.
I love this house. The planter boxes providing privacy and air flow, the mid-century modern furniture and the reclaimed wood.

Amazing production, amazing house, thank you for covering this so well.
Mesti rumah ni sejuk, tapi hati jiran-nya panas. Mesti kena rajin sapu dan mengemas. Ape2 pun idea ini sangat bagus. Mgkin boleh Diguna pakai Di perkampungan
I love how this channel put English sub. .. the house is airy and spacious hats off to the architect.
Absolutely inspiring! What a creative expression of the architect and the owner's vision and passion.
So proud to be able to be taught by Mr Cherng Yih back in my architectural foundation and degree a few years back in uni and so proud of the achievements he has grown to achieve. Truly a great designer!

wow, what an amazing house and a home to live... enjoy the rest of your remaining days
This place is just so exquisite. Thank you Design Seed for showcasing; was a fantastic watch.
I also love the way the architect/builder said that working with these two owners and building their place made him look at building differently. What a beautiful partnership and story as much as it is a story and inspiration.
Amazingly Beautiful!
Love how COOL this house is!
WOW!
Wow!
WOW!!
Life is good … what an AMAZING home you have built for yourselves, WOW!!
I like the way stairs are designed and back of the house on the ground floor which is double hight space. Also, the fan and windows arrangements in double hight volume is very good.
beautiful articulated spaces with very practical and pleasant planter boxes with healthy tropical fruits plants. amazing !!!
I always wanted to know how is it like inside this house. Thanks Design Seed!
Thank you choon! Cheers
Same here, have been very curious
I can hear the lady owner talking about her house all day. Her accent is so enchanting and so is her house. It's definitely a beautiful house 🌻🌻
OMG! The house it is beautiful and efficient, it looks like the Babylon hanging gardens. Congratulatios it's a exeptional work.
Good to see the house. Spacious and green. Your fruits are best addition to the greens.
Must be airy throughout the whole day and so green as well. Such a dreamy house to live in!
Cool and airy. Electric bill less than 15$ US a month.
Small space maximized to the fullest very relaxing atmosphere within love the fruits and the plants
Inspirational! It will lift the imagination of the neighborhood!
How wonderful, you’ve encompassed your own sanctuary inside outside living spaces that create, space, beauty and comfort. I hope you enjoy your home it looks beautiful 🤩
Outstanding work by the architect. Tranquil and stunning
In light of climate change, archi designers should incorporate sustainable designs instead of a home where one has to turn on the light as they enter despite Malaysia having an all year round sunlight. Not only that, the design is so brilliant that the house is cool enough that air-conditioning is not required most times! Although the lot is small, the owners actually make use of the small space that they have! Simply brilliant. No other words to describe it.
Disgusting....selfish owner. Where is the authority (DBKL)???? Corrupted
Amazing design, and also video. Thanks for showing us this wonderful house!

I love everything about this house.
Maybe it s not too friendly for seniors but it is certainly great for young couple or young family
This is an amazing home. Well done.
So beautiful .... love it !
What a lovely home, I can't believe how light it is
This is my dream house love it so much.thank you for inspiring.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful home with us. Keep up the good work Design Seed. Loving your contents :)
Sustainability, green , food on tape, love this👏👏👏👏
I guess in this case money was a "door opener" to become the allowance to build a house, which is much higher than the other ones around it. Maybe I would like the house if it was somewhere else, but here it's just a thorn in the side of a nice neighbourhood.
I was surprised to see it was allowed - it must be oppressive to live next to them in almost total shade. I would have felt bad to build my happiness whilst oppressing my neighbours. Bad karma LOL. Awesome home, wrong place.
Planning allows the addition of an extra floor. There is a good reason for it in cities where space is at a premium. As for the comment on money, it hardly deserves a reply. Just ill will in my view.
Thank you for sharing this video with us. I really love this house concept and design! It is so great ...
Wow 😲 it's like living in a tropical paradise 🤗
Thank you seed production finally review about this house ☺️😍
That's beautiful, the facade and the trees that provide fruit is brilliant.
I love watching these videos about incredible homes, all around the world, and then it hits me that they're real. People are living in them, at this very moment. So wonderful that they're sharing with everyone. 😊
So much Life in this home. Amazing!
VERY VERY WELL THOUGHT OUT. LOVE THE DESIGN. Brutalist made humane and exquisite.
Problem with local tropical trees is the falling of leaves might disturb the surrounding area.
Also raising levels might prevent natural lights and fresh airflow to reach neighbours house.
Please negotiate with the neighbours if you want to do this kind of stuff in the future.
that very cool house when stay home feel relaxing with trees ,love design
Wow Prof Jade your house is awesome.I love this kind of concept.
Amazing home! This is truly a work of art.
Wow..another amazing piece of architecture.. love the ideas..

big fan of tropical malaysian architecture!!!!
Green green grass of home...beautiful...
This is what satisfaction is. Why to look for more or most expensive every time when we can get true satisfaction with natural things.😊
Wonderful i will just say.
I really like it although it seems that it would’ve fit better in Tokyo. It’s so great to go vertical and have all these great planter boxes. I am surprised we do not have more of these.
So beautifull house design,good video,like your green house
Omg kedondong! Try eats the 'pucuk' young leaves. It is so good.
Amazing! Love it!!!
Loved this. Thank you for this series.
It's an incredible house, but i kind of agree with the neighbors. It feel intrusive and I wouldn't like to be living next to it. It's definitely not a house design that is friendly towards it's neighbors.
Yes agree...great house but I think in Malaysia’s one only needs to pay the council or local authorities some coffee money and they will approve the planning..
@@sheldonsworld8853 i dont mind the design, maybe a tad too tall.
since nobody is going to buy the neighbour, you can get the neighbours property cheaply and also build your own experimental architecturally designed house.
this is actually the future of terrace houses in and around the city centre. As more and more prominent, wealthy and young at heart individuals take over. Especially those who have gone overseas to work and live for a few years and looking to return to Malaysia as an early retirement destination.
These type of people aren't necessarily looking for a big bungalow and prefer to purchase a quaint smaller house in the Klang Valley and use the funds instead to build their own unique home of their own to retire and live in.

I can hear a comment by Mami Jarum; "BUAT PA PI BELA POKOK-POKOK HUTAN LAGU NI. PI AMBIK NI SEMUA NI BUAT BELA NYAMUK JA. BILA NYAMUK BANYAK DIA KETIT SEMUA ORANG. SATU KAMPUNG KENA KETIT NYAMUK TU. PUNCA, DIA.” Joking. LOVE the house!
i love this! im from the philippines and im looking into ideas to incorporate in building a house that can keep cool during hot weather.
the world is getting hotter 😅
never heard of bubble decks before..thank you for the new information
Love the concept!
amazing idea ! Love it.
Really loves the concept but like it mention they should build it somewhere else 😅. In terms of being practical is not really good for aging occupants.I cannot imagine climbing up and down the stairs at age 80-90 and imagine climbing up the planter box to harvest the fruits as well as cleaning up those leaves 🍁
Agree 👍
When he climbed up that tree trunk (steps for longhouses) to check the banana plant, I was like, "Gosh, what if he gets vertigo up there?" I mean, yeah, they're not very young. If they were my parents, I would always get nervous for them. I love the house though, for myself.
Pre fitted to instal a lift when older. Rock climbing was my passion but you are right will need safety harness soon but am training some youngsters to take over.
Such a beautiful home.
Just loved every bit of the house..
I ve been looking for malaysia channel and found it at last..keep up with ur content

So creative and unique.
Really unique design.
Nice house. Very comfort. And your electric billing very impressed me. In indonesia can be 5-6 times from your bill.
Manifesting this kind of home concept. Really cosy
Amazing humans 💜 Amazing home 🍃
It’s so green. I love to have one like this
Inlove with these house 😍😍
非常認同永續的設計，日夜光線移動應該相當美麗，像美術展館般的家，真是有福氣~
I'm so glad there are other people who are building a home they want to live in insead of a home they don't want because of "resale value".
Wow what an incredible design
Projeto incrível! 👍🏽👍🏽🇧🇷🇧🇷
This feels like the type of house the architect and the owner enjoy building because it's so unconventional and fun
Amazing! Sorprendente! Greetengs from Argentina
Love, love the outdoor spaces, all the greens. The height of the ceiling, drawing hot air out! So practical, functional, and absolutely sustainable. Bravo!
Yes, in terms of the neighbors, it's kind of a pity.
3:34 using their limes for the afternoon vodka tonic. 😃 retirement goals right there
Love this idea, may think to grow lime tree for my retirement 🤔
I would said this is a wonderful and meaningful content, ignite my imagination
