Text description provided by the architects. The contemporary bungalow is situated on sloping terrain against a picturesque forest backdrop and overlooks a valley basin within the golf resort of Meru Valley, Ipoh. While the emphasis on fostering close family relationships was defined within the scope, the owners’ desire for a residence that would stand out from the conventional dwelling, with a degree of design variation as they navigated the spaces all contained within the double-story structure. Its physical form features bold cuboid forms, which are juxtaposed and staggered across conjured to capitalize its topography and incorporate natural elements within. A split-level approach was adopted, coupled with a deep ground-level recess, which allowed for the building to be visually elevated while also allowing greeneries to be carried inwards and throughout. Being a multi-generational friendly residence, ramp access and lift access are also provided for ease of access by the elderly.
