The strength of EL Residence lies in its customized layouts and harmonious balance between different design elements. The team extended and casted new structures to best suit the preferences and requirements of the client. The result is a layout that is more permeable and functional, encouraging better interaction between each space in the house. Fengshui elements were also harmoniously incorporated into the space, adding a sense of uniformity and uniqueness.
The realization of EL Residence involved careful planning and collaboration with the client. After confirming the mood board, which showcased the overall feeling of the interior, the design criteria, such as emphasizing natural lighting and complying with Fengshui requirements, were adopted. Sketching played a crucial role in the production and realization of the design idea. Proposals for different materials and color suggestions were discussed with the team and the client to achieve the desired overall vibe.
EL Residence is a 2795sqft unit that was expanded to increase its functionality. To ensure the stability of the newly casted floors, sub-structures such as treated timber piling and ground beams were used. Lightweight bricks were chosen for the casting of structures to ensure the existing structures could withstand the extensions. Water stop seal was used between the joining of new and existing structures to prevent cracking and further complications.
Completed in January 2019 in Kedah, Malaysia, EL Residence is a testament to the meticulous research and attention to detail by the design team. Overcoming challenges such as maintaining the harmony between the existing and new structures and incorporating Fengshui requirements, the team successfully created a space that is both visually stunning and functional.
EL Residence has been recognized for its outstanding design and creativity. It was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail, and Exhibition Design category in 2020. This prestigious award is bestowed upon designs that exhibit strong technical and creative skills, contributing to quality of life improvements and making the world a better place.
