Arkitek Axis have sent us photos of one of their recent projects in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Full description after the photos….
Lot 18 House by Arkitek Axis
This house is conceptually a U-shaped plan which interlocked with the central landscape and swimming pool area. This house is consisted of 3 storey plan with living, dining and dry kitchen area interlocking around the central pool area on ground floor level, which articulated by long perimeter of full height large glazing, timber deck terrace and suspended concrete platform, forms a permeable and remarkable views towards out to the external pool landscape area. The dining with sliding doors opens up to the central pool area and form an important axis. The first level is consisted of three bedrooms with family hall at the central to open up to the balcony and overlook down to the landscape pool area whereas the infinity pool with roof top garden is located on the second floor level. The right side of the house forms landscape water feature which is visible from the large glazing of staircase area. The car park space is hidden at the back of the house.
This house has been completed in September 2009.

The exterior has too many details for my taste, but it’s certainly much more interesting than the typical house in Malaysia. There is a lot of fake historical styles of architecture in Malaysia, so it is good to see something contemporary.

Super house, super pictures…the photographer are very good.

this is not the typical malaysian architecture style.. nice touch on the glass details, i feel the house looks more organic that way..

sorry … but for me this house is ugly and boring, too. Looks for me that the architects left hand don’t know what the right want – this is everything and nothing!

over-decorated..exterior and interior
agree with oliver

Nice execution and some interesting details throughout, although it seems like the architect spent his entire bag of tricks and crammed it into this one house.

Let’s take everything we can about modern design, and some things we think are modern design and throw them and see if they stick. There is way too much going on that the really good details do get lost in the mix. A good bit of editing would probably produce a much better design.

Too bad the photographer’s view camera made the dimensions appear even MORE distorted and disorienting than had he used an ordinary spherical wide-angle…

agree with michael nash. nice tree/shrub in the backyard though.i’m different to the house design.

it’s a bit of a mix’n'match, with a lot of really exciting details but maybe just too many. There is a clear line missing..
Otherwise I have to agree with Michael and Lorna: Those distorted photos might look funky, but they certainly don’t help the architecture!

i felt the overall design reeks of over’excitement’ in details and physical appearances. The architect could do much better with some restraint, i reckon.

Very beautiful high impact and dramatic residential interior! The details are very clean and exciting. One negative comment however is that the exterior seems a little overworked.
I give it a 8/10

Nopes. This is just sickening. The design is not fluid and it seems disjointed. It’s BAD TASTE.

The architect was certainly a fan of the right angle… Looks more like a concept house.

busy…busy…anyone else dizzy?

The details are all covered here and overall the home is excellent!! Great Find

This is typical of malaysian architects trying too hard to look cool/modern. Ended up looking very disjointed, pastiche…basically just over-designed. Less is more.
James on 21 Oct 2009 at 8:40 pm #
This is more appropriate to be a building products showhouse. There are no theme or uniqueness to the design. It is more a piece of modern art.
RKB on 22 Oct 2009 at 9:18 pm #
Definitely a lot going on here.. Some nice details like the lounge chairs but overall just too busy.
ALan on 30 Oct 2009 at 2:47 am #
it’s good to host a party, product launching… not too sure if this is the client’s need or the designer’s. The house is definitely lack of warmth. Too busy with its architectural gestures, and forgotten about FF&E touches..

surely malaysian architecture lose its common tropical touch.its not suistainable at all because in the end of the day ..this solid brickwall will heat the building and its a full day of the use of air cond for me …
prem on 03 Dec 2009 at 8:22 pm #
being a malaysian, i will tell u that the design is sick, overdone and badly photographed! i don’t get the concept at all!

ITS really good design with stright line. its a good design but in the night view there was a lot of lights which is not a good sign for energy consumption

Oh, I really love this house. The exterior is superb. I love the colour and the details. Wish I can have a house like this some day. Nice work.

everybody have their own opinion but to me this is a great design modern home and worth buying if the dining room have a glass wall
