Plenty of us can appreciate the aesthetic and class of a well designed abode, and the SS3 Residental House that’s located in one of the largest residential suburbs in Petaling Jaya is nothing if not an example of modern elegance. A gorgeous bungalow by Seshan Design, the home follows the current trend of a raw, industrial aesthetic that’s a hit with the younger generation of local architects. While there’s plenty of untarnished fairface concrete, cement screed and plaster and bricks all around, the look is balanced with “finished” elements, adding much needed contrast and modern edge.
One might think such a contemporary home would be furnished with a series of modern furniture, but again, contrast of the old and new happen to work well here. The home boasts a vintage collection of old furniture, lights, artwork and other assortments, making for a unique abode that blends the classic and the current nicely.
Playing with high volumes also gives another dimension to the space and combined with an open horizontal light of sight like the open view to the pool from all the main spaces of the ground floor it makes the user experience the entire house as a much larger space than it actually is. The larger volumes also allow for increased natural lighting and more cross ventilation.
The main double volume living space was done entirely in free form fairfaced concrete as the main feature for the entrance of the house. The living room was done in broken Ipoh white marble which is a throwback traditional flooring which was very popular in Malaysia, back in the 60’s and 70’s. The bedrooms were all finished in LEEDs certified, luxury vinyl tiles which had a timber grain look and feel. No matter which section of the house, it maintains an air of luxury all the way through.
There’s much more to talk about the SS3 Residental House, but we’ll let the pictures here do the place justice instead.
