2-Storey Bungalow
— A Contemporary Family Home in Bukit Rimau

The project

A family home around a double-height hall.

The 2-Storey Bungalow is a contemporary family home in Bukit Rimau, Shah Alam, Selangor. White rendered volumes sit under deep, flat eaves, a dark double-height glazed bay marks the living hall, and a flat-roofed car porch on slender columns opens onto a broad tiled forecourt.

Design approach

White planes, deep eaves and glass

Two storeys of white rendered volumes are capped by flat roofs that reach well beyond the walls, their undersides lined in wood-grain panels. A dark, double-height glazed bay framed in slim vertical fins marks the living hall, and a long boundary wall with recessed horizontal grooves wraps the site.

Side elevation: a white two-storey volume with deep eaves beside a dark double-height glazed bay, behind a long white boundary wall

A contemporary home whose double-height rooms fill with daylight, while deep eaves, fins and a solid boundary wall keep it shaded and private.

Three elements

01

Double-height glazing

A dark glazed bay framed in vertical fins rises through both floors, lighting the living hall and screening it from the street.

02

Deep flat eaves

White flat roofs cantilever beyond the walls, with wood-grain soffits beneath, shading the windows below.

03

Porch and forecourt

A flat-roofed canopy on slender columns shelters the cars and opens onto a broad tiled forecourt.

Our work

Double-height rooms, full of light.


Inside, the living hall rises through both floors. A sculptural spiral staircase with a black glass balustrade climbs to a gallery above, and full-height windows with tall curtains bring daylight deep into the rooms.
