Project Overview

Completed in April 2026, the new residential project in Seri Teratai, Ipoh took Canny Chung and the rest of Red Land Design team mates sweat and tears for 6 months to complete; including loose furniture, marble and decorative items including curtains where we assist client sourced from Foshan, China. Mr. Ng, the owner of this semi detached house who is a retired mechanical engineer and a business owner of a screw & barrel company in Malaysia taking this house as his 'forever home'. The renovation work which marks the second project awarded to the firm. The first one was back in 2016 where both husband and wife satisfied with the outcome. This time around, we raised the bar.

Measuring 3,600 square feet, turning each interior joinery element, artistically crafted with unique marbles imported from Yunfu (formerly romanized as Wanfow), China, the semi detached house was blended with well chosen materials, laminate and interior color choice by Red Land Design, the client's second house is an astonishing domicile, certainly qualifies as mini extravagant on the interior effects. Every detail of the sprawling property has been meticulously conceived and executed.

The house was a double-storey unit developed by Taiko Properties in Bandar Seri Botani known for its township planning, built next to the largest eco park in Ipoh had us as architecture and interior design team created a refined yet relaxed character for the property. Receiving CCC in 2025, the design team lead by Canny Chung and Chris Lau started to review, altering client's mood board, understand their lifestyle to introducing warmth, texture and functional connection between spaces while retaining the original character of the house.

Transforming Nature Into Extravaganza Art

We aware marble is part of luxurious language. It is the reason our team travelled far to Yunfu, China to source the best art pieces to blend with interior design while not overrunning the budget. As client influenced by modern house from China and have frequent friends gathering in the house, we enhancing some stone panels and top with transparent lighting where owner can control the brightness and colors to suits their mood.

Start at the foyer, instead of placing a feature painting on the wall, we install a light transparent Pandora marble where it resembles tree and leaves effect to blend with side wall fluted panel which functioned as hidden door to access the light behind the stone. Overall this piece of art makes the owner and guest and elevated tone before they discover more on the next section or space of the house interior.

Limestone Wall Art By Unicraft

Red Land Design has established a long term collaboration with Unicraft. For this project, the team had crafted a double volume high wall art inspired by Ipoh natural limestone.

“Each zone offers a distinct atmosphere, while maintaining a cohesive, overall language that feels inviting, layered, and highly artistic,” Canny explains.
Achieving this sense of cohesion was a challenge—one that Red Land Design tackled primarily through a consistent material palette, tonal continuity, and carefully considered transitions between space. By using warm neutrals and natural textures, the team created a grounding, comfortable environment that feels authentically mystery and personally cool to the couple.

In the formal dining room, there is one focal point we built joinery applying special tundra blue marble backdrop with customize display cabinet cater for client to display his liquor collection makes the space feels unique and personal.

“It’s a grounded space for Mr. Ng” says Canny. “The dining room summarize what the owner wants to represent his characteristic and lifestyle through meaningful artwork in carpentry work design, with collectibles luxury spirits display and contemporary furnishings, resulting in a space that feels intimate and highly personal. There is a strong sense of warmth and permanence, achieved through thoughtful layering and careful curation.”

Luxury Master Bedroom Design

The bedroom is where every house owner comes to decompress from the world at the end of the night and where they open their eyes to seize the day. We design bed panel in dreamy texture lets the owner escape and gather their thoughts. Overall the design lets the owner float and the walk in closet makes owner want to talk to themselves while you’re getting dressed.

Entertainment Room Design

When comes to the authentic level of entertainment, one would not cut budget for the high end sound system with aesthetic ambience to match. Apart from acoustic panel solution, the side wall fluted panel with LED lights where Mr. Ng loves the one we did in one of our previous bungalow projects in Jalan Dato Khong Kam Tak

Nestled against the Menglembu hillside, on one of the last vacant lots the area had left. This three-storey bungalow architecture was designed and built from the ground up to house three generations under one roof.

Where the Jungle Breathes Into the Room

Cream sheers. Borrowed light. A living room design that doesn't compete with nature, it converses with it.

A double-volume ceiling draws the eye upward while floor-to-ceiling sheers in warm cream filter the sun into something almost ceremonial; golden at noon, meditative by dusk. The mix of cognac leather and textured burnt orange fabric isn't a compromise, it is the decision. The dove-grey sofa and the pair of lounge chairs were chosen in person during Angie Lee's bespoke furniture China sourcing trip with client back in 2025; the private tour where every piece was selected firsthand, not from a catalogue. The result here is deliberate, not default.

Quietly Considered

Not every statement needs to be loud. The stone-veined feature wall behind the dining table was chosen with the same restraint the client carries, present, but never performing.
A round green marble table, taupe velvet chairs and a circular ceiling coffer anchor the room without crowding it. The pendant lights and carpet, sourced firsthand during our China trip, were the final touches that brought the room into focus.

Some of the best details in a home aren't designed. They're discovered. The ripple of light across the ceiling was never drawn. It travels from the second living area, a happy accident that arrives differently every hour.

During the client first meeting with Angie back in 2023 with their land information, the client arrived with concept references that said everything: hotel lobbies, resort corridors, the kind of spaces that make you forget you're not on holiday. A family who travels across Southeast Asia every quarter; not just for leisure, but for inspiration.

What they brought as interior design references, we translated into residence. Vertical louvred screens define the facade, adding depth, privacy and a modern identity that holds its own against the hillside behind it.

Placed With Intention

The placement of the water feature here was deferred to the client's Feng Shui master, whose reading of the space shaped what you see, water spanning from the midpoint of the second living area all the way through to the dry kitchen, anchoring the home's five elements. At its center, a solitary olive tree rises from black pebble and stone. Unhurried. Unshowy. Exactly where it needs to be. "Smooth like water, rooted like olive."

A Space That Doesn't Try

"We love it. We decided to place them like that." That kind of quiet ownership is our love language, says Katherine, the owner who is the owner of SP Wong Tiles, one of the top tiles supplier in Ipoh, Malaysia.

Angie Lee, the interior designer returning to the house months later which she used to call as 'site', after the handover is a different feeling entirely. The vision has settled. The client's lifestyle has moved in, their habits, their rhythm and their collectibles finding their corners.

Furniture and all decor items were sourced by 佛山市红地贸易有限公司; Red Land Trading (Foshan City) Pvt Ltd in Guangdong Province, China. Find out more about building materials and furniture sourcing trip by contacting us at +6016 524 8821.

A Suite That Dresses Like Its Owner

A panelled corridor where every surface is considered and nothing is left bare. A floating timber shelf. A single pendant drop. Vertical lines that slow the pace before the tea-glass sliding doors reveal what lies beyond.

Inside, the wardrobe works like a boutique. Full-height black-framed glass on both sides. A central island with a glass display top; jewellery, accessories, the pieces collected across years of discerning taste. A vanity station at the far end where getting ready is treated as a ritual rather than a routine. The pearl globe pendant from our China sourcing trip casts a light that makes every shelf look like it was styled.

The master suite takes up the entire top floor. Separated from the activity below by the intervening levels, it functions as a distinct zone within the larger house rather than simply another room at the top of a staircase.

Simple, peaceful, elegant. The chocolate curtains set the tone the moment you enter, drawing the room into warmth without a single loud gesture. Behind the bed, a fabric accent panel softens what could have been a hard, flat wall. A deliberate choice to keep the space feeling restful, not architectural.

Where the Day Gets Processed. Where Decisions Get Made. Where Nobody Knocks

Dark porcelain from floor to ceiling; uninterrupted, unapologetic. A double vanity, one side his, one side hers, in pale veined stone that holds its own against the darkness around it. A freestanding white bathtub sits at the center like a pause in the middle of a sentence.

Beside it, an open changing niche, no door, no barrier, the kind of detail you find in the finest hotel suites and rarely in a private home. The contrast was always the point. Dark surrounds. White floats. Spacious enough to exhale, dark enough to disappear, the kind of bathroom you don't leave in a hurry.

Imagine having a space just under 700 Sqft. to spend around RM700,000.00 on achieving astonishing interior design result would be any average Malaysian home owners would not considered. Most property owner would rather purchase a larger house and spend lower ratio in renovation (property value against renovation cost), select minimalist concept or theme as the best option to achieve the objective and compromising less on unimportant areas. Chris Lau, the founder of Red Land Design shares a conceptual that in terms of balancing property value and renovation in constraint budget, having a small space with higher renovation cost would be more ideal when comes to having a quality interior. Take Artsy studio unit as a space reference where it potentially turning the space into an art form.

A philosophy that taking long journey to tap minority of a tasteful audience is always one important challenge to be achieved: influencing potential clients emphasize every corner to a high standard result instead of large space with limited budget which leads to less interesting effects.

In this studio conceptual, Chris Lau shares a classy modern oriental inspired interior; presenting a high quality design in a small space.

With customize mosaic marble tiles on the floor where we sourced from China enhancing the lounge area. Blended with luxury chandelier and unify emerald green as main interior color, the modern oriental design result pops up like an art infront of naked eyes. This concept celebrates rich texture—green silk accents and polished dark wood, and intricate gold detailing that catches the light.

Step into an oasis of refined luxury where ancient Oriental artistry meets modern sophistication. Even in one main bedroom, it combines dramatic,, high-contrast aesthetics with bespoke furniture, this design evokes the elegance of Chinese imperial luxury with a contemporary twist.

The bathroom is a masterclass in texture and balance, featuring rich, dark wood cabinetry contrasted against sleek travertine tiles and calming, earth-toned marble.

On the short walkway installed with thick wool carpet towards the balcony, we design another oriental ambience from interior to exterior. Subtle orientalism is introduced through artistically crafted Chinese wood art works as outdoor panel. On indoor panelling, clean lines walls embody Zen principles. Soft, warm, indirect lighting, including hidden LED strips, turning the interior into a mindful, luxurious ritual. This is not just your average studio; it is a serene escape for the senses.

Two semi-D houses built more than a decade ago proved the perfect opportunity for interior designer Keatson Liew to create a bold sense of classic elegance turning the shared wall space into a grand entrance connecting both units.

Inspired by classic Victorian royal concept, we define the kitchen as well ordered, exact, superbly detailed, and alive with 𝘧𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘦.

Sintered stone top with Victorian style wood craft is often being a stiff challenge for typical ID firm which practicing minimalist or modern design. Unlike Red Land Design as the firm diversification in different theme projects all these years, the complexity in beauty detail is much effortless.

A well selected striking dark green for the kitchen applied on the nyatoh wood cabinet door panel gives the owner an artistic feel above average kitchen design.

Every detail matter. For the bathroom, we should not neglect the importance on its design in reflecting the beauty of the house design theme. The fascination resulted from design to selecting the right mirror, lighting, tiles and sanitary worth the value spent on the small private space.
