FOREWORD
To Keatson Liew, Project Manager at Red Land Design®, this project is more than simply completing a house—it is about turning a vision into a place that feels truly personal. From the first conversation to the final detail, every decision was made with the homeowner’s lifestyle, personality, and aspirations in mind. Behind the finished spaces is a journey of coordination, problem-solving, patience, and countless small decisions that often go unseen. Keatson’s role was to bring different ideas, people, and craftsmanship together, making sure the original vision remained alive throughout the process. The result is not just a beautifully designed home, but a space that tells the story of the people who live in it—and the team who helped bring that story to life.

A clash of colour preferences marked the catalyst for one of Red Land Design most nuanced residential projects—an Upper East Condominium where bold gestures and understated elegance meet in classic New York style measure.
There is a well-documented art to designing small homes. Making meaningful use of every square inch of any compact space requires resourcefulness and inventiveness. But truly transforming a small space into an elegant sanctuary—where the confines of walls and classic blueprints are rendered almost irrelevant—requires a designer to cleverly disrupt the conventions of what a home is supposed to look like.
“Where we would thunk a New York style apartment in Ipoh?” Without a specific budget boundaries, the owner wants to bring another world to a conservative neighbourhood. The quality was not just about the workmanship where typical clients are expecting (𝒘𝒂𝒃𝒊 𝒔𝒂𝒃𝒊 still an alien philosophy to majority localist), it is about ambience that artistically designed and tastefully built.
Completed dream home for this 1,200 sqft. condo in Ipoh, the interior design filled with classy and classic elements; including loose furniture and decor where each detail matter. Even the control switches are tastefully selected and sourced from 佛山市红地贸易有限公司 where Red Land Design project team often bringing clients to Foshan, China for building materials and furniture sourcing trip.
Average consumers unable to justify Smeg, an Italian brand appliances price over Asian made products. It is not just technical solution aspects, we guide our clients along the way to develop their own acquire taste that blends and represent their characteristics through the space. This is what customization is all about.
Customization is all about creating something to suits the individual. As the understanding and objective are clear, the outcome will be something different. One of the focal point of this project where photo collection during travelling that turns out to be a very personal items which artistically displayed.
The cumulative effect is a home that feels much special than average neighbors standard unit, where the interior design full with Instagrammable element in every corner. Ultimately, the condominium interior work is heavily influenced by European home, creating an unconventional apartment than about proposing a different understanding of architecture and interior design. And adapt the house certainly does for its owner. As the designer notes, it’s changed the entire way the client experiences her home.
As no budget being set for this project, the total value of the renovation cost almost the same as the condominium value. The bathroom makeover is not spare too; where entire tiles and sanitary were removed. Jubin Cantik supplies all tiles to Red Land Design, with sanitary mainly from Grohe , we had created a bold colour for the bathroom.
Also special thanks to Ipoh Fresh Flower on supplying their fresh flowers during the project handover.
For a client that values both art and wellness, a perfect color combination with natural lights inside the master bedroom indicatication of real balance between both world.
"Don't underestimate how we can transform a laundry area into interesting room with quality design element", says Chris Lau. Applying black cabinet with classic gold chrome handle, contrast with white subway wall tiles and solid acacia raintree wood table top, the overall outcome create an astonishing result in a less important space. The design concept carries from existing kitchen and bring into the laundry for consistency.

Warm wool upon the chair, cool stone upon the floor, less is enough, and there, peace inside the door
Japandi design style has been covering in Instagram, Pinterest and all over social media interior design feeds for years, and it does not show any signs of decreasing in popularity as more young generations favor the concept. One of the developers in Ipoh, Dasar Afdal Sdn. Bhd. Reflects a shared vision with our Project Directors, Elaine Woo to create a showhouse interior that is timeless, refined, and thoughtfully designed according to the theme which blends with market demand.
Red Land Design team not emphasizing the showhouse just for sake of showcase. Elaine Woo leading the team to create a home that reflected the life she aspire to; calm, functional, and elevated which practical for family routines, but inspiring for young working owner. The vision was about balance: ‘Japandi’ paired with international nuances, resulting in a sophisticated space.
Natural wood grain, earthy materials, neutral color palettes, as well as uncluttered spaces accented with functional objects are the key elements while Elaine and design team crafting the space concept of the double storey terrace house located in Simpang Pulai, Ipoh. Natural light, too, is prioritized, often employed in an artistic, almost Vermeer-like way. “Furnishings and objects are kept to a minimum,” says Elaine. “A certain thing was made for a certain job, there is a strong sense of appropriateness, of order, and of place. Japandi designs come from a close relationship with nature and were decided by the combining of materials, techniques, and usage.” A Japandi interior looks, and feels, honest.
Once stepping into the room, the home owner enters a calm serene world. This is a real experience where Japanese wabi-sabi simplicity meets Scandinavian functional warmth.
Another formula to bring calm to the Japandi space with the ultimate classy rest platform; featuring clean lines, cold stone texture blends with earthy oak grain, and a zen-inspired aesthetic that bridges Japanese minimalism with Scandinavian comfort. The mirror as usual to enhance the small space.
This Japandi showhouse in Malaysia showcases loose furniture and decorative items sourced from Foshan, China where the division is run by team mate Elsa Pan who based in Guangdong province under 佛山市红地贸易有限公司 to assist in sourcing, quality check and shipment matter.

Designed for modern Malaysian living, this show unit by Elaine features soft neutral tones, organic wood textures, and clutter-free spaces that turn any house into a peaceful sanctuary. From the light oak accents to the serene, light-filled living areas, every corner is crafted for mindful, cozy living.
By layering natural timber tones, textured lime-wash walls, and low-profile bespoke furniture, Elaine and Red Land Design team created a space that feels both highly elevated and deeply restorative.

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.
