The Architecture

The rear of the house is the main architecture gem. The beautiful building facade with small garden facing Menglembu and Ipoh view is where the owner's family and guest would spend most of the time during evening for a chill session.  

The wet kitchen at the back was fully demolished. In the meantime, the master bedroom on the first floor including its balcony has been modified and extended from original structure. 

The Interior

Stepping in from the rear is the spacious living room where the we incorporate the existing house column with decor display section.   
We always design and customize wall panel in a unique way. In the living area, back panel behind the sofa (where we sourced from Foshan, China) has been integrated with artistic element into it to match with the loose furniture color.

Sitting pride and relax with her family on Saturday evening in her new home while our photographer doing photo shooting, Esther the homeowner asks Chris Lau, the project key person and also the founder of Red Land Design®; “just for curiosity, where you get inspiration from while designing our new house?” Chris answers cheekily “from your husband, Peter”.

How it started

The team had numerous meetings since 2022, covering every angle, each dimension is crucial. From exterior design to interior ambience and materials apply on all area finishes were being reviewed multiple times with many options and resources from local Malaysia as well as from our resourcing company in China, 佛山市红地贸易有限公司.
When the client invites friends and relatives to this newly handover project, they were surprised, wondering if the property owner had occupied extra vacant land to make the house larger than before, but it was built on the same land size following city council (Majlis Bandaraya Ipoh) regulations and approvals. Such impressive result that served the homeowner requirements with astonishing outcome are something where our firm always proud of.

The double storey Ipoh house constructed with 8,670 Sqft. with concrete slab on the roof top to place solar panels and air conditioner compressors unit.

The modern house architecture designed by maximizing both exterior and interior space. One of the major challenges for the exterior was car porch space for the owner car collection; nine in total.
Our architect together with designer and engineer had to reinforce the flat concrete slab, especially facing the front area to reduce the numbers of columns while preserving the beautiful design.
The glass supply and install here in this project was 5mm+5mm thick double glaze tempered glass for more solidness, sound insulation and heat resistance. 
The bungalow on residential land located at Jalan Dato Khong Kam Tak was originally built in the late 80s was demolished in 2020. Our firm started to plan and design the architecture and house interior before start construction after MCO regulations loosen after pandemic.

The Interior

"We turn the wall paneling design into state of the art; filled with groove line, lighting with curvy edge to enhance the exclusiveness for the house interior" 
Apart from that, the wall panels also integrated with hidden door to few rooms including here to the powder room.
One of the bedrooms been painted in a rich cola hue . Match with a commissioned modern art as the focal point of the bedroom to match with other well selected imported decorative items.  “The play and scale is just so fun,” says Chris who also assisting client in sourcing materials from China.
The kitchen with signature design from Red Land Design cater for the housewife's needs. The signature kitchen design was swapped for one with white calacatta marble stone countertops and backsplash. I love mixing materials like plaster and minimal light wood highlight to create an elevated yet comfortable space,” Esther acknowledges, “and the goal was to make the home interior truly reflect how I live now: functional, layered, and full of personality.”
One of the highlights of this house interior where we install a starry wall & ceiling flute panel at the staircase side; from wall connects until the ceiling to create a sense of spatial hierarchy.
Step inside to an entertainment room from a hidden panel door flush with wall panel at the living area, here where we bring cinematic experience to a space filled with modern acoustic panels to enhance the sound experience.
For visitors, this home is a complete joy to behold—much like the couple's persona. But for the houseowner, it goes much deeper than that. “My home is a true reflection of who I am, both as an office furniture manufacturer / entrepreneur and as a person: it’s modern, layered, and deeply personal.”

Having transitioned from a nearby residence to a sizeable property in Upland I, the homeowners turned to Red Land Design to reinvigorate their new ‘forever home’. A warm, expansive palette of earth tones sets a sense serene foundation, celebrating the next chapter of their lives. While the natural stone accents — from the marble dining table to the bar island top and dry kitchen surfaces — bring refined elegance to the forefront.

Though retaining the previously installed dark solid wood flooring may not be the prevailing trend in modern living, it provides a rich foundation that grounds the home. The interplay between the deep-toned flooring and soft earthy finishes enhances both warmth and sophistication, achieving a timeless balance of effortless living and understated elegance.

Angie Lee, a celebrated figure in Red Land Design once again brought magic into her project. This double volume living space features a stone art craft TV wall where we award the artisan work from Unicraft to enhance the earthy minimalism result.

The true reward of this project lay in the homeowners’ trust in our expertise, giving due importance to the details we curated and shaped together from concept to completion.

 

In the dining room sits a white marble table by special selected from Antico Stone; it was the first object from the interior appears ever made from this particular stone.

For the master bedroom, we create a warm ambience through lighting and soft textures in wood laminate to envelop the senses in a feeling of comfort and producing a sense of calm. This space not only invites our client to pause and reconnect with themselves, it also acts as a physical reminder of the importance of dedicating moments for rest and self-care during their daily routine.

   

For Angie, one of the reasons why hyggekrog corner is a must for every bedroom, particularly in master bedroom is the sense of control they offer. In psychology studies,  our body and mind are our own temple, and your home is the place where you recharge yourself physically and mentally. It’s where you go to disconnect from the world. It’s a space to relax, to be yourself. It makes sense that we should make the effort to create an environment that encourages a sense of well-being and comfort. It’s taking care of where we spend some of our most vulnerable hours.

Angie where she also runs her own Instagram account @angielee_la  started to become influenced by the aesthetic throughout the journey of creating this house interior.

Some lush, theatrical materiality is perhaps one of the most defining characteristic, communicated by an array of astonishingly beautiful and textured marble. “The materials were chosen to speak in a harmonious but varied language,” says Angie Lee, who suggested this highlight for the master bedroom entrance full height divider.

We wanted these interiors to feel serene, a respite from 24/7 hubbub outside, which important to our client when living in an industrious style.

Chic, understated and admired the world over, Scandi style interiors make a case for utilitarian design and functional spaces.

Flute panel design on the guest room access incorporate with laundry cabinet in clean lines, fine craftsmanship, and timeless feel principal that informed so much in this house modern interiors.

Functional layouts, neutral palettes, less-is-more aesthetics and wood tones made up the kitchen design.

Architecturally, Scandi homes veer towards clean lines and simplicity and the base colour palette is usually neutral or in a muted tone.

In this one of the bedrooms, interior designer employs another Scandi style which blends with coral color in a clean, elegant and modern sensibility.

A very unique design with practicality where the wardrobe structure covers the closet accessories with folding door panels where the owner given flexi adjustment and adding on each storage compartments anytime they want.
