From the best architectural concept to the best sustainable design, this year’s winners of Malaysia’s first Tatler Homes Design Awards (THDA) include the most respected names in the architecture and design industry.
Held at the Royal Selangor Visitor’s Centre on May 31, the inaugural event celebrated the diversity and range of the local design industry across seven categories.
Sime Darby Property, KLGCC Resort, SKS, Cosentino, Royal Selangor and Lladro sponsored this year’s awards.
Here are the winners of this year’s edition whose projects struck an effective balance in pairing creative concepts with astute implementation.
BEST ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPT
A3 PROJECTS
A multigenerational family residence located on a sloping terrain, the site nestles against a picturesque forest backdrop and overlooks a valley basin within the township of Meru Valley, Ipoh. A3 Projects created a pair of houses side by side for a couple of siblings, which would serve as homes to their respective families and their ageing parents.
The house’s exteriors engage in a dialogue with their surroundings via cuboid forms juxtaposed and staggered across the slopes. While the exterior appears almost identical, the interiors are vastly different. Their names reflect this distinction—Light Box and Helical Pearl. Both represent the best in sustainable modernity, with Helical Pearl being the more experimental of the two, featuring a truly spectacular flight of stairs in its atrium.
