ALE House
2019 - present (On-going), Seapark, Malaysia
ALE House is a six-bedroom residential home located in Seapark, Selangor. The brief was given to tear down existing old bungalow and build a new two and a half storey house. The house is composed into a cubistic volume that lead through the house. We used timber and locally sourced sandstone to create surfaces and tectures that evoke a sense of timelessness, firmness and reference to vernacular modern contemporary building culture....
The materiality is sophisticated and elegant – burnished gold trimming, stone flooring and dark timbers delivering a rich and tactile experience. The staircase marked a subtle separation allowing the upper level to “float” freely over the lower.
ALE House meets all the needs of this vibrant family, and while the house ticks the boxes for the fundamentals of sustainable living, it also has a warmth of materiality, connection to the context that evokes a positive response from its occupants that will be enjoyed for many years to come.
