Using local materials and craftsmen, this house by Ground Up (Design + Build) exudes a sense of timelessness
The term 'forever home' carries a lot of weight. The task of designing one is understandably laden with expectations, as a 'forever home' needs to evolve with the needs of its residents and feature a style that doesn't date.
This was a task for Ground Up (Design + Build), an interior design firm that had been approached to design a home for a young family. The two-storey terrace house was a bare unit located in Elmina 8, a new development in Shah Alam.
The homeowners were a young couple with a two-year-old daughter who had found the designer’s profile online.
“We wanted to expand our residential portfolio and quickly clicked with the clients. They gave us a lot of trust with design and execution, and the final product looks almost identical to our original concept proposal, which is quite rare,” recalls Megan.
