In the suburban development of Eco Ardence, roughly 25 kilometres west of Kuala Lumpur, a standard developer bungalow has been pared down to the basics. The 3,175-square-foot house, redesigned by Deacon Loi of The Grid Studio (.co), started with enclosed rooms, basic finishes, and little natural light.
The clients, a young family, found Loi’s work online. They were drawn to his studio’s ability to balance refined detailing with what he calls “raw, grounded materiality. They wanted spaces that felt calming and grounded, qualities that would recede into the background during daily life. View how The Grid Studio used micro-cement and crafted stone to do precisely that.
