This project in Kempas Utama showcases a sophisticated approach to modern minimalism, where clean, geometric design provides the perfect backdrop for the client’s unique personal collections. The design emphasizes symmetry, seamless transitions, and a cool, calming palette, proving that minimalist design can be deeply personal.
Exterior Facade: Geometric Simplicity
The home’s exterior façade speaks of modern minimalism, emphasizing symmetry, clean lines, and geometric proportions. The boxy balcony and recessed elements are evident in the volumetric simplicity of the structure. The use of glass railings contributes to an open-air aesthetic and improves visual continuity, significantly enhancing the curb appeal.
Foyer: The Art of the Reveal
The moment one enters the house, the journey of surprise begins. The custom-made display cabinet becomes the immediate focal point, transforming the owner’s hobby collections—from iconic pop culture figures to intricate models—into an exhibition-style gallery wall. The dark tone and matte finishes of the cabinet, integrated with subtle lighting, exude sophistication and personal touch. This dark, dramatic element immediately captivates, while the open-plan transition between the foyer and living area promotes visual openness, clearly demarcating the functional zones.
Living & Dining: Cool and Calming Palette
The main social spaces are dominated by a neutral gray palette featuring soft tones of white, stone gray, and charcoal, creating a cool and calming mood perfect for both relaxing and entertaining. A cohesive tonal consistency across the furniture, flooring, curtains, and ceiling creates the illusion of a wider, expansive, and unified space. Cove lighting frames are used to add dimension and provide ambient brightness, reinforcing the modern aesthetic.
The subtle and stylish floating TV console keeps the wall clean and uncluttered. Crucially, a glass display on the left side continues the narrative begun in the foyer, showcasing more of the owner’s personality. Tactile contrast is introduced with a stone-textured dining table and upholstered chairs, which nonetheless blend seamlessly into the overall palette. A large wall mirror in the dining area offers visual expansion and reflects light, adding a luxurious touch.
Kitchen: Maturity and Comfort
Maturity and comfort in daily living are reflected in the kitchen design, where the color selection holds to the same cohesive tonal strategy. A dark-shade island is centrally located to ease movement and act as an active transitional space for cooking preparation. A durable black sinter worktop was chosen for its elegance and ability to reflect personality. A brilliant recessed ceiling light serves as a practical yet minimalist centerpiece. A glass display cabinet equipped with LED lighting showcases the strength of restraint in design, where form meets function to visualize a timeless modern living experience.
Upstairs Hall: Entertainment Hub
The upstairs family hall is designed for inviting comfort, featuring a huge white wall and a light-colored sofa to enhance the sense of scale. The wall smartly doubles as a movie screen or an entertainment surface for the family. A settee by the window provides additional seating for larger family gatherings, enhancing the storytelling and connectivity of the space.
