Joe & Veron's home ideas



Joe & me recently bought a new home in Bandar Puteri Puchong. Trained as architects, Joe & me felt that it was a possibility for us to realised our dreams, only to realised that the limitation was not imagination and creativity but $$$. Now we finally realised why our lecturer said 'in drawing, every line has a meaning'. Every line = $$$. Working with a limited budget, we explore different texture and materiality to create tactile spaces. The conceptual development of the space where derived from several broad ideas: the idea of traditional living space, the idea of raw and brutalist architecture, and the idea of spatial definition through different spatial volumes.


It's been 2 1/2 weeks into our new home renovation. These are some pix as sneak preview to what our house will become. Will post new pix once the house is up and running! We will have a blast!
