Supernormal Studio combines tasteful minimalism with touches of whimsy in this spacious residence in Johor
This sophisticated residence is situated in the exclusive township of Horizon Hills in Johor, Malaysia. The setting was ideal as it allowed the design team, Supernormal Studio, to explore the distinction between internal and external spaces fully.
Zi Wei Wong, co-founder of Supernormal, shares that he was attracted to the project precisely because of “the openness of the existing house where all the floors enjoy a panoramic view of the adjacent golf course”.
Supernormal Studio transformed the original 3-storey corner bungalow by adding a 1,000 sq ft extension, bringing the total built-up area to 7,500 sq ft.
