This sleek, tropical modern home in Kedah by Spaceplay Studio was inspired by its lush surroundings
Located in a charming neighbourhood in Alor Setar, Kedah, surrounded by open land and lush paddy fields, this home is in a suburb still in its early stages of development. A three-story semi-detached house of approximately 3,500 sq ft, apart from the usual living spaces, it also boasted three balconies.
To transform the home into a space that suited its inhabitants’ needs, the clients called on Spaceplay Studio, an interior design firm with offices in Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya.

“This project has a story that feels like fate. It all started when we were introduced to this family through a mutual friend who wanted something home that resonated with their vibe and aspirations,” recalls Caryn Tan, founder and managing director of Spaceplay Studio
From their first meeting, the designers were inspired by the lush surroundings and the property's untapped potential. “We envisioned a ground floor buzzing with life, an additional bedroom for their growing needs, and balconies transformed into personal retreats,” muses Tan.
