A jewel box home with a whimsical touch
Nestled in a suburban corner of Selangor, this bungalow underwent a stunning transformation by A Design Atelier, catering to a family in the beauty industry. Encompassing a generous 11,156 square feet, the home was meticulously crafted to provide an eclectic haven for the family and their guests, fostering an atmosphere conducive to socialising and leisure.
The standout feature, affectionately dubbed the “jewel box,” is characterised by perforated cladding that enhances ventilation and casts a captivating, sparkling effect as the sun sets, establishing the bungalow as a distinctive landmark visible from afar.
