Interior Design Project Info

This SS2, Petaling Jaya apartment transforms a typical home into a modern Japanese-inspired retreat for a young couple. The design unfolds through spatial contrasts, from a shadowy Zen-inspired foyer with brushed cement walls and an artificial garden, to a bright, sunlit living area. The living room extends to the balcony’s edge, while a Torii gate–inspired portal connects the open kitchen and dining space, enhancing visual depth. Layeredness is achieved with an extended counter island and low window benches, recalling the chashitsu tradition.
A restrained palette of travertine, oak, textured cement, and beige linen softens the tropical light, anchored by elements like an oversized paper lamp. In the bedroom, a sunken bed on a tatami platform and granite step creates ceremonial intimacy, with indirect wardrobe and bath access. Throughout, minimalist principles, natural materials, and subtle detailing cultivate a tranquil, contemplative home rooted in Japanese aesthetics yet adapted for urban Malaysian living.
