After Designing skyscrapers in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia, It came a time for the YTL Design Group to design a residence for the Big Boss. Inviting a new, Paris-based architecture firm Jouin Manku, the project started in 2003. This was the first large scale project for the Paris-based architecture firm, designing 3000 sq meters residence that integrates architectural and interior design representing the ultimate expression of the Malaysian power family.(Click images to enlarge)
This luxury dream mansion is a residence for three generations of the family designed to accommodate public and private functions and consists of nine bedrooms, two family rooms, a family kitchen with exceptional stone kitchen carved from single piece of stone and a private dining area, a family library, a study, a game room, a public reception area, a formal dining room, a ballroom, chapel, 21 bathrooms, a swimming pool, two guest suites plus indoor private and guest parking. The design of the mansion house resembles the boring of its owners to the stacked-box houses, the dream mansion was curved, and was designed with nearly ultra modern design which form is limited only by imagination, not by “common design” of a thing.
The luxury interior represents the same passion; two fine examples are the winding staircases which resemble a sea shell when it is seen from above and a sparkling custom chandelier with 13,000 cast porcelain petals. The curved walls are not about aesthetics only, they provide privacy (you can’t see the house from its gate) and to define spaces. The modern interiors are mostly finished in natural color of white with natural touch of wood accents. There, the wood mirrors its lush, green surroundings which are invited via the house’s retractable windows.
