Production Technology

Despite the trend of modular design, we highlight the spirit of craftsmanship in this project. The making of the kitchen's island was a big challenge. We used the local Nyatoh solid wood to create natural touch and performed extensive experiments to achieve the anticipated thickness of the countertop without losing its strength and waterproof properties. We truly believe that beauty exists in every single process and appreciate the elegant ornamentation which brings the spaces to life.

Design Challenge

There were several challenges in renovating the unit. Given its location by the seaside, we chose authentic natural materials which required delicate treatment. Our main concern was the Nyatoh solid wood. Since we planned to use solid wood for both the panels and the ceiling, we needed to make sure that the solid wood in use was handled properly and under strict moisture control. A moisture level from 6 to 8 percent is acceptable to the interior wooden furniture and products.

Project Duration

The project started in November 2016 in Penang and finished in July 2017 in Penang, Malaysia.

Operation Flow

The entrance of the apartment opens to a magnificent sea view, creating a spacious feeling. The appearance of natural woodgrain brings warmth to the interior, displaying the essence of Balinese design. Cement ventilation blocks are used to define the connection between spaces and create a sense of privacy before accessing the first floor. The full-height timber louvers blur the boundaries between rooms and demonstrate exceptional craftsmanship at every corner.

Research

This Bali-style waterside apartment integrates natural elements with craftsmanship. The Nyatoh solid wood as the main interior material is a perfect match with Balinese furniture. The chamfered wooden ceiling displays a tropical ambiance while the cement vent blocks offer a sense of openness between each space. The master bedroom has a simple wooden bed decorated with exquisite planks and floral ornaments, creating beautiful harmony of nature and space. Every single craft is telling a story.

Inspiration

Wherever there are water and timber, there is a joy to be found too. I drew inspiration for Rouge in Wood from natural scenes, ones in which trees flourish and water flows freely.
