TRANSFORMASI RUMAH KAMPUNG—
Azizi Anuar dan isterinya berkongsi pada Mei 2021 hasil makeover rumah kampung papan milik mereka sekeluarga yang berjaya diberi nafas baru, sesuai dengan cita rasa kontemporari orang muda.
“First time try deco. Rumah kampung je,” tulisnya.
PART I
THE “PPR-TO-PENTHOUSE” BLUEPRINT—
Just collected keys to your 24 m² studio? Since you own the place, stop thinking “small.” You’ve seen the viral PPR transformations. If they can make a public flat look like a 5-star hotel, you can do even better!
TUKANG PUTAR ALAM—
In Indonesia, they hire master craftsmen who actually know the trade. In Malaysia, we’re often paying premium prices for undocumented workers who are basically learning on the job at our expense.
Ikut nasiblah.
Kalau dapat tukang yang berkualiti, syukur.
HERO MODE: ON—
An Iron Man–themed workstation sounds childish, until you sit down and realise it’s about control, focus, and intent.
SUN, PALM, AND TROPICS—
A palm tree at the gate, a baby-blue door, and suddenly the city slows down. This two-storey home opens like a holiday postcard, warm air drifting in before you even step inside.
JAPANESE ART OF SMALL LIVING—
How small can a space be and still feel generous? This Japanese studio is designed for one, yet filled with light—sliding doors, multiple windows, and white curtains that soften the day.
BEAUTY IN EVERY BLOCK—
Breeze blocks from the 70s offer privacy without closing off space. They let air and sunlight flow, keeping areas bright, airy, and comfortable. And they are low-cost, versatile, and easy to install.

POST-WAR VINTAGE BEAUTY—
The Avenel Cooperative Housing Project, built in 1948 by architect Gregory Ain in Silver Lake, is a unique mix of modern design and social ideals. It was created for ten families, many of them World War II veterans.
MINIMALIST LIVING—
In a sunlit 60 m² apartment, a minimalist home of comfort and flow comes to life. Open layouts, thoughtful organisation, and a continuous concrete bench anchors the main wall, offering display space for cherished objects and extra seating.
WORK, LIVE, GROW—
In a tropical landscape rich with sun and rain, Ga.o House stands as a gentle fusion of home and workspace. Designed to breathe, it balances daily life with an honest commitment to nature and sustainability.
BREWING COMMUNITY—
Opening a café in a quaint neighbourhood is like planting a gentle heartbeat in the street. Each morning sunbeam illuminates warm wood, soft light, and familiar faces stepping inside.

ELEGANCE IN SMALL SPACES—
In a small apartment, an aesthetic kitchen begins with colour. Soft neutrals, gentle wood tones, and subtle accents let light flow freely, making every corner feel open and calm.
THE ART OF LIVING SMALL—
Small kitchens don’t have to feel cramped. The secret? Light, flow, and restraint.
Start with colour: whites, soft greys, or pale sage reflect light and make the space feel larger. Open shelving keeps it airy but only if you curate it.
DESA vs KOTA—
Kampung Calm to Urban Grace
In the village, the kitchen breathes with the earth. Sunlight spills through wooden shutters, and every breeze carries a whisper of herbs drying by the window.
In the city, light comes from sleek pendants and glass walls.
LET WALLS BREATHE—
Why Wallpaper Doesn’t Belong in Wet Kitchens
I can’t stress this enough: wallpaper doesn’t belong in bathrooms or kitchens.
Wallpaper on bathroom floor tiles can be dangerously slippery, and wallpaper on a kitchen backsplash invites mould and health hazards.
SUNLIGHT & SIMPLICITY—
PART 1
White walls, black leather, brown accents. Sunlight pours in from a wide window, glancing off the desk and climbing wall near the ventilation-block wall. A student’s room that makes simplicity feel chic.

THE ART OF SOLITARY LIVING—
PART 1
Nothing beats the moment you close the door behind you and silence greets you like an old friend. No need to explain, no need to perform. Just you, your thoughts, and the peace that only solitude can offer.

INDUSTRIAL, BUT HOME—
His home is all raw concrete walls and one big open living room, where the smell of coffee lingers, plants bring calm, and his kids’ laughter turns industrial design into something warm and alive.
It’s industrial by design, but human at heart.

COMPACT & CHIC—
A home that stretches 4.5 x 23 meters proves you don’t need excess to live elegantly. Just smart design and unapologetic style.
Think of it as haute couture architecture: slim, refined, and tailored to perfection.
