Nordic Nest

Fresh and fun, turquoise is applied to convey different moods in this young family’s home.

Famed for its commitment to providing an idyllic environment for raising families, Setia Eco Glades is a sprawling integrated green residential-cum-commercial township in Cyber Jaya. Located in one of the apartment blocks in this growing community is a Scandinavian style apartment imbued with liberal amounts of turquoise. The relatively standard apartment with a built-up area of approximately 1,414 sqf is home to a young couple and their new baby, and was designed by Triangle Design Studio to specifically suit the tastes and requirement of the clients.

“I was introduced to the client through my associate partner, Nick Tan from Pocket Square. We met the client on site and tried to understand her requirements such as her daily lifestyle, her hobbies, how many people would be staying there, and so on. Before starting the design process, it Is always important to understand client’s requirements, as they’ll live here an average 5-10 years. This is part of their lives,” says Enzo Foh, Triangle Design Studio’s Chief Executive Designer. “We were attracted to this project because the client as they gave us the flexibility of proposing various concepts, and it worked well in the end, and the project was successfully delivered.”

While Triangle Design Studio have become known for being specialists of the trendy Scandinavian style, this project also explores other themes. “We were very much inspired by the cultural diversity and the nature found in Setia Eco Glades. We don’t see ourselves as Scandinavian designers; we are more interested in comparing ourselves on the regional scene and designing things that people from all over can find interesting,” says Foh.
