WHO LIVES HERE

A couple, their two adult sons, and a Cocker Spaniel.

HOME A detached house with a large garden in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia

SIZE 5,500 sq ft

The spacious master bedroom has a study and TV area.

Pantone Colour Institute chose Greenery as 2017’s Colour of the Year to reflect the year’s “growing desire to reconnect with nature and what is real.” Indeed, there is nothing more soothing for the senses and soul than nature’s bounty. This verdant enclave in a mature Petaling Jaya suburb is blessed with an abundance of it. Located in a serene cul de sac, this large 5,500 sq ft house, with its equally large garden, played a key role in inspiring designer Raymond Lee of Xceptional Interiors.

Tom Dixon armchairs and an abstract painting create an interesting juxtaposition.

“The garden is one of the major attractions in this house, as it is most generous in size. As the lot is almost at the edge of the street, it provides the quietest and most peaceful space for my clients. The house was not overbuilt in relation to the land size. The garden was one of the key inspirations and provided me with the base idea to develop the interior decor and styling in this project,” Raymond explains.

The elegant master bedroom features tactile textures and luxurious fabrics.
