In Petaling Jaya's competitive residential market, this home renovation by Houz Design cuts through the noise. Rather than following Malaysia's typical maximalist trend, the project pursues restraint—proving that less can genuinely be more when executed with precision.
A Study in Contrasts
The design hinges on material juxtaposition. A monolithic black marble island commands the kitchen, its dark veining offset by seamless white cabinetry that climbs to the ceiling. No handles, no hardware interruptions—just clean geometry and concealed storage. It's a kitchen that functions like a commercial prep space but reads like sculpture.
Fluted timber panels in the living areas provide textural relief. These vertical elements aren't merely decorative—they create acoustic depth and visual movement, pulling the eye upward to amplify ceiling height. Against cool marble floors, the oak introduces necessary warmth.
Light as Material
Strategic lighting transforms perception throughout. Backlit circular mirrors in both bathrooms create soft halos that flatter and expand space simultaneously. Cove lighting washes walls with ambient glow, erasing harsh shadows. In the master bedroom, minimalist pendants cast warm pools of light, turning functional fixtures into focal points.
The charcoal ribbed wall in the sleeping zone deserves mention—it's a bold move that pays off. While the rest of the home prioritizes lightness, this dark envelope signals transition. You're entering a different mode here.
The Japanese Influence
Timber slat flooring in the shower areas nods to Japanese onsen culture. Beyond aesthetics, it's practical—the spacing allows drainage while providing grip. Brass hardware adds vintage refinement without feeling dated, a difficult balance to strike.
Twin marble vanities anchor the master bath. The material quality is evident in the vein matching—sheets are book-matched so patterns mirror across surfaces. These details matter. They're what separate competent work from exceptional execution.
Built to Last
Houz Design made choices for 2035, not just 2025. Oak that will patina gracefully. Marble that improves with age. Matte black fixtures that won't look trendy in three years. It's an increasingly rare approach in an industry chasing Instagram likes.
What results is a home that respects how people actually live—spaces that support morning routines, evening unwinding, weekend cooking. Architecture in service of daily life, done exceptionally well.
