Urban Garden House | Inside an Ultra open Biophilic home transformed from a 40-year-old house

WELCOME TO DESIGN SEED!

When we were passing through this quiet neighbourhood along Old Klang Road, we were captivated by the exterior of this intriguing green facade corner house.

In today’s episode on Design Seed, we will be sharing the story behind this 40-year-old property that was transformed from a single-storey corner house to a stunning biophilic home.

Just when we decided to turn around to get a closer look, the gates opened and there he was, Sebastian the owner was right about to bring his fine-looking dog for a walk.

Would you consider yourself a naturalist, or adventurous enough to live in such a habitat?

Thank you for watching!

A masterclass in tropical design: large overhangs to create shade, keep the sun off the openings, allow breezes to flow through the home, using plants to create cool and shade… When you don’t have an air conditioned box, you allow the body to adjust to the atmosphere around it and to get outside and explore. Design for the climate you live in😊.

This show and channel has some of the best production quality on Youtube .. Not just in Design and Architecture space.. wow

[tobias-hastings]

Amazing work from Oscar, CY, and their team. The home looks and feel so open, yet has everything that it needs.

Design Seed, Subscribed because your videos are so much fun!

[natep]

Of all the houses i've seen so far on this channel, this is by far my favourite. Amazing design!

[paerhueilee-]

love oscar's commitment to bring nature into the house, which empower the house with the energy from Nature.

[Iendleasereit]

Yay! More tropical architectural designs. I love the tropical content. And yes I heard of Oscar - his house is one of the nicest house I came across

[justaghorl]

another gorgeous house! you guys need a website where we can browse through photos of these gorgeous houses and all references to the designers are linked so we can check out their other stuff too. just a thought

[VisionCarrierDreamCatcher]

This is responsive architecture beatifully executed. Energy efficient from what I see. Built for a bachelor perhaps and expresses his style convincingly. By the way video production qualitybis top notch, instant subscribe. Would love to swipe ideas for a project in Mombasa.

Design Seed, is it possible for you to share with us houses that are designed and made for old people / wheelchaired residents? thanks! I think a lot of architects/designers are doing a great job when it comes to the aesthetic aspect in a tropic house, yet not many consider about a house that accommodates the final stage of life. A beautiful and functional abode for old people will be inspiring to watch.

I like seeing someone thinking outside the box as in this home. It's a piece of artwork. Really cool home.

[kjbon]

I am always impressed with the design and architecture work. I am curious about the security aspect of the house. Can you shed some light in the current and future projects? Looking forward to more content!

[marwanmahmud]

I love this kind of design.. But a bit worried about safety against intruders.. U know Malaysian homes is well known with installing iron grills..

Any thoughts on home security?

[radeuro]

this is one of the best architectural design i have seen.

[camillemoreal]

it is such a great work im amazed ! do you guys work outside of Asia ? Like Europe ?

[claudiagonzalez]

Amazing. 💜 Art. This channel is amazing and my top favorites.

[VincentTurner]

great tour & shooting.. bit of feedback guys, watch the levels on the background music.. makes it hard to focus on the tranquility of the design / house with the music up so loud .. also hard to concentrate on the overdubbed voices too

[shuixianleong]

Love to see more single story houses change to double story ❤

[BC-edxc]

Very nice design. But without grills, may not be so safe in malaysia.

I love this channel I get ideas who I should ask for my future home take note home not just a house 🤫 so I like to have a modern but still it has earth touch with plants and more lights in my future home can't wait to build my own home
