Kokun House Terrace Transformation | How Architecture Transform a Home | Malaysia House Tour

WELCOME TO DESIGN SEED!

In today's episode on Design Seed, we will be revealing a transformation of a 2 storey terrace house, Kokun House designed by Paperspace.

The exterior architecture highlights an exquisite detail, with an architectural façade shaped with a combination of linear outlines and organic curves.

It is clearly relatable to the given name by the architect, The Cocoon, as though the home is enveloped around by an organic form made out of concrete.

Thank you for watching!

this channel is so relatable to most malaysians as most of us are staying in 2 storey terrace houses. yes, i agree, developer should incorporate skylight in new terrace houses to bring in natural light, esp for intermediate units.

What a beautiful couple and such wonderful design. Malaysia seems to be on the leading edge of innovative design and architecture in the tropics.

love the skylight and stairs area. glad the original stairs were kept because it’s such a character gem! a lot of thoughtful design details too. best regards to the family and their beautiful home.

[janutellet]

Passed by this house countless times! Always been fascinated by the exterior. Glad to see some original features of the house are preserved, they did a great job.

I'm really enjoying watching small houses on how the Architect solve their requirement rather than big houses

Absolutely lovely design, what a transformation.

I really love the incorporation of natural light. However, it's equally important to ensure that the light doesn't raise the temperature inside the house. I appreciate architects who take into account the tropical climate when designing houses because direct sunlight can be extremely hot in Malaysia.

Although some of the design wasn't for me especially the grasscrete (when it is new it is amazing but nightmare come to maintenance, think how you trim the grass and weeds removal) and how the aircon being "box" in there (it's not going to be maintenance friendly when it come to cleaning). For me, it is always about maintenance, how easy it can be maintain to retain as good as new.

Having said that, I can tell the whole house design/taste fit perfectly for the family owner.

More such old/mature double storey terrace house transformation videos will be good (more applicable to majority instead super rich)

This design has a lot of elements I have always loved, including the type of plants, the frangipani, furniture, tiles, especially the indoor "courtyard" with the skylight and louvres, which I still think every Msian house should hv because of our heat, as in the house many grew up in. I learned a lot.

[glamoorlife]

Really, brilliant remodeling house ever!

[firdausf]

What a lovely home! Congrats to the happy couple!

[hartinihalim]

I love the transformation. Answering to your question, the challenges that we are facing especially intermediate terrace house is the natural lighting & airiness of the space.. developers please consider these points into your upcoming development 🫰

[zangzang]
