LOCATION: Tampin, Negeri Sembilan
CLIENT: Encik Chen Yu Man
DESCRIPTION: A contemporary bungalow in Tampin, Negeri Sembilan, designed for En. Chen Yu Man, with a concealed central courtyard as its defining feature. From the exterior, the courtyard remains largely hidden, preserving a sense of privacy and giving little indication of the open green space within.
Once inside, the courtyard is gradually revealed as an element of surprise, forming a private sanctuary at the heart of the residence. It introduces natural light, ventilation and greenery into the surrounding spaces while strengthening the visual connection between different parts of the home. This contrast between a more enclosed exterior and an unexpectedly open interior creates a more intimate and memorable living experience, with the courtyard becoming both the social and visual heart of the bungalow.
