Lack of ventilation and natural lighting is a problem that continues to affect many homes, as was the case for this home located in Kuching, Sarawak, despite having a generous built-up area of approximately 3,000 square feet spread out over a double-storey semi-detached house.
“The original space lacked a sense of harmony and functionality, leaving it feeling cramped, dark and disorganised. Furniture was randomly placed without consideration for traffic flow or functional zones,” recalls Joyce Wong, founder and lead designer of J Hous Studio.
“The overall brightness was also subpar due to inadequate natural light and improper lighting choices.”
