The Planter Box House | Malaysia’s Extraordinary Homes | Award Winning Architecture | Transformation 

I'd counter argue that. Conservatism, especially amongst the prominent, is quickly dying. Younger individuals these days don't conform to a way of life, and have explored the world, opening their eyes to things such as liberalism and freedom of expression. I actually see more terrace houses being bought up and redesigned in a contemporary and unique way. This is the future of landscape in Malaysia, especially amongst the prominent areas and it is very exciting indeed. I would love to see townships where each terrace house had an architect run through and totally redesigned the house. Can you imagine what wild designs will start popping up. Exciting!

They have the opportunity to match this and sell for higher, I guess.

The windows were build on the front and back side of the houses ,and the sunshine enter from here ,so I think It may not have so much shadow and bad impact..I don't know,it is just a thinking from the video

@@footytube9500 yes this would be amazing and I too would look forward to these new houses. But a question to ask is whether these collection of houses, each completely creative but different to each other will complement each other.

Yes it will disintegrate because the tree will break the foundation. Trees like chicu . Especially chicu will grow big .and pomelo still have roots it will crack the walls!!

I absolutely hate the houses that lacked this customised simple home for people who looked for a change of pace in this country. I want a large garden, farmland, underground storages and star viewing roof. I want a good home that are independent with it's own eco friendly energy sufficient that able to stand on itself off grid land. I dislike conjoined houses, narrow spaces, generals noises, lacked of green and noisy neighbours.

@@wanderingghost7324 same. And the worst is that when you bring these things up in conversation people will think you want "atas" or "rich" lifestyle. These things are basically not worth much, but they have been removed from homes here so long that these are seen as "premium" things to have in a house now. Ridiculous

@@adkan1995 That's because the general people haven't been exposed to the ideas of a simple home that built for a long term project. A good home is the home that can survive on itself, like earth intergrated houses aka hobbit like. I loves simple home that are careful planned and intergrated with the earth. When you built homes or design a city that will last for hundreds of years, you had to have this kind of mentality. The houses can be reselled in the future for the future generations. The houses had to have a room for improvement. I'm been thinking long term is very good instead of houses that will be rotted, abandoned and lacked the natural ambience that allowed for self sufficient. If more people aware of this, people will change their narrowed minds into a more creative way of living. People shouldn't judge others for this and instead work together to build our own homes. The houses had to work together with each other to created a superior way of houses that able to accommodate the creative sides of the owner. Together the world united.

@@wanderingghost7324 fully agreed, couldn't have said it better.

@@wanderingghost7324 wow, you want a large garden, a farmland..? This place is called Bangsar, virtually a part of the City of Kuala Lumpur. This is like other cities - Jakarta, Tokyo, London , NY. This is the house within half hour to City centre! Ever see large garden or farms within the mentioned cities? You want large garden, get one within 3 hour drive away, plenty of space to build your farmhouse there.

Me too

Having good intention is great, but we still need to consider other things. People may don't want to move in, your project may be overruned by plants and mosquitos...like this building in China. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ChNePPmzKSU.html

I still think you need to consider the passing on component as whoever ends up with it will have a real headache on their hands and to think otherwise is selfish.

Truly the mindset of someone special .Those who pioneers and bring about real change .

@@splint3048 no, to insist that homes are built for other future people instead of for the people actually living in the houses is selfish.

It's actually converting a 2 storey house to a 3 storey only. Based on section shown. The rooftop doesn't considered as another floor. Some PBT allows that, depends on the area. That have to refer to respective PBT.

@@bboyfake93 , I agree. It's a matter of maximising the space they are allowed to build on. I don't think there is an issue of bribing authority here.

It is 3 stories.

Which part in section not allowed extension to 4 or 5 storey on 2 storey house? Can you clarify it, tq

BRIBE ONLY SETTLE.....pity the beside block neighbors i would move out ASAp

and where is the other bedroom?

@@amalinanadiah3661 from the video one on the first floor and another bedroom on 2nd floor..based on the sketch. Not sure about the kitchen..

It is old teak laboratory benches from a tech school in Yangon

Just install an elevator.

That’s not very nice if I may say so.

Roza Light DBKL, the authority allowed such project???? Disgusting and selfish !!!!!

Pruning and removal

I'm sure there would be people who would buy it but it seems illogical to build such a big home with only one bedroom. A family will never live in that home.

Good question. I also wonder if the armed concrete will survive global warming as metal expands quicker than concrete. I hope so.

It's in Malaysia, water is free as it rain almost every other day and there are no earthquakes. The mosquitoes are a problem wherever you are in Malaysia, but if they let the geckos and the spiders live together with them that will reduce the mosquitoes somewhat.

@@syasyaishavingfun gecko shit too annoying tho.. 🥴

No problem with insects. The geckos and fish take care of things. The rainwater tanks provide nearly all the water year round. The plants weigh very little. A few tremors from earthquakes in Sumatra. KL is very fortunate in terms of tectonics.

Yes, insects are big problems in many countries because they can trasmit Chaga disease, dengue, chikungunya...many countries expend a lot of money on fighting these diseases. I think houses shouldn't have "garden" on every floor (in fact, this big house with many floor is not good for old people and disable people... if you want a house for living there till you die you need to remember that you are going to get old and ill). I think people should think more about being elder. Rich people can buy elevator, cleaners, chefs...but most people on Earth aren't rich. I think people should buy houses that: -have a proper size (= to avoid dirty space, to avoid space that isn't used, to avoid buying another house because the family became bigger etc) -have no floor (= better for old people, paraplejic people etc) -have a proper space for vegetals (=It avoids redundancy and It gives vegetals the respect they deserve).

No mosquitos sorry to disappoint, but plenty of bugs in the planters. Busy doing what nature intended.

Roza Light DBKL, the authority allowed such project???? Disgusting and selfish !!!!!

Goodluck future Architect

Yes agree...great house but I think in Malaysia’s one only needs to pay the council or local authorities some coffee money and they will approve the planning..

@@sheldonsworld8853 i dont mind the design, maybe a tad too tall.

since nobody is going to buy the neighbour, you can get the neighbours property cheaply and also build your own experimental architecturally designed house. this is actually the future of terrace houses in and around the city centre. As more and more prominent, wealthy and young at heart individuals take over. Especially those who have gone overseas to work and live for a few years and looking to return to Malaysia as an early retirement destination. These type of people aren't necessarily looking for a big bungalow and prefer to purchase a quaint smaller house in the Klang Valley and use the funds instead to build their own unique home of their own to retire and live in.

@@footytube9500 lol

Agree 👍

When he climbed up that tree trunk (steps for longhouses) to check the banana plant, I was like, "Gosh, what if he gets vertigo up there?" I mean, yeah, they're not very young. If they were my parents, I would always get nervous for them. I love the house though, for myself.

Pre fitted to instal a lift when older. Rock climbing was my passion but you are right will need safety harness soon but am training some youngsters to take over.

Thank you choon! Cheers

Same here, have been very curious

It is good to be different, as long as you add value, or beauty, but not in this case, I am sure the neighbors find it hard to market their property.

The other houses in the neighbourhood aren’t exactly aesthetically pleasing. If they were, then this house would have stuck out like a sore thumb as you described it.

@@arnie3631 😁😁 I thought I was too direct ....

Haters going to hate, you can also up the game

@@RserBot2 even in other country, they have regulation regarding this kind of thing. you can't even paint without getting permission from the council.

@@gruzit2622 since it was approved by local municipal, who are the neighbours to complain? Unless they file a petition to tear down the unit haha...

@@RserBot2lol, are you the owner? How would you know it have been approved?

@@carolwong4425 It would be illegal and would call for unwarranted attention to feature an illegally constructed building in the heart of one of the most prime suburbs in Malaysia.. It's just logical that it would have been approved. Otherwise the owner would need to call for a demolisher before new years

I dont mind it actually. If you travel overseas, especially to European or western countries, you can see that each house is individual, custom built and uniquely designed. There's no conformity and people are free to express themselves through the property that they have built. Malaysia is quickly changing. Gone are the days of being conservative and timid, especially when it comes to designing your own home. And I actually see this as the future of terrace houses in and around the KL city centre. As more and more prominent, wealthy and young at heart individuals take over. Especially those who have gone overseas to work and live for a few years and looking to return to Malaysia as an early retirement destination. These type of people aren't necessarily looking for a big bungalow and prefer to purchase a quaint smaller house in the Klang Valley and use the funds instead to build their own unique home of their own to retire and live in.

Only Angmo can do whatever they want even in your backyard... you try to do the same in their European or north american neighbourhood?

they should be thrown out of Malaysia.... period...

@@qqsxza so angry. Lol

Strictly design-wise, I have no issue - it was inspiring. However, I saw a lot of red flag in regard with compliance with current Municipal Law. Please refer: psasir.upm.edu.my/id/eprint/78451/1/FRSB%202018%2019%20IR.pdf Any idea how the house immediately left and right of the house are affected when there are heavy rain? and how about blocking natural aeration coming from left and right?

Can you explain why? I'm not familiar with factors that affect house pricing, would appreciate your explanation haha

@@TheBTada Imaagine being the neighbour on the right. You get NO SUN AT ALL. Who the f*** wants to buy that house? Unless he builds a taller house.. Very inconsiderate owners

I don't think the price gonna drop just becuz of the neighbors. It's about the place...overtime the price will go up, not down and only rich people will buy it and you know what most rich people do? Renovate to their own liking 🤷🏻‍♀

Hi Alex,how long did you take to complete the whole renovation pls.Anyway can i know,do you accept work out of K.L ( other state in Malaysia?Tq

Probably not. If you listen carefully the house is built using bubble deck.

Oh ye of little faith!

I was surprised to see it was allowed - it must be oppressive to live next to them in almost total shade. I would have felt bad to build my happiness whilst oppressing my neighbours. Bad karma LOL. Awesome home, wrong place.

Planning allows the addition of an extra floor. There is a good reason for it in cities where space is at a premium. As for the comment on money, it hardly deserves a reply. Just ill will in my view.

In malaysia enforcement is very lacking. You could get away with lots of things.

@@chiisana0sekai that's why it's called Bolehland... Malaysia Boleh, semua boleh

Disgusting ... where is the council ?? Corrupted !!!!!

@@rozalight7240 be careful with your insinuations.

Love your comic!

Yes

yah i was thinking about the same, wonderful house for the owner, nightmare for the neighbour

Ang moh ma

True..wonder if council would entertain to clean up the mess every week, they should cover those extra fees add to annual premium..

Yes they totally block the sunlight from the neighbors at different points of the day. Not to mention resale would be affected. So disharmonious.

How do they get approval for the extra floors?

Quite the opposite they love it.

Don’t worry the lift space is pre arranged. 3 day fit on order.

And bangtum is to fall up 😋

The trees are selected for size and can be replaced

😁✌🏾

And have your house dark like a prison lol

Pipes.

Me too. I have individual tittle landed house. The taman is not called taman anymore when everyone renovate their house with their own style.

Roza Light DBKL, the authority allowed such project???? Disgusting and selfish !!!!!

We weren’t the first.

It conformed to the planning regulations entirely.

Roza Light DBKL, the authority allowed such project???? Disgusting and selfish !!!!!

Yes they did. Same answer to both points

Cool and airy. Electric bill less than 15$ US a month.

Disgusting....selfish owner. Where is the authority (DBKL)???? Corrupted
