Residential remodelling
A new chapter for your home.
Reconsidering an existing home can open up a different way of living. Begin with what is there, what matters to keep, and what needs to change.
Discuss your project
A home with
its own starting point.
Remodelling and rebuilding are different decisions. One works with an existing building; the other replaces it. Understanding the structure, the site and the intended use is part of deciding which approach is appropriate.
Ampang Hilir introduces new levels and shared volumes within a terrace-house setting. Bukit Gasing is a semi-detached rebuild, making room for a home and studio. They offer two distinct examples of how a residential brief can change over time.
02
Compare the possibilities
Consider adaptation and rebuilding in relation to the brief and the condition of the property.
03
Agree the scope
Clarify the design appointment and the involvement of other professionals before moving forward.

The thinking, in practice.
Is remodelling the same as rebuilding?
No. Remodelling changes an existing building; rebuilding replaces it. The project descriptions distinguish these approaches.
Can you assess whether my home should be remodelled?
Send the location, photographs, available drawings and your goals to begin a discussion. A specific recommendation depends on understanding the property.
Does the design service include a construction package?
Design and construction responsibilities should be agreed explicitly for each appointment. Contact the studio to discuss what your project requires.
