A proposal for Bukit Jelutong banglo’s landscape after understanding site contacts from previous project. Balinese Style is proposed to complement existing banglo’s façade and curvilinear is chosen as design approach, enhancing free form and continuity of nature.

Balinese style seek harmony with nature . They are strongly influence by Javanese and Hinduism. Sophisticated stone carvings, decorative tropical plants, human-size statues ,gateways and water feature are significance.

An imaginary project for RUEMZ hotel, proposing a chalet at given site.

Basic understanding of site contacts and collecting measurements are required.

The designed chalet are presented through series of technical drawings in presentation style.

Proposed trees surrounding the chalet to create an urban oasis and for screening purpose.

The Rue Cabin's entrance is designed to face Taylor's lake.
