the project dubbed ‘the lines’ is designed to be an urban living dream in the heart of mutiara damansara, offering unparalleled convenience and connectivity. it envisions a place that combines modern city vibes with the serenity of nature, promoting sustainable living for people of all ages.
situated in the now closed-off e-curve complex, the redevelopment covers 3.87 acres. its proximity to the MRT station allows for a 1:8 plot ratio, providing ample design space for the development to thrive.
the development aims to create a sustainable 10-minute city where everything required for residents’ sustenance is accessible within walking distance. the amenities provided have been carefully curated to ensure accessibility for people of all ages and abilities, including the disabled.
the development is divided into two components: commercial and residential. these two macro components provide seclusion for the residents through thoughtful design while paying homage to the late e-curve. the commercial areas will offer a range of services, shops, and dining options to meet daily needs, while the residential areas will focus on providing a safe, comfortable, and inclusive living environment.
this design strategy not only fosters a sense of community but also maintains a connection to the area’s history and character.

the experiential gallery, being the lines’ sales gallery, is located adjacent to the main site. cccupying two of the curve’s shop units, its design is more focused on the interior, offering potential buyers a unique experience akin to an art gallery, rather than the open plan typical of most sales galleries.
this approach allows visitors to embark on an immersive journey through the development, providing them with a deeper understanding and connection to the project’s vision and offerings.
the interior layout and design elements are meticulously crafted to engage and inspire, showcasing the project’s features and benefits in a compelling and memorable way.
due to space constraints, the showcasing of units and facilities requires thoughtful design. as a result, the ten unit models are mounted on three separate walls, including a curved wall. this innovative approach allows the gallery to maintain an open and unobstructed floor space.
the gallery features an interactive table that enables buyers to explore their unit choices in detail. additionally, there is an immersive area bounded by a curved wall display, reminiscent of a movie theater, which showcases marketing materials and future development plans.
this setup not only maximizes the use of available space but also enhances the visitors’ overall journey and experience by providing a dynamic and engaging environment.

the 33 units of shop offices are an integral part of the overall mutiara hills township development in semenyih. located prominently along jalan broga and nestled just under the foot of broga hills, the development is designed to be a tropical yet modern shop office complex, harmoniously blending with its surroundings while standing out as a subtle landmark in the area.
drawing inspiration from modern mediterranean style, the design merges the indoor and outdoor environments. it captures the essence of classic mediterranean design with a contemporary twist, featuring relaxed neutrals, clean lines, minimalistic elements, and classic white. the space emphasizes spaciousness, rustic pieces, simple shapes, concrete, and geometric forms, combined with natural materials to create a timeless and sophisticated look.
