Laidback and cosy, this home in Petaling Jaya for a young family was designed to be sustainable
Set in the township of Tropicana Indah, this home was set in a terrace block of identical houses with varying degrees of renovation.
The couple who bought the typical double-story unit wanted their home to feel individualistic—a calm space to return to after a hectic day and a warm, loving environment to raise their young family.
As is usual with terrace houses, the existing house had issues of lack of ventilation and natural light, so to transform the house and create this haven of peace, they commissioned IDCandy.

“The overall concept was to create a dwelling filled with affection, dedicated solely to love and exuding a tranquil ambience within the city,” recalls Reina Lu, founder of IDCandy.
“We also designed the house to function as a verdant sanctuary for this young family, designed to be sustainable, eco-friendly, and have a minimal environmental impact,” continues Shawn Lu, co-founder of IDCandy.
