Home to partners in work and life, this pre-war terrace house in Penang with a modern Interior is a culmination of their shared passion for design
Partners in work and life, interior designers Chuah Say Yang and Chong Su Min transformed a pre-war terrace house in the heart of Georgetown Penang into a sleek light-filled home combing both their styles.
Chuah, the founder of design firm NEVERMORE and Chong, founder of Xcent Design Consultancy, looked at this "project" as a collaboration between their companies – built by Nevermore and styled by Xcent Design Consultancy.
Both based in Penang, the couple were drawn to this 2650 sq ft pre-war terrace house on Irrawaddy Road because of its strategic location. Despite its bare and run-down state, being both professional interior designers, they could see the endless possibilities of what could be done to the space.
The narrow 2-storey property was afflicted with the problem most terrace houses face: the lack of natural light. The solution was solved by gutting out most of the house's original interior, implementing an open concept, and introducing skylights to allow light to penetrate the space.
