Luxe Interiors has designed a sanctuary where sustainable materials meet exquisite craftsmanship in a lush Selangor golf park
In a quiet corner of Selangor, Malaysia, bordered by the landscape of a golf park, stands a four-storey modern-classic bungalow designed with purpose by LNL and interiors by Luxe Interiors. The structure presents a thoughtfully arranged family domain where precise design choices serve daily life.
“We approached this project as an exercise in responsive architecture,” says Veanne Chong, design director of Luxe Interiors. “Each room anticipates its inhabitants’ needs rather than dictating how they should live.”

Visitors are greeted by a commanding double-volume foyer featuring detailed wainscoting and strategically placed mirrors. This initial impression yields to spaces that facilitate connection rather than formality.
The ground floor presents a study in purposeful design. A shoe room finished in Luna Grey marble provides organised storage, while the adjacent altar room offers a contemplative environment with variable-height cabinetry in sintered stone.

“Religious practice required specific architectural solutions,” explains Chong. “The altar room’s graduated cabinets distinguish ancestor veneration from deity worship — a subtle but essential distinction that honours the family’s traditions.”
The central 1,275-square-foot area integrates piano space, dining zone and dry kitchen. An Italian Rugiano dining set provides a focal point, complemented by a substantial island that transforms the kitchen into both workshop and social centre.

“The kitchen island serves multiple functions,” Chong notes.
“It’s where baking happens, but also where morning conversations occur. We selected recycled sintered stone for the surface — practical for food preparation but also aligned with the family’s environmental values.”

The transition to formal living spaces occurs through an architrave featuring four rotatable panels.
Beyond lies the living area with views across the Sukabumi-tiled pool to the surrounding greenery. A discrete wine and tea station bridges these zones, housing temperature-controlled storage.

A wet kitchen, separated by double swing doors, addresses practical cooking requirements with dual Fujioh range hoods that manage cooking emissions while preserving the home’s open configuration.
“Asian culinary traditions generate intense flavours and occasional smoke,” says Chong. “We engineered ventilation that manages these realities without compromising air quality.”

The first floor, accessible by stairs or lift, begins with a gallery of family photographs that leads to individualised bedrooms.
Each child’s space responds to specific interests: an erasable drawing wall for the artistically inclined eldest son, pink-toned storage for the youngest daughter’s doll collection, organised compartments in green and orange for the eldest daughter, and programmable RGB lighting with Iron Man motifs for the technology-focused second son.

“We rejected standard children’s rooms in favour of personalised environments,” Chong observes. “These spaces acknowledge who they are now while accommodating who they’ll become.”

“Successful residential design isn’t about aesthetics divorced from function,” reflects Chong.
“This residence works because it responds authentically to this specific family’s patterns and preferences. The beauty emerges from that responsiveness rather than from imposed architectural statements.”
