The house we are going to show you today is perfect for a small family. It is located in the suburbs and boasts of a contemporary design. Though small in size the house is not low on features and amenities. What’s more, many of its features can be easily replicated to any modern building anywhere in the world, including in Malaysia.

Konan house façade

Konan house is a contemporary single family residence with a timeless charm. Though its design, the architect created a bridge between the past and the present. It is located in a busy suburb. In fact, its geographical location is not of much importance at all. You could easily build a house like this in the outskirts of Johor Bahru, Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh or George Town.

The house is built with its own garage which is stands on one side of the building. You can enter the through the front door after crossing though a small porch. The design of the façade is minimal. All white exterior has been accentuated with wooden deck and exposed beams.

Small patio

The small patio cum wooden deck is a charming place to sit down and relax for a while. It is directly accessible from the living room which stands on the other side of the sliding doors. Except for a stylish reclining chair, no other furniture clutters the space. One can enjoy an uninhibited view of the surroundings from this spot.

Living room

The living room of Konan house is the very embodiment of simple design. However, it does not lack in charm or comfort. Hardwood flooring and partition introduce a warm hue in the interiors. No, you don't need to build walls to divide the different areas of your home. You may easily use these sneaky ways of dividing spaces without walls.  

Instead of plush sofas and upholstered chairs, the family has chosen a simple wooden bench with cosy cushions as a seating arrangement. A rectangular coffee table is placed in front of it. This simple arrangement of furniture gives the open plan living room a rather spacious feel.

Kid’s dressing room and stairs

The kid’s dressing room complete with a pretty little vanity unit is located on the opposite side of the room. This space can be accessed by a wooden stairway. Another flight of stairs takes one to the attic area.

Kid’s room

The kid’s room is located on the second floor level. It is spacious and devoid of any excesses which gives it an even more expansive feel. Like the lower floor level, it is designed with hardwood flooring. Built in wardrobes take away the storage related concerns. A plush area rug has been placed in the middle room.

Thanks largely to the glass paned windows and skylight installations, the room receives ample amount of sunlight. Stylish pendant lighting and ceiling mounted focus lighting fixtures keep the space bright in the evening. Apart from a portable dollhouse kitchen, the space is decorated with potted plants.

Dining room and kitchen

The open plan kitchen and dining room occupies one side of the living room. Though the kitchen is small, it is fashionably designed with ceramic tiles and wood clad storage units. A wooden partition stands between the kitchen table and the dining room area. The dining room is decorated with a spacious dining table and four comfortable chairs. Classy wood furniture gives the entire room a very elegant look.

Exterior of the house from a different angle

This is a view of the house from the roadside. The lush green scenery gives the contemporary cottage a pretty setting. Very slim and vertical windows and steeped pitched roofing are two features that set it apart from the traditional buildings of the neighbourhood. You can also see the full view of the spacious garage from this point.
