Elmina 18 is a 130 square meter private residence in the city of Elmina, a new township in Subang, Selangor. The client was a young couple and their brief was pretty simple; Minimalist, white color & wood texture and create some 'Muji' sense within a tight renovation budget. Rising up to this challenge, KLO+ initiated the project by looking for cheaper wood finish alternatives. As the wood is one of the most key elements in this design. A big window nook was designed that allows the view outside shines through like an enormous piece of wall art to feed the soul. The spaces between the dining & kitchen area kept transparent, pushing the boundaries of how open and extroverted a kitchen can be, while still maintaining practicality. The project creating openness and freedom that is a more youthful lifestyle.
