Anggerik Villa: A Japandi Oasis with Tropical Grandeur
Project Palette
In the heart of Selangor, WDB's Head Designer, Mazwin, has conjured another architectural marvel—Anggerik Villa, a hillside retreat tailored to fulfill the client's dream of a luxurious haven with a panoramic view. This single-storey bungalow, spanning 1000 sqft, houses 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, envisioned to stand as a stellar Airbnb property.
Aesthetics Redefined: Coastal Vibes and Exotic Allure
Mazwin orchestrates a sensory delight by adorning the entrance with palm trees, the quintessential symbols of tropical splendor. These majestic emblems of nature not only elevate the aesthetics of the landscape but also unfold a symphony of benefits. Palm trees, known for their swift and efficient growth, transform the garden into a verdant spectacle. With their generous canopy, they offer respite from the sun's harsh rays, creating shaded sanctuaries that beckon moments of tranquil repose. Palm trees, with their sinuous fronds swaying in the breeze, evoke a perpetual sense of being seaside. Their visual appeal captivates and transports anyone entering the villa to a coastal haven. The installation of these trees not only beautifies the space but also infuses an exotic island vibe, redefining the very essence of the garden. Anggerik Villa, thus, becomes not just a residence but a retreat, a constant reminder of the allure of faraway shores.
Hedges as Sentinels of Serenity
In the architectural symphony, Mazwin introduces hedges as the unassuming yet powerful guardians of tranquility. These green sentinels, serving as the villa's 'fences,' transcend their aesthetic role to become effective noise barriers. Unlike hardscape fences that primarily offer visual privacy, the lush thickness of hedges functions as a natural buffer against internal and external clamor. The strategic choice of these verdant boundaries ensures a serene cocoon, shielding the villa from the cacophony of the outside world.
The Infinity Pool: A Serenade to Coastal Bliss
As the journey through the entrance unfolds, a curvy infinity swimming pool graces the landscape, nestled amidst the palm trees. This design choice not only provides a visual spectacle but also emanates a beachy tropical vibe. The juxtaposition of the curvaceous pool against the verdant fronds creates a captivating interplay of elements. Residents and guests alike are invited to indulge in moments of relaxation, where the ambient sound of water meets the soothing rustle of palm leaves, evoking a perpetual beachside serenade.
Japandi Harmony: Interior Elegance
Within the villa, Mazwin weaves a seamless blend of Japanese and Scandinavian design—Japandi. Cream-colored sofas, a round-curvy wood coffee table, and a custom-made TV cabinet with a white glossy laminate exude modern elegance in the living room. The space is grounded with a grey carpet for warmth and coziness. The japandi concept is further embraced with roller-blinds for the windows and a monochromatic palette of black matte doors, white porcelain tiles (800mm x 800mm), and white-painted walls.
Open Dining Serenity
At the heart of Anggerik Villa lies a dining area that transcends the ordinary, curated by the discerning eye of Mazwin, WDB's head designer. This space is not just a place for meals; it's a captivating tableau where design and nature converge, creating an enchanting experience for residents and visitors alike. Adjacent to the dining area, Mazwin introduces an architectural flourish—a sliding door that effortlessly connects the indoor space to the outdoor realm. This thoughtful addition not only bathes the dining area in natural light but also frames a breathtaking view of the surrounding landscape. Whether indulging in a morning coffee or enjoying an evening meal, the sliding door serves as a portal to an ever-changing canvas of nature. Central to this dining haven is a meticulously chosen rectangle wood table. Mazwin's selection resonates with the natural aesthetic of the surroundings, infusing the space with warmth and organic elegance. The wood grain tells a story of authenticity, inviting diners to partake in a sensory experience that goes beyond taste—an experience that embraces touch and sight. To elevate the tropical vibe, Mazwin suspends two rattan chandelier lights above the dining table. These intricate fixtures cast a warm, dappled glow, creating an ambiance reminiscent of a serene island retreat. The interplay of light and shadow adds depth to the dining experience, transforming each meal into a sensory journey. Beyond the sliding doors, the outdoor vista becomes an extension of the dining experience. The carefully landscaped surroundings play a vital role, offering a tranquil backdrop that evolves with the passing hours. Whether it's the lush greenery during the day or the subtle play of moonlight in the evening, each dining moment becomes an intimate communion with nature.
Airbnb-Optimized Kitchen
The kitchen emerges not just as a utilitarian space but as a culinary oasis meticulously crafted by Mazwin, WDB's head designer. Tailored for light cooking endeavors, this Airbnb-ready kitchen is a testament to practicality, style, and a dash of bespoke luxury. Understanding the transient nature of Airbnb stays, Mazwin conceptualized the kitchen as a space optimized for light culinary adventures. Every element serves a purpose, ensuring guests can enjoy a convenient and aesthetically pleasing cooking experience during their stay. The L-shaped base kitchen cabinet, adorned with a marble laminate worktop, is the focal point of the culinary enclave. This choice not only amplifies the visual appeal but also introduces an element of luminous luxury. The smooth, cool surface of marble becomes a canvas for culinary exploration, inviting guests to embark on gastronomic adventures. Balancing aesthetics with practicality, the base kitchen cabinet's body is crafted from durable particleboard. This choice ensures longevity and resilience, catering to the dynamic demands of an Airbnb kitchen. The subtle, unassuming nature of particleboard becomes a canvas for the vibrant energy that unfolds within. Mazwin's ingenuity extends to the design of a single wall cabinet crowned by a kitchen hood. This bespoke arrangement not only maximizes vertical space but also introduces an air of elegance to the culinary arena. The kitchen hood, a functional necessity, becomes an aesthetic statement—a marriage of form and function. Adding a burst of personality to the kitchen is the pièce de résistance—the Samsung Bespoke yellow-white color fridge. This vibrant appliance not only serves a practical purpose but also becomes a focal point, injecting a playful and inviting atmosphere into the culinary space. It's not just an appliance; it's a conversation starter. In the culinary realm of Anggerik Villa, Mazwin has curated a kitchen that transcends the ordinary—an Airbnb-ready haven where practicality meets bespoke elegance. From the luminous allure of marble to the pragmatic chic of particleboard, every element is thoughtfully woven into a culinary tapestry that invites guests to savor not just the flavors but also the aesthetics of their temporary home.
Master Bedroom: Japanese Elegance Meets Comfort
In the sanctuary of the master bedroom, Mazwin orchestrates a blend of Japanese elegance and unparalleled comfort. A king-size bed, crafted from warm wood material, stands as the focal point—a nod to the simplicity and serenity of Japanese design. This ethos extends to the white laminate wardrobe and a chic makeup table, forming a harmonious ensemble.
To enhance the comfort quotient, Mazwin introduces a luxurious touch with a dark grey fluffy rug, enveloping the bed area in plush coziness. Light color blackout curtains drape the windows, seamlessly merging practicality with aesthetic finesse. Flanking the bed, small wood side tables offer a practical perch for nightly essentials, adorned with a phone and a softly glowing table lamp.
Second Bedroom: Chic Simplicity and Spatial Illusion
The second bedroom, a haven of chic simplicity, features a queen-size bed and a half-open concept wardrobe. The clever use of glass material for the wardrobe doors imparts an illusion of spaciousness, cleverly expanding the visual dimensions of the room. White bedsheets, paired with wood-textured bed frames and wardrobe, amplify the cleanliness and coziness, creating a serene retreat. Light color blackout curtains at the windows provide both privacy and an aesthetic counterpoint.
Third Bedroom: A Celestial Canvas for Imagination
Designed as a haven for a child's dreams, the third bedroom is a whimsical canvas of imagination. A study table, a single bed, and a custom-made wall sticker depicting a vast cosmic expanse with a big moon, fluffy clouds, and friendly stars create an enchanting atmosphere. The playful addition of an astronaut adds a touch of wonder, making the room a friendly space for a child's adventures.
The bedsheet, adorned in a vibrant blue hue, infuses a boyish charm, while light-filtering roller blinds at the window add a practical touch. This room becomes a realm where creativity and dreams intertwine, fostering an environment where every bedtime story unfolds beneath the cosmic tapestry.
Spa-like Retreat: Bathrooms in Elegance
In the quiet sanctuaries of Anggerik Villa, the bathrooms transcend mere functionality, emerging as meticulously crafted spaces that weave elegance and modernity into the very fabric of daily rituals. Led by the creative vision of Mazwin, these spaces are designed to evoke a sense of tranquility, marrying form and function seamlessly. Step into the bathrooms, and the first thing that captures attention is the exquisite choice of tiles. The walls and floors are adorned with 300mm x 300mm light color tiles, creating a canvas of gentle hues that exude freshness and luminosity. This deliberate selection not only imparts a visual spaciousness but also serves as a versatile backdrop for the subsequent design elements. Mazwin introduces a touch of bespoke luxury with custom-made bathroom hanging cabinets. Designed for both aesthetics and practicality, these cabinets become elegant repositories for towels, bath essentials, and personal grooming items. Crafted with an eye for detail, these cabinets seamlessly integrate into the bathroom space, adding a layer of sophistication while enhancing functionality. At the heart of each bathroom lies the sink area, where Mazwin introduces a play of cozy modernity. A white wall-hung basin becomes a minimalist focal point, its clean lines enhancing the overall sense of sophistication. The addition of a round mirror not only serves a functional purpose but also amplifies the coziness, creating a reflection of modern elegance. The design ingenuity extends to the bathroom doors, where Mazwin opts for space-saving folding doors. This choice not only maximizes available space but also adds a touch of contemporary flair. The seamless folding mechanism enhances the fluidity of movement within the bathroom, making it a space that effortlessly combines style and functionality.
Anggerik Villa stands not only as a testament to architectural finesse but also as a harmonious fusion of cultural aesthetics and contemporary design. With its tropical allure, Japandi elegance, and meticulous attention to detail, this hillside retreat promises an unforgettable experience for guests and a haven of tranquility for its owners.
