THE HOME Rustic Industrial atChahna Different contrasting elements blend very well together at this house designed with love. Text by Mimi Ezura Esa Photos courtesy of Seshan Design The main living area opens up wide to let the breeze in TM | JULY/AUGUST 2020 22
The koi pond adds a relaxed vibe to the house When one talks about rustic industrial design, images of raw and exposed finishes, natural materials like wood and metal and the juxtaposition of old and new come to mind. The structural elements revealed in this style creates a harmonious and complementing contrast to the sleek and modern furniture and finishes. This design concept brings the traditional and non-traditional details together into quirky yet functional living spaces. This is exactly what the Seshan Design project team had successfully brought into realisation with this house in Petaling Jaya, which the owners chose to call “Chahna” (meaning “love” in Sanskrit). The rustic industrial language is clearly exhibited right from the exterior down to the interior. The 6,070sqft built-up is home to Captain Lee and Corrina plus their four children. Their previous house was built with the Tropical Balinese Resort look, so for their new house, they wanted something different and went into the direction of the currently popular raw/industrial look with fair faced concrete and brick wall elements. Interestingly, the clients (Captain Lee in particular) also had an affinity for all things retro and vintage. When the Seshan Team was commissioned to the project, the house was already complete structurally, thus the team had to re-visit the design of all the spaces, adjust some walls here and there, redo the entire electrical and lighting layouts, redesign all the bathrooms, and also propose additional elements such as railings, screens, panelling, custom lights and other architectural devices. The design process very much involved the client and the design team sharing spontaneous design ideas they happen to come across and thought would become a priceless addition to the house. The exterior of the house presents a steel framed structure, clad with stained cement boards that really look like actual corten steel. Combined with the fair faced concrete and brick walls, this gives the exterior of the house a rich composition of raw and natural materials. The main and side gates exude Art Deco elements inspired from the movie The Great Gatsby, where symmetrical intricate lines break the monolithic outlook of the “ziggurat” perimeter walls. 23 JULY/AUGUST 2020 | TM
