From its striking double-skin brick fa\u00e7ade and naturally cooler interiors to layered lighting, floating details and carefully framed views, every design decision serves a purpose.<\/p>\n<p>Join us as we walk through the home with the designer himself, revealing the stories, challenges and hidden ideas behind one of the most innovative terrace house designs we&#8217;ve featured.<\/p>\n<p>Designed by the design technologist, Suffian Shahabuddin from 6IX Design Office for his own family, this home explores how a terrace house renovation in Malaysia can feel open, breathable, and modern, without increasing its physical footprint. At the heart of the design is a reintroduced and expanded lightwell, transforming the once dark and compartmentalised interior into a light-filled, courtyard-like home.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re not subscribed to us yet, click on the subscribe button and support us in our pursuit of intriguing design and architecture stories.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for watching!<br \/>\nJoin our membership: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCaipqYFk8bhIs1Gyqmm_Yxg\/join<\/p>\n<p>#HouseTour #InteriorDesign #Architecture #HomeDesign #ModernHouse #TerraceHouse #HouseDesign #HomeTour #HomeRenovation #ModernTropical #MalaysianArchitecture #DesignSeed<\/p>\n<p>__<\/p>\n<p>FOR BUSINESS INQUIRIES:<br \/>\ninquiry@thedesignseed.co<\/p>\n<p>__<br \/>\n\u200c<br \/>\nTHE DESIGN FIRM:<br \/>\n6IX Design Office<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.6ixdo.com\/<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/6ixdo\/?hl=en<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/suburbiaprojects.com\/products\/6IX-APPEAL-TO-READ-BETWEEN-THE-SHEETS-p573290444<\/p>\n<p>__<\/p>\n<p>FOLLOW US:<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.facebook.com\/designseedstudio<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/designseedstudio<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@alexlee_designseed\" data-unique-id=\"alexlee_designseed\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" data-embed-type=\"creator\" style=\"max-width:780px; min-width:288px;\">\n<section> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@alexlee_designseed?refer=creator_embed\">@alexlee_designseed<\/a> <\/section>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\nXHS: https:\/\/shorturl.at\/5J5EB<br \/>\nCheck out our website: https:\/\/thedesignseed.co\/<\/p>\n<p>THE HOST:<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/alex_lee_28\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to DESIGN SEED!
