HIJAUAN HOUSE



Project description from the architects : Hijauan is a house in the city of Kuala Lumpur.  Situated on a small plot in a mature residential development, we took the Malay term “Hijau” meaning “green” as our design directive.  Our aim was to avoid cutting a single tree on site.  As such, the house notches its way around the existing greenery, especially the two majestic 50 year old mango trees along the side boundary.
