YTL RESIDENCE BY JOUIN MANKU

Paris-based Jouin Manku designed this sprawling residence of a 'power family' in Malaysia. Completed late last year, this house is the "ultimate expression of the taste, influence and industrial-scale capabilities of the prominent family whose entrepreneurial activities have shaped Kuala Lumpur’s skyline".

The house offers no clear definition of the interior and the exterior. This is made possible in part by the integration of a clear glass facade. The architecture itself is a marvelous melting-pot of both traditional and contemporary design elements.

And how can I miss out mentioning that kitchen work top? It's a god-send!
