Heart By Tree Villa House

Heart By Tree

Heart by Tree is a villa house located in Gunung Pulai, Malaysia. The villa is formed by four building blocks arranged around a central courtyard. Lawn and willow plants cover the bedroom roofs and improve heat insulation. Two tall ancestral trees were transplanted onto the site as a token of gratitude to the owner. Zinc and fiber form the chassis of the lawn roof, suited to the hot climate. Ceramic tiles, granite and glass discarded by factories were reused in the decoration. The layout follows the traditional courtyard house concept.

Heart By Tree Villa House by Summer Chang Hin Cheong was featured as an exceptional representation of architectural design by the A' Design Award. Heart By Tree Villa House received the Bronze A' Design Award in Architecture, Building and Structure Design in 2020. The A' Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award is a highly prestigious international design accolade which recognizes excellent design of skyscrapers, museums, residential buildings, commercial complexes, educational institutions, religious structures, infrastructure designs, landscaping projects and more.
