House With Its Own Garden View | Terrace Home Transformation | Sustainable Architecture Ideas

Welcome to DESIGN SEED!

Step inside a stunning terrace house transformation in Damansara, Malaysia — a home that turns inward to create a private green sanctuary. In this episode, we explore how an architect reimagined a 30-year-old terrace house into the Introverted House — a modern tropical courtyard home designed to embrace light, air, and nature.

Once dark and congested, the home is now filled with daylight and lush greenery. The design features an inward-facing layout that ensures ultimate privacy while maintaining a strong connection to nature. At the heart of the home lies an indoor garden courtyard that naturally cools the interiors, offering a tranquil retreat in the middle of the city.

The transformation incorporates double and even triple-volume spaces, allowing daylight to pour in and creating a sense of openness uncommon in terrace homes. Cleverly angled windows, slot openings, and skylights draw light deep into the interior while maintaining privacy from neighbouring houses. Passive design strategies, tailored for Malaysia’s tropical climate, reduce heat buildup and encourage natural ventilation throughout the home.

This renovation is a perfect example of how modern tropical architecture and sustainable design principles can breathe new life into an old terrace house. Every detail is designed to elevate the quality of life for its occupants.
