Something else I love to do – scour magazine shelves for ID mags/ books and DREAM!

Here’s something I found in this fantastic magazine:

“OMG”!

That’s the only thing I managed to utter when I saw this article in the mag version.

Slight error though -  in the mag it was mentioned that the owners enjoy “sweeping views of the Malaysian landscape”.

IMAGINE my sense of pride when I thought this was in Malaysia!

A homeowner who’s 110% responsible when it comes to sustainable energy, conserving rain water, reducing carbon footprint!

After further reading, I realized this is actually in Phuket but BY a MALAYSIAN architect firm (Serena proud again ;)

Let me take you on a tour ;P

Paradise bathroom: Although I’d make this a little more open, who can complain right? LOVE the walls. Sorry I’m partial – I have the same walls ;P

Walkway: More concrete, mixes surprisingly well with green don’t you agree? Love the old school window panes too. Reminds me of my childhood home in Tawau… Fond memories of opening and shutting windows and getting yelled at by mom for being a rascal.
