T House's secret gardens blur the line between outdoors and indoors

With black gable roofs and louvred shutters against a white facade, the T House stands out quite prominently amid the other houses in its vicinity. But beyond aesthetics, it is what lies within the structures that makes the house unique.

Owned by architect Datuk Tung Mun Kiat, the 544sq m bungalow is located in a gated community in Sri Petaling, Kuala Lumpur. Tung bought the North-South facing unit – which is almost 30 years old – six years ago. Tung and his family moved in two years ago after a year of renovation work, expanding it from its original 384sq m space.
