One-storey KL house reimagined with chic courtyards, rooftop conservatory

The gabled roofless conservatory is probably the first thing you notice as you approach the row of single-storey houses. Set against a white facade, it stands in stark contrast to the nondescript link houses surrounding it, and exudes an appealing freshness.

One thing noticeably missing from the front porch is the mandatory parking space, which has been purposefully relocated to the back. That space is occupied by a small garden and a partially-walled pathway, leading us towards the main door.
