When the owners of the Concrete Jungle House had their single-storey terrace redesigned in 2019, little did they anticipate how apt it would be during the pandemic lockdown and stay-home periods.

Located in the Taman Tun Dr Ismail neighbourhood in Kuala Lumpur, their old house was transformed into a two-and-a-half-storey abode, tripling its build-up to 3,600sq ft (334sq m).
