With a focus on simplicity, natural elements and comfort, this new double-storey terrace home in Shah Alam, Selangor has been transformed into a welcoming abode, thanks to a clever design aesthetic by interior design company, FRAL Design Studio.

The company is more well known for their commercial and retail works featuring truth-to-materials concepts such as exposed concrete, raw materials and natural grain work (think Gasket Alley in Petaling Jaya). According to the co-founders of FRAL Design Studio, Ayu Lamien and Faiz Rosli, this home is a polished version of their style.
