Courtyard House 39
Courtyard House 39 is the interior design of a three storey semi-terrace house in Penang, Malaysia, with a built area of about 250 square meters. The ground floor was reorganized through partial demolition and rebuilding to create an open plan, a light well, an additional bedroom and a functional kitchen. Placed openings and vent blocks support natural cross ventilation, while a skylight brings changing daylight into a shared leisure corner. Timber, red bricks and concrete are the main materials. A pocket garden links the dining area with the outdoors.
Courtyard House 39 Semi Terrace by Qian Ling Lee was identified as an exceptional illustration of architectural design by the A' Design Awards. Courtyard House 39 Semi Terrace was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2022. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is a juried, academic and highly prestigious design accolade which celebrates excellent design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
