Contemporary Oasis
YTL Design Group from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, invited Paris-based Agence Jouin Manku to design the residence of a Malaysian power family (beyond power family).
This home, sweet home, is the ultimate expression of the influence, modern, taste and industrial-scale capabilities.
Three generations of the prominant family inhabit the 3,000 square-meter residence, the “theme-park” includes nine bedrooms, two family rooms, a family kitchen and a private dining area, a family library, a game room, a study, a public reception area, a formal dining room, a ballroom, chapel, 21 bathrooms, a swimming pool, two guest suites plus indoor private and guest parking.
Elegant circular softness manages to permeate the sightlines and key details of the building. Inside, prominent examples of this curvilinear elegance, and the round ballroom chandelier of 13,000 custom-designed undulating petals of unglazed cast porcelain biscuit. What about the stone table?
Seriously? WTF! I love contemporary homes, but this baby can’t be considered a home.
Mr. YTL, where can I leave my resume?
I’m on my way, I’m on my way
Home sweet home, tonight tonight
Beautiful architecture and design. Gotta get a home like this!
Fabulous design, if you ever get one, don’t forget about us
Wow. Such opulence, such exquisite architecture, and you describe it so well, but where’s the warmth and comfort of a real HOME? Everything looks so sterile, so rigid, so cold…it’s missing love. And some cats. Same difference. =^.^=
You kind of said it for me. And I wonder what I would look like walking around there in my underwear looking for my socks.
Definitely a cat. Beatiful building but wouldn’t you always feel as if there was someone else in the place. Like security maybe. Or someone at a desk.
I cannot “like” this enough!! Almost enough to make me want to go back into interior design…
LOL..
I know, it makes me kinda sad, how much do I got work to build something like that? A LOT
What a great home
True, awesome place!
Thanks for the reblog
Impressive !!
Hey Mathias, how have you been?
Stop already… this is unbelievable. Who can combine so many genius ideas and make them cohesive in one beautiful design? YTL please sign me on… I have much to learn.
YTL please.. sign ussss
Maybe theres something wrong with me but i think it´s to much of everything. The outside design of the house looks like something from an old star trek movie “time to dock cpt”.
I like the pool tho.
It’s all about taste, there’s nothing wrong with you, just not your type.
The pool is universal. LOL
Maybe I’m weird but I think it’s kind of ugly…
Weird? not at all, as I said before, this home isn’t for you, I’m sure you’ll find the perfect one
This house is incredible! I really like the kitchen counter, such a creative and funny idea.
I’m crazy about the kitchen counter, very clever!
Thanks for the ‘like’ guys. I am currently drooling over your blog, it’s amazing. Cheers xx
Hey Jenny,
Thank you so much for you re-vist
Cheers
I wanna live here. That is beautiful man! I wouldn’t even have to go to the beach i could just imagine it.
If you move in, let us know. I could use one of the suites. lol
Amazing, I love everything about this house!
That’s a dream house.. love it
One word describes this: “Amazing”.
If only I could construct something this beautiful.
amazing it is
That wooden spiral staircase is amazing!!
Thank you for sharing it!
Glad you liked it! Thx a lot for visiting us!
Too fancy to be commented on!
True, I might just delete the comments. lol
Wow! That staircase (and everything else) is astonishing. I know what you mean about this not being a “home,” though. That said, it does help you to see beyond the conventional. Thanks so much for sharing this!
Hello.. thank you so much for coming over
I actually just wanted to say thank you for your ‘like’ of my Card Project at Art Rat Cafe – but seeing this article I must add – remember the Palaces of Versailles and Fontainebleau in France – remember the French revolution and why it happened – do the math!
As an artist I appreciate the architecture but as a human living in the economic mess of the world today I can’t help thinking how many homeless folks this extravagance could house!
You`ve got a point there, I completely agree with you, but in the other side it is an incredible architecture that must be shared with everyone, right?
Oooh Baby… this is awesome. This is what you call “living large” yet it’s cozy in it’s own way. Thanks for sharing.
Hello Debbie,
I’m sure it is, I could be a happy maid living there. LOL
i am simply in awe of this project. its the wood stairs. (drool…)
Wood stairs is unbelievable.. escalators? forget about that
Very nice….
Hey Ernest,
Thank You so much
love it ! very modern and phenomenal
Thank you
WOw… I’d hate to be the cleaning staff!
me too.. lol
A masterpiece of design. Stunning! I’d be very interested to see how the social interaction works out for the three generations living here.
Me too, I bet it’s not as pretty as their architecture. lol
Bellissima! I particularly love the wood staircase..well..if I have to tell the truth the first thought that came to my mind was: how to maintain all these beatiful polished surfaces so….polished?? I suppose kids are not allowed (or they come with a private maid). Anyway, I would not say NO if they invite me for a short stay
I’m sure they don’t have a maid, but a cleaning team living in the house. lol
I would love a short/long stay too.. where’s my invite?
I, too, am in awe of that staircase! Since no one else has mentioned this, though, I feel I must: TWENTY-ONE BATHROOMS. That is just insane.
I think it’s a gorgeous place to look at, in concept, but I could never live there.
I know.. twenty-one bathrooms is ridiculous, but oh well, it’s a three generation home, plus their acquaintances and staff.. LOL
Tkz Adrienne
Wow, this is such an incredible home!
There’s a state in Brazil called Bahia, did you know that?
Thanks for passing by
love the modernism in this design!
thank you for stopping by front row spectator.. xoxo
It’s VERY contemporary, love it.. love it

Breathtakingly beautiful! A symphony is glass, marble, metal and wood.

Everyone is in love with that staircase, what a piece of art!
That house is spectacular. It’s like a work of art…
Thanks ledia, it’s amazing indeed
It’s very cool, I want to jump from the second floor into the pool. But it seems more like a hotel than a “home.” I can’t imagine anyone living there and just hanging out.
hahahahahahaha
jump from the second floor is my wish tooo. love it
I want that house, but I would also take the staircase only. Wonderful piece of art.
Totaly agree! Thx for passing by and hope to see you soon!
Wow. Sometimes I can’t even wrap my brain that people live in places like this.
I know… tha for stopping by, Rhett! Hope to see you soon!
Way cool!
Thanks boss
I want to live there!

Very impressive architecture work ! Thanks for posting ..
No, thank you for passing by
Woah, I wanna live there!!!!!….
Do you know how much this house is to buy?.
I have no idea, I don´t think it is in the market, but should be over 20M, for sure!
Let me know if you hear about anything.
I would be so nervous about making a mess in this house. XD
I would love to party and destroy this place. LOL
Seriously, I’m kinda jealous!
The top picture looks like a View Master! Perhaps a toy he never got as a kid.
It really does! Gorgeous home, huh? Thx for stopping by, Elyse!
This edifice is kinda looks like a nest and doesn’t feel much appealing from outside! But oh man! What are these guys brains made of?? Just love the interiors and the whole idea of the house
Started yearning to get a home like this LOL…
Am glad you liked it 
Your blog is so cool

The aerial view of the staircase, it is perfect to give us an idea of how fabulous that piece really is..
As long as I don’t have to clean it, I want to live there too!
Cleaning sucks in a loft, can you imagine this contemporary castle?
Very interesting.!
Hello Karen,
thanks a lot
At a certain point in some people’s lives money flows like water with no water shortage! I agree I don’t know if you would call this a home or a Campus. LOL!
Campus!!
Definitely a creative designer campus!
stunningly beautiful architecture! like music for the eyes!
thanks for checking out my blog by the way : )
Music fot the eyes, food for the eyes, massage for the eyes.. the only unhappy place is your pocket!
Too modern for me – I’d have nightmares in the place and I really don’t like “hard” homes with lot’s of glass, metal and bare floors. I’ve only spotted 2 rugs – ooh not for me. . .!
It’s just not .. . .home.
It’s all about taste, it’s definitely an intriguing concept, some will love, some will hate.
Let us know if you find something superb, that you love! We might post later on ..
Thanks a lot
All that I can say is WOW, I could be lost for days; perhaps I would leave a note on the kitchen island (err, continent), gone to to the bathroom, I f I am not back in 20 minutes…please call for help.
jess
LOL
Jess, I would carry a post-it everywhere!
Superb architectural photos.
Hello David,
Thank you
WOW, especially at the stair case. I’d love to visit homes like that but of course I’m way too old fashioned to live in a place like that. Plus it’s not quite in the budget, lol.
Thx for stopping by, Venus!
Looks like a modern art museum and not a home.
