Project Description

For this Artis 3 Condominium project in Jelutong, Kitchen Story designed and completed a full residential renovation that balances modern aesthetics with practical everyday living.

The kitchen was planned with a clean and bright layout using light wood upper cabinets, neutral base cabinets, sintered stone countertops and warm under-cabinet lighting. Several convenient kitchen accessories were included to improve storage, organisation and user experience. With quality hardware such as BLUM fittings, the cabinetry provides smoother operation and better long-term performance.

The living area features a custom TV wall and low storage cabinet in a light wood finish, paired with warm LED lighting to create a soft and relaxing atmosphere. Instead of heavy decoration, the design uses simple lines and clean proportions to make the home feel open and comfortable.

The master bedroom continues the same design language with a full-height wardrobe, bedhead feature wall, dressing table, bedside storage and soft lighting. The curved ceiling and wall detail help soften the space, while the light wood texture creates a warm and restful bedroom environment.

The bathroom vanity was also customised with storage, a mirror cabinet and a sintered stone top, giving the toilet area a cleaner and more functional layout.

Main Scope of Work

Custom Kitchen Cabinet

The kitchen cabinet was designed with a practical layout for daily cooking and storage. It includes base cabinets, wall cabinets, tall storage, built-in appliances, kitchen accessories and warm LED lighting.

Sintered Stone Countertop

The kitchen countertop uses sintered stone, offering a modern, durable and easy-to-maintain surface suitable for daily kitchen use.

BLUM Hardware

Selected cabinet sections are fitted with BLUM hardware to improve opening comfort, drawer stability and long-term durability.

Convenient Kitchen Accessories

Kitchen accessories were included to make storage more efficient, such as pull-out storage, organised drawer systems and practical cabinet compartments.

Living Area TV Feature Wall

A custom TV feature wall with matching low cabinet was designed in light wood finishing, creating a simple and warm focal point for the living area.

Master Bedroom Carpentry

The bedroom includes a customised bedhead feature, wardrobe, dressing table, bedside storage and wall panel design, all coordinated in a soft light wood tone.

Soft Ceiling Design

The ceiling work includes softened ceiling details with gentle curved elements, reducing the harshness of straight beams and creating a smoother interior feel.

Vanity Cabinet

A customised vanity cabinet was built for the bathroom, paired with a mirror cabinet and storage shelf for toiletries and daily-use items.

Painting & SPC Flooring

The full house renovation also included painting and SPC flooring works to complete the home with a cleaner, warmer and more consistent finish.

Design Concept

The design concept for this Artis 3 Condominium renovation is based on soft modern minimalism with natural wood warmth.

The home uses light wood tones, white surfaces, neutral curtains, warm lighting and simple furniture styling. This creates a calm living environment that feels bright, clean and comfortable.

The cabinetry design is not overly decorative. Instead, it focuses on straight lines, concealed storage, practical cabinet planning and long-lasting usability. The soft ceiling curve adds a special design character while keeping the space elegant and not too complicated.

This style is suitable for condominium owners in Penang who prefer a modern home that feels spacious, peaceful and easy to maintain.

Project Challenges

1. Creating a spacious feel within a condominium layout

Condominium units often have limited wall space and fixed structural areas. The challenge was to include kitchen storage, bedroom cabinetry, TV feature wall and vanity storage without making the home feel too crowded.

2. Softening ceiling beams and structural lines

The original ceiling layout had strong beam lines. If left untreated, the space could feel visually heavy. The challenge was to create a ceiling design that looks soft, modern and natural.

3. Balancing storage with minimalist design

The homeowner needed practical storage for daily living, but the design direction required a clean and minimal appearance. The challenge was to hide storage without making the carpentry look bulky.

4. Coordinating the whole house with one consistent theme

The kitchen, living area, bedroom and bathroom all needed to feel connected. Different materials and areas had to be coordinated carefully to avoid a mismatched renovation result.

5. Improving kitchen convenience in a compact space

The kitchen required practical cooking space, appliance placement, storage accessories and countertop area, while still keeping the walkway comfortable.

Our Solution

Kitchen Story planned the home with a full carpentry approach, using consistent light wood tones and clean cabinet lines throughout the unit. This helped the kitchen, living area, bedroom and bathroom feel connected under one design theme.

For the kitchen, the cabinet layout was designed to maximise storage and improve workflow. Convenient accessories were included to make daily use easier, while the sintered stone countertop provides a durable and premium surface. BLUM hardware was used to enhance the function and quality of the cabinetry.

For the ceiling, a softened design was introduced to reduce the visual heaviness of the structural beam. The curved ceiling detail makes the bedroom and living areas feel smoother, calmer and more refined.

For the bedroom, the wardrobe, bedhead feature, dressing table and storage cabinets were designed together as one integrated carpentry system. This allowed the room to remain clean and spacious while still providing practical storage.

For the living area, the TV feature wall and low cabinet were kept simple and linear, with warm LED lighting to create a comfortable home atmosphere.
