The Shaorou café designed by SML Architects Sdn Bhd, occupies an upper-floor unit in a mixed-use commercial building. The design of the café attracts customers despite the unusual location by differentiating itself from the eateries around. The layout prioritises the internal common corridor as the main frontage, with a lightbox signage to draw attention and an extensive use of glass blocks for visibility as well as privacy. Reconditioned furniture, natural finishes, and an abundance of plants — enhanced by natural light — create a warm and calm atmosphere that contrasts with the surrounding environment.

The Meadows Bungalow by SML Architects was designed to fulfill a family’s longing for a home connected to nature after years in apartments. The client wanted spaces where children could enjoy pets, plants, water, and fresh air, while still maintaining apartment-like comforts such as safety, minimal maintenance, and air-conditioning. The house balances openness and privacy, with flowing ground-floor spaces, a central green courtyard, and transitional terraces that connect indoors with gardens. Wrapped in zincalume for durability, the design nurtures family life while embracing nature
