Why Did We Design This Housing Estate To

Nov 14, 2026

Why did we design this housing estate to look like it’s about to set sail? ⛵

Because of where it sits.

Panchor Damai Housing Estate is beside Panchor River (Sungai Panchor) in Pantai Remis, Perak, where fishermen land their daily catch. We took our cues from that waterfront, and from the boats you see there.

For the terrace and semi-detached houses, we gave the roofs sail-like edges. They echo the maritime setting, and they also work as sun-shading eaves & fins that shade the balconies and facades.

When we embrace local context and culture, a development gets a character that belongs to its place.

That’s how we approach every projects.
