Nature is the word that mentioned repititively by the client. The atelier 'ISOLARE' is a house that contrast with most of the buildings these days. By using bamboo and timber as main materials with an Italian name, ISOLARE which means isolate in English, it perfectly suits the getaway from the social disturbance at the same time create a feeling of staying in nature. The requirement of the client is then fulfilled with this two aspects, nature and getaway.

Being close to nature is not only consists of plants, sunlight, breeze, soil and wood as well are the gift of mother nature. The nature does not only give a sense of calming and spiritual enhancement to one. The site of 'ISOLARE' is located away from the noisy town, which is rural and quiet. All of the natural elements will be inplementing into the project.

The key plan is located in Johor, Malaysia. While the site plan is in Lot 548, Lorong 2a, Jalan Sekakap, Taman Puteri Air, Mersing. Naturally, the site is enclosed with vegetation and forest trees. Benefits by the plantations, it has become a natural sound buffer zone to decrease the sound pollution in the site.

Besides, lighting is one of the biggest consideration in the house. To maximize the light into the space. A fibreglass made raincover is built above the verandah to gain maximum lighting. With multiple amount of double sided folding doors, the lighing and air ventilation can function at its max.
