    The Louvrebox House is located in Serdang, Malaysia. It was designed by Smallprojects / Kevin Low for client Ola Samuelson and was constructed between 2003 and 2004. The house draws inspiration from traditional kampong houses, with living spaces raised on stilts and framed by timber louvers to allow for cross ventilation. The undercroft area is used for additional living space, with glazed sliding doors opening onto the full width of the property. Humble local materials are used throughout but careful attention to details improves thermal performance, privacy, and ventilation.

    Programme Modelled on the indigenous
    kampong house, the living
    accommodation here is framed
    in timber louvres and raised
    on stilts above an undercroft to
    allow cross ventilation. Here
    the undercroft is given over to
    living space, with glazed sliding
    doors that allow this area to
    extend the full width of the plot.
    The long, narrow plan form of
    the building echoes that of its
    site and is pulled tightly to the
    higher eastern boundary, where
    a glass box entrance lobby with
    post-tensioned stair leads to
    all three levels. Humble, local
    materials are used throughout
    but careful focus on key details
    belies this economy. The
    aluminium louvres optimise
    both thermal performance
    and privacy and a ‘safari roof’
    allows ventilation.
