Slim Farm Lodge, Malaysia (Urban and Rural design)
The proposed site is a rural forested area located north of Kuala Lumpur. The client wanted to develop the land as a self-sufficient eco farm, utilising natural technics for growing plants and fruit trees with its own irrigation and water harvesting systems. The client asked Pendulum Architects to design a farm lodge that reflect the eco spirit of the farm and incorporating features from the Malay houses that have evolved over the years to respond to climate from excessive heat, humidity and rain.

Slim Farm Lodge
After extensive research and visits to KL, the design team developed a design to provide three bedroom, open living and dining space that enclose a court yard with water features to provide natural cool ventilation throughout the lodge. The lodge has high ceilings to trap the heat in the apex of the roof and remove excess heat from the building with smart louvres ensuring a comfortable and cool living space.
The lodge was located on raised part of the farm to provide views across the farm and the water stream that runs below it. The lodge is raised from the ground to protect from the wildness and provide storage below the lodge.
The site clearing was completed and the lodge is now at construction stage two and due to complete in 2023.
