WHAT AREAS DOES ANTISPACE DESIGN WORK IN?
We pride ourselves on being a multidisciplinary design practice. While our curiosity takes us across many creative fields, our core expertise lies in Architectural Design and Interior Design.
​
Our portfolio is diverse, spanning various scales and sectors, including:
-
Residential: From bespoke private homes and interior renovations to high-rise strata developments.
-
Commercial & Hospitality: Curating branded environments for retail, office spaces, and resort-style developments.
-
Urban Design & Site Analysis: We provide high-level site planning and urban regeneration strategies, ensuring projects are well-integrated into their physical and social contexts.
-
Architectural Visualization: Using advanced 3D rendering and technical modeling to help clients "see" their project long before a single brick is laid.
Whether you are looking for a complete architectural build from the ground up or a sensitive interior transformation, we apply the same level of technical precision and creative storytelling to every project.
DOES ANTISPACE DESIGN CHARGE FOR SITE VISIT?
Yes, we charge a nominal commitment fee of RM200 for an initial on-site consultation. We believe that a great design starts with a deep understanding of your space. This fee allows us to provide a high-value session that includes:
-
On-Site Assessment: A professional evaluation of your site’s current condition, orientation, and technical constraints.
-
Initial Design Strategy: A face-to-face brainstorming session to discuss your vision, lifestyle requirements, and potential layout possibilities.
-
Budget & Timeline Advice: Expert guidance on realistic costs and project scheduling tailored to your specific site.
​​
To show our commitment to your project, the RM200 fee is fully refundable and will be credited toward your total design fee once you decide to sign with us. This ensures that you receive professional architectural insight from the very first minute we step into your space.​

SHOULD I HIRE A DESIGNER OR CONTRACTOR?
The choice depends on the complexity of your project and how much "peace of mind" you want throughout the process. Here is the breakdown:
-
The Contractor: Typically focuses on execution. If you already have a complete technical drawing and just need someone to "knock down this wall and tile this floor," a contractor is your primary contact.
-
The Designer: Focuses on the "Why" and the "How." We provide the vision, spatial planning, and detailed technical drawings that prevent costly mistakes during construction. We ensure that the aesthetics, lighting, ergonomics, and material palettes work together as a cohesive whole.
​
Why hire us first? A contractor’s goal is to build; our goal is to curate. By hiring a designer first, you get:
-
Technical Precision: We provide the exact blueprints (3D renders, electrical layouts, and material specs) so the contractor knows exactly what to build, reducing "change orders" that blow your budget.
-
Creative Problem Solving: We look for ways to maximize your space and light that aren't always obvious on a floor plan.
-
The Middleman Advantage: We speak the language of both the client and the builder. We can help oversee the site to ensure the design intent is actually realized on-site.
​​
The Bottom Line: If you want a space that is structurally sound, hire a contractor. If you want a space that is designed for your lifestyle and executed with professional precision, you need a designer to lead the way.
