Three temperaments
Every home has a register.
Every home has a register.
We find yours first.
Before a single wall is drawn we sit with you to understand how you live — how you cook, host, rest and retreat. The aesthetic follows the life, never the other way around.
The Stately
Bookmatched stone, deep upholstery and light that flatters an evening — for homes built to receive.
The Quiet
Warm plaster, pale oak and disciplined negative space — luxury measured in silence.
The Current
Fluted timber, terrazzo and confident brass — contemporary living tuned for the tropics.
The Apppro method
We architect the way you live
Most renovation firms start with a lookbook. We start with a hundred questions. The answers become a spatial brief, the brief becomes architecture, and only then does the styling begin. It is slower at the front — and dramatically faster, calmer and more precise on site.
- One creative lead answerable to you from first meeting to handover
- Full material book with provenance for every stone, timber and finish
- Fixed-cost contract signed before demolition begins
- Weekly site reports with photographs, in plain language
Selected works
Three rooms, three registers
A cross-section of recent commissions — one high-rise, one landed, one commercial — each answering a very different brief.

The Courtyard House
A 1970s bungalow reorganised around a planted courtyard that cools the whole house without a single fan.
Bukit Bintang · Commercial
The Flagship
A jewellery boutique where curved plaster niches turn every display into a small stage.
Commission types
Five ways we are engaged
Every commission is bespoke, but most briefs arrive in one of these five shapes. Each links to a detailed page on scope, process and typical investment.

Transparent starting points, fixed once the design is signed. Every tier carries the same standard of drawing, supervision and finish — the difference is scope, not care.

Client voices
What owners say after the dust settles
The number they quoted was the number we paid, to the ringgit. After two previous renovations elsewhere, I did not think that was possible in Malaysia.Adeline T. Condominium, Mont Kiara
They asked us questions no contractor ever had — how we host, where we argue, where the light falls at breakfast. The house they gave back answers all of it.Harith & Nadia R. Bungalow, Shah Alam
Handover was eleven days early. The site was cleaner on demolition week than my office is on a Friday.Dr. Yew C.M. Semi-D, Bangsar
Our boutique's fit-out paid for itself within the year. Customers stay longer, and they photograph the arches more than the jewellery.Priya S. Retail, Bukit Bintang
The weekly reports meant I renovated an entire house from Singapore without a single anxious phone call.Marcus L. Terrace rebuild, Petaling Jaya
Three years on, the joinery still closes with that soft, expensive click. That is what you are actually paying for.Elaine W. Penthouse, KLCC
Practical answers
Questions we hear at first meetings
How many projects does Apppro take on each year?
We limit the studio to fourteen signature commissions a year. That ceiling keeps our principal designer personally involved in every drawing set, site walk and handover — and it is the reason our finish quality stays consistent while others scale and dilute.
Do you handle both the design and the construction?
Yes. Apppro is a full design-and-build atelier. The same team that draws your space manages the carpentry, wet works, M&E and finishing on site, so nothing is lost between a designer's intent and a contractor's interpretation.
Is your pricing really fixed?
Once the design is signed off and the material schedule is confirmed, the contract value is locked. There are no variation orders unless you change the scope yourself — and any such change is priced and approved in writing before work continues.
What budgets do your commissions usually start from?
Condominium interiors typically begin around RM 180,000, landed homes from RM 450,000, and full architectural rebuilds are quoted individually. During the first consultation we will tell you honestly whether your budget and brief are a realistic pairing.
How long does a full design-and-build project take?
A condominium interior generally runs four to six months from signed design to handover. Landed homes run eight to fourteen months depending on structural scope and authority approvals. You receive a milestone programme before the contract is signed.
Where do you source your materials?
We buy stone directly from quarries in Italy and Turkey, timber and veneers from certified suppliers in Malaysia and Scandinavia, and hardware from European workshops. Every specification is documented in your material book with provenance noted.
Do you work outside the Klang Valley?
Most of our work sits in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, but we accept commissions in Penang, Johor and East Malaysia when the project scope justifies a dedicated site team. Travel and supervision costs are set out transparently in the proposal.
Two of this year's fourteen commissions remain open
