DKLS Shop Houses
Connecting Commerce and Community
At Jalan Assam Kumbang, Taiping, the proposed mix of shops and housing creates an opportunity to bring daily amenities closer to residents. The low-rise scale and landscaped setting offer a considered response to the surrounding townscape, while the railway behind the site remains part of its local identity. The design seeks to establish a recognizable commercial address that balances business visibility with a calm neighborhoods atmosphere.
Safety is paramount, and a dedicated cycle track has been incorporated into the development. This track not only encourages a healthy and active lifestyle but also reduces the risk of collisions and road-traffi c incidents. Also features a network of bicycle and pedestrian trails that seamlessly connect to the various recreation spaces.
Residents here can look forward to not only a beautiful home but a healthier, happier lifestyle.
Contemporary Tropical Architecture
The shop-lot development adopts a contemporary tropical design, combining clean building forms with a rhythm of vertical façade frames and horizontal rooflines. Repeated elements create a unified identity across the commercial rows, while the rounded corner treatment gives the end lot a distinctive presence at the entrance. Large, glazed openings provide visibility for businesses and bring natural light into the units.
A Neighborhoods Commercial Hub
The development is intended to serve as a neighbourhood commercial hub, supporting everyday shopping, services and dining for the surrounding residential community. Shopfront walkways, conveniently located parking and clearly defined access routes support daily use. The arrangement around the open green space gives the commercial area a spacious outlook and a visual connection to the residential neighbourhood.
