DESCRIPTION
Semi D and Link homes Function often dictates the shape of a finished form; houses included. Ficus Peak however, adopt a more contrarian approach in the design of its semi-detached and superlink homes. Where convention prescribes that a house extend itself from front to back, a Ficus Peak home extends its profile sideways in a unique and ultramodern manner.

What Ideahouse Innovates
The Sime Darby Idea House is a prototype house
that is to be emulated. It is created in a world of
environmental awareness, responsibility and with
a mindset to provide sustainability for today’s and
tomorrow’s generations. With global oil consumption
rising by the day and carbon emissions escalating,
there is a concerted worldwide effort in minimising
waste and preserving our planet’s natural resources.
The Sime Darby Idea House is a socially,
economically and environmentally responsive
prototype dwelling that would provide an insight
into future tropical living, showcasing the latest in
sustainable architecture in its quest to become the
first carbon-neutral residence in Southeast Asia.
Conceived as a test bed for new ideas, this house
is a collaboration involving the world’s leading
technology and solutions providers – architects,
engineers, landscape designers, urbanists,
contractors and suppliers.
The collaboration brings together some of the
best innovations, solutions and technology available
from these companies in their respective field to
improve energy efficiency in homes and reduce the
consumption of limited resources.
We at Sime Darby will systematically adopt the
green ideas in this house, in part or in entirety,
in all our housing projects, demonstrating our
commitment to creating sustainable futures for
future generations.
Modularisation and
EasE of ConstruCtion
landsCaPE The Idea House is positioned as a pavilion within the landscape,
with its curvilinear forms inspired by and blending in with the site’s
topographical contours. Both house and landscape are integrated via
a landscape scheme divided into garden sections for health, wellbeing,
healing, recreation and permaculture.

‘Grey water’ from basins and showers is recycled to flush the WCs.
Aerating the showers saves 64 litres per day. The rainwater captured
by the sloping roof is collected to irrigate the vegetation within
the development. The water harvested is 100% recycled to cater
for a family of five.

and solar EnErGy
The house is orientated to minimise heat gain and lower cooling loads.
Its deep overhangs provide shade and weather protection, reducing
reliance on mechanical ventilation, cooling systems and its associated
costs. The house will have photovoltaic cell technology to harness
the sun’s rays as a renewable energy source.
BuildinG forM The house is inspired by the traditional Malay Kampong house in its
socio-environmental responsiveness, providing opportunities for social
interaction in the anjung and serambi verandah spaces. Open, permeable
flexible interior spaces with higher roof volumes allow for social and
spatial flexibility, made comfortable by cross ventilation.
natural vEntilation The open plan nature of the house, with sliding external and internal
walls, capitalises on its ability to be cross ventilated. Orientating the
living spaces in a southwesterly direction harnesses the prevailing
southwest wind and reduces the need for artificial ventilation.
Internal temperature and humidity levels were also lowered.
ExPansion and
ContraCtion
The house is a fully adaptable dwelling for the family. It can create more
space as the family expands and adjust when the children leave the nest.
Open plan living provides a more flexible lifestyle, promoting adaptation
of spaces to suit the family’s living, working and recreational needs.
Modern construction methods using prefabrication and modularisation
are excellent benefits to the industry. Faster, easier and more cost-
effective, they allow for structures to be demounted if necessary,
to preserve the terrain for future generations and development.
They also provide opportunities to employ individuals with a
lower skills base.
Multi-disCiPlinary
CollaBoration
The house is the collaborative result by architects, engineers, landscape
designers, urbanists, contractors and suppliers with the shared vision to
make The Idea House the benchmark in sustainable residential design.
This was achieved through pro-active knowledge sharing.
sCalaBility The house’s flexibility of modularisation allows us to minimise the
cost of materials used in building larger, higher quality homes at
a more affordable price. By using a single component template,
the Idea House can be replicated and scaled to other typologies.

ABOUT FICUS PEAK
Function often dictates the shape of a finished form; houses included.
Ficus Peak however, adopt a more contrarian approach in the design of
its semi-detached and superlink homes. Where convention prescribes
that a house extend itself from front to back, a Ficus Peak home extends
its profile sideways in a unique and ultramodern manner.
That modernity is clearly evident in the home’s exterior where a
suspended roof covers the home – a flat, slightly angled plane that
adds to the aesthetics of the facade.
To enhance a sense of community, there are no fences separating the
homes. Even so, security is not compromised, as the single entry/exit
point together with an anti-climb perimeter fencing safeguards the entire
development. In addition, all homes come with built-in security features.
Semi-detached Superlink
Denai Alam was inspired by
the age-old concept behind
traditional kampongs, one that
stresses on communal living in a
neighbourhood that abounds with
traditional charms. Central to this
is a 4.8 km denai, or footpath,
that connects the entire Denai
Alam, fostering a sense of
community. As for accessibility
– getting in and out is easy with
the GCE literally at Denai Alam’s
doorstep. There’s also the NKVE,
a mere short drive away.
Find your dream home here.
THE TOWNSHIP
Ficus Peak also boasts a number of firsts in Denai Alam –
solar-heated water for showers in all its bathrooms*, HSBB-ready
homes** (high-speed broadband), a true plug-and-play convenience
and, the first semi-detached homes.
* Except maid’s room.** Applicable to Unif i service by TM only.
