About ADL.
Space with purpose.
Founded in 1992, ADL Interior & Construction works with businesses and homeowners in Malaysia on architecture and renovation.
Discuss your space
Good decisions begin with the brief.
ADL’s approach begins with the desired result and the available budget. Its published philosophy considers alternative materials when budgets are limited and gives existing materials a new life wherever possible.
That means looking closely at what the space needs, what can be reused and where change will have the greatest value.
Five principles.
One coherent space.
ADL’s original renovation guide identifies five starting points. These short descriptions turn them into questions for a first conversation.
- Function
- Begin with what the space needs to do: the people, tasks and everyday routines it will support.
- Layout
- Arrange the space around those needs and make movement through it easy to understand.
- Zoning
- Consider which activities belong together and which need their own place.
- Storage
- Make room for what the business keeps, with access considered as part of the layout.
- Features, style & theme
- Bring the visual direction into the same conversation as the practical requirements.
Bring your requirements.
Build a clear starting point.
From planning and concept to materials, furniture and building services, a useful brief makes the next conversation more focused.
