Affordable housing need not be boring cookie-cutter buildings.
At least that is what architect Hj Abdul Halim Suhor is setting out to prove with this Rumah Selangorku (RSKU) project—part of the Selangor government’s affordable housing programme.
It is sited on 14.4 acres within the Selangor Cyber Valley—a 1,300-acre planned ‘smart city’ by Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Selangor (PKNS), the state’s development corporation that developed this subsidised housing project.
Comprising 864 units of 1,000-square-foot apartments—priced RM220,000 and below—with facilities such as kindergarten, convenience shop, multipurpose hall and surau, this RSKU project has several design and building distinctions that set it in a class of its own.
