BEFORE THAT I HAVE HEARD ABOUT ATELIER DIA SINCE IT BASED IN MY HOMETOWN, KUANTAN AND I HAVE SEEN SOME OF HIS WORKS. MR. HATTA SOMEONE WHO COMES WITH HIS OWN PHILOSOPHY THAT IMPACT ON HIS DESIGN. HE DESIGNS IN MINIMAL, CONTEMPORARY TO MODERN OF TIMELESS SPACE WITH AN ECLECTIC APPORACH IN RELATION TO NATURE AND ENVIRONMENT WITH WELL ORCHESTRATED SPACE.

DIA ATELIER

I STARTED TO APPROACH HIM BY THE TJANTEK CAFÉ IN KUANTAN, TJANTEK. UNDENIABLE, THERE IS QUITE A NICE PLACE TO CHILL AT BY RUSTIC ANTIQUES, PAINTINGS, AND SCUPLTURES (BOWLS) WITH SOFT MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUNDMR HATTA DID ADAPTIVE REUSE THE SHOPHOUSE INTO A HIPSTER CAFÉ IN TOWN. HE RECLAIM THE SPACE TO A COZY CHILLING AREA IN THE GROUND FLOOR WHILE IT HAS A GALLERY AT THE FIRST FLOOR. IT IS QUITE A NEW THING AT THAT TIME.

MR HATTA DID MENTION ABOUT THE SILALIMA WHICH SERVES AS A GUESTHOUSE LOCATED IN THE ALOR AKAR WHICH NEARBY THE TELUK CHEMPEDAK BEACH IN KUANTAN. THIS BUILDING IS LOCATED AT THE ROADSIDE ALONG THE ROAD TO TELUK CHEMPEDAK BEACH AND IT DID CATCH MANY ATTENTIONS AS IT IS THE MOST OUTSTANDING BUILDING IN THE AREA.  MR HATTE SHARED SOME OF HIS DESIGN ISSUE WHEN DESIGNING THE SILALIMA GUESTHOUSE BECAUSE HE INSISTED TO DIG A POND IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE WHEN THE CLIENT DOESN’T WANT TO, BUT HE MANAGE TO CONVINCE THE CLIENT IN THE END. THIS SILALIMA GUEST HOUSE IS CUTTING INTO SPACE AND EMBRACE WITH THE NATURE.
