Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI) is a mature Kuala Lumpur neighbourhood of 1970s and 1980s terraces and bungalows, many now renovated, with a busy shop-office centre around Jalan Wan Kadir and the TTDI market.
What we usually see in TTDI
Extensions and roof work on older houses
Older terraces are often extended at the back for a bigger kitchen, and their roofs and gutters have usually been patched several times. A site visit checks the roof, drainage, and existing extension work before any plan is drawn.
Upper floors of shop-houses
Upper floors of older shop-houses are often renovated into homes or offices. Expect older wiring, roof leaks, and narrow stair access that affects how materials are brought in.
Full renovations with designer finishes
In upmarket neighbourhoods, many projects are full renovations with an interior designer: custom built-ins, wet and dry kitchens, and imported finishes, with management or residents' association rules on noise and working hours.
