Imagine turning one family problem into a movement that’s now shaping how Malaysians design their dream homes.
That’s the story behind REKABRICK, the KL & Selangor renovation brand that has grown from humble beginnings into one of Malaysia’s most recognizable names in Zen inspired home transformations.
And yes, it all started with one simple belief:
Homes shouldn’t just look beautiful. They should make people feel at peace.
The Real Plot Twist: It Was Never About Business. It Was Always About People.
Founder Shadee didn’t enter the renovation industry through prestigious architecture firms or luxury interior design studios.
He started from the ground up.
An engineer by training.
A real estate professional by experience.
A creator by passion.
While renovating one of his own properties for a buyer, he discovered something that completely changed his direction.
Selling a property could take months.
Transforming a home could change someone’s life in just a few days.
A ceiling makeover.
A brighter living space.
A smarter layout.
The impact was immediate.
As he began sharing his renovation projects on Facebook, inquiries started flooding in—far more quickly than property commissions ever had.
That was the moment REKABRICK was born.
The Turning Point: One Family Home, One Tight Budget, One Big Opportunity
In 2020, Shadee faced a challenge.
His aunt’s house in Shah Alam needed a complete renovation, but the budget was so limited that contractors weren’t interested.
Instead of walking away, he took on the project himself—even though he had never managed a full house renovation before.
He learned every day.
He asked questions.
He experimented.
Most importantly, he documented the entire journey online.
The mistakes.
The lessons.
The transformations.
Malaysians connected with the honesty behind the process.
What began as a small family renovation soon became the foundation of a growing brand.
Creating Malaysia’s Zen Home Movement
What makes REKABRICK different?
Not the tiles.
Not the furniture.
Not the colours.
It’s the philosophy behind every renovation.
The team designs homes that create calm.
Spaces that strengthen family connections.
Layouts that improve the way people actually live.
Much of this inspiration came from redesigning Shadee’s mother’s home with open courtyards, natural materials, cozy corners, and flowing spaces—the complete opposite of the cramped terrace house the family once lived in.
This wasn’t simply interior design.
It was lifestyle engineering.
The concept even caught the attention of TV3, introducing the Zen home concept to a wider Malaysian audience.
Within a year, REKABRICK had become one of Malaysia’s most recognized names in modern Zen-inspired living.
From Viral Transformations to International Attention
One project elevated the brand to another level.
RUMAKITA.
A beautifully transformed terrace home featuring a balcony jacuzzi, nature-inspired materials, multifunctional living spaces, and a peaceful atmosphere that felt more like a boutique retreat than a traditional home.
The project quickly went viral.
Its influence reached audiences far beyond Malaysia.
As more companies began adopting similar concepts, REKABRICK established itself as a trendsetter rather than a follower.
Today, the company has expanded from a team of just four people to nearly fifty, achieving remarkable growth over the past five years while remaining committed to one simple principle:
Function first. Beauty second. Trends last.
Building More Than Homes
Kuala Lumpur and Selangor remain the company’s home base.
But the vision extends far beyond individual renovations.
REKABRICK aims to help shape the future of Malaysian living—from neighbourhoods and townships to the country’s overall design culture.
Expansion into Johor Bahru and Penang is already on the horizon as the company continues bringing thoughtful, people-first design to more homeowners.
Because every Malaysian deserves a home that feels like a place of healing.
