3. CANDY
HAY WAI LENG
She is an interior designer of twelve years and for
those years, she has spent her time working with
Palladio Interiors Sdn. Bhd.She started off as any other
average Science­streamed student until she piqued
her interest to arts. Her in particular, she likes the look
of detailed drawings as to how they connect and serve
their function. Prior and during her degree, she started
her practical and assets training. After getting into the
Interior Designing course, she was then more exposed
to aspects of interior designing.
When she joined Palladio Interiors Sdn. Bhd., it was
still a small company which comprises of only four
staff members, including herself. Over time, through
aggressive marketing, and quality customer services
and practices, they as a company have managed to
achieve great heights within the construction industry
and won multiple awards such as the Malaysian
Interior Design Award (MIDA) in 2009.

4. hen questioned on why did she choose to work in
Palladio Sdn. Bhd., Ms. Candy answered that since
the company started off very small,she and her small
group of staff built the company together and over time,
they built a close bond and that bond is still going on
strong even with new designers coming in. In other words,
the company is like a family to her. Aside from that,
personally starting with a small company gave her the
opportunity to learn more and more as she goes along and
grow bigger. Hence, she is very happy to say that she has
made the right choice.
W
one that she would recommend would be the Verve Suites
in Mont Kiara whereas the other is justregular offices that
are located closer to the end­users such as in residential
areas.
In total, though not
entirely accurate, Ms.
Candy estimated to
have been involved in
at least thirty projects
over the past twenty
years. Two of her
recent projects, one

5. I n order to be an interior designer (or any other
occupations), firstly, one needs passion. To quote Ms.
Candy, “Passion is very important.” One needs to like the
work he or she is doing. Secondly, he or she needs to be
hardworking. He or she needs to spend a lot of time to
explore and really work into it because there are so many
things to explore about. When talking about interior
design,it's not just simply about lightings,furniture,
floorings,ceilings
and fabrics.For
example,fabrics.
There are many
types of fabrics
with their very
own distinct
textures and colours.There are a lot of things that play
into factor and one needs to really know the kind of
materials are suited for whatever occasions.

6. D epending on the projects interior designers are based
on they are to work closely with architects but their job
lean more towards giving consultations to their clients about
design and finances. They provide consultations for clients and
end­users as well as those who are involved in the early stages
of construction such as the developers.
Interior designers work closely with all the consultants and
construction team—architects, landscapers, all the way to the
construction workers. Though it may seem that interior
designers only intervene during the final stages of construction
but in fact they are needed from the beginning and all the way
through out the phases (Pre, During & Post Construction),
working along side with everyone of the construction team in
every step of the way.
In pre­construction, they are required to have very detailed
drawings in order to conceptualise ideas and concepts as well
as to tend to problems before starting the construction itself.
At this point, communication amongst the construction team is
very important, as it is a necessity for each and every one of
them to understand the ideas and drawings conceived during
this phase. In reality and due to the common nature of clients or
end­users, however, last­minute changes would need to be
done. Hence, this is not where the ideas are finalised.

7. Interior designers spend a lot
of their time on site during
the construction phase,
working alongside the
contractors and construction
workers to keep in check and
keep on track of the project.
They are also needed to take
into account of whatever
problems the contractors and
construction workers may
encounter and either quickly
find a solution or move on to
something else
“After Service” is a term
used to describe the post­
construction phase. This is
simply customer service
where the interior designers
tend to clients’ or end­users’
complaints. Should they be
unsatisfied with the interior
designers’ work, they would
provide support in whatever
way possible, which would
result into ensuring their
customer’s trust.

9. S ince the formation of PALLADIO INTERIORS in 1991 the
firm has consulted a significant number and variety of
projects.
In its years of consulting, the company has demonstrated
its ability to address challenges for clients of all sizes and
many business and personal activities, also revealing its
appositeness at the leading edge amongst its peers.
PALLADIO INTERIORS develops contemporary creative
solutions that possess the qualities of longevity, thereby
enhancing the outcome of client investment.
The only thing indubitable about the work of PALLADIO
INTERIORS is not that it offers simply more of what others
have already done, but challenges and elevates design that
works; design that demands to be noticed, and influences
the sensual experience of space.
As a resolute patron for the pursuit of international
standards with integrity, PALLADIO INTERIORS has
consistently produced interiors of international quality. In a
closer world where we are all exposed to global trends,
anything less than the power of design excellence can
effect success. We are serious about delivering design
solutions of international class and this bounds us to think
and act on a higher plane.
