RENOVATION
WORKS.

Two residential transformations developed from design visualisation through on-site construction and final completion—showing how an initial idea becomes a built outcome.

RESIDENTIAL RENOVATION · 01

KOMERI HOUSE

A refreshed terrace-house frontage shaped by soft arches, a perforated breeze-block screen and a cleaner monochrome palette. The work translates the proposed façade language into a practical completed renovation.

ARCHITECTURE IN MOTION.

From the first line on paper to a resolved architectural model, Sora brings HAS+A's design process to life—curious, precise and always building.

THE MAKING
OF SORA.

Sora did not appear overnight. He began as a line on paper, slowly finding his face, silhouette and personality before stepping beyond the sketchbook as the official character of HAS+A Design Lab.

01
THE MAKING OF SORA & PIKOFROM THE FIRST HAND-DRAWN LINES TO THE CHARACTERS BEHIND HAS+A

Sora and Piko began with a pencil, a blank page and a search for personality. This original process film documents the earliest sketches that established their proportions, expressions and relationship before either character entered the digital world.

Each line helped shape Sora's curious energy and Piko's smaller companion presence. The drawings later became the foundation for refined character sheets, 3D development, animation and the visual identity now carried throughout HAS+A Design Lab.

07 · THE OFFICIAL STORY

WARISAN
NAGA MERAH.

Seekor naga kecil. Sebuah warisan yang dirampas. Dan perjalanan pulang ke dunia yang tidak pernah dikenalinya.

DUA DUNIA. SATU WARISAN. SEBUAH PILIHAN.

SINOPSIS

Dilahirkan daripada telur terakhir Naga Merah, Sora membesar sebagai subjek eksperimen di Marikh. Dia tidak pernah mengenali ibunya, tanah asalnya, atau kuasa yang tersembunyi dalam dirinya.

Apabila pelariannya membawa Sora ke Bumi, pertemuan dengan Put dan Umair memberinya sesuatu yang tidak pernah ditemui di makmal: kasih sayang dan sebuah keluarga.

Namun, Marikh enggan melepaskannya. Diburu oleh pembunuh siber dan pasukan tentera, mereka terpaksa merungkai rahsia yang menghubungkan Sora dengan sebuah keluarga yang dihancurkan dendam.

Di antara teknologi, pengorbanan dan warisan darah, mampukah seekor naga kecil memilih takdirnya sendiri?

BEFORE WE CREATE

A FEW GOOD
QUESTIONS.

How do I request a quotation?

Send your idea through WhatsApp with references, the size or scale, quantity and your deadline. Include any existing files so we can discuss the scope before quoting.

What if I do not have a 3D model?

Start with a sketch, drawing or reference image. Tell us what you want to make so we can discuss whether design or modelling work is needed as part of your quotation.

Which files should I send?

Share the file format you currently have, together with dimensions and reference images. We will confirm file compatibility and preparation requirements before production.

How much does it cost, and how long will it take?

3D printing is priced from RM0.60 to RM0.80 per gram, depending on complexity and urgency. Other work is quoted per project: size, detail, quantity, material and finishing all affect the scope. Ask for a project-specific price and timeline; any deadline needs confirmation before work begins.

Can I arrange delivery or collection?

Include your location in the enquiry. Delivery or collection arrangements, packaging and any related costs can then be confirmed for your project.

Which software class should I join?

Tell us your current level, preferred software and learning goal. Ask about the next session's syllabus, format, duration, fee and availability before registering.
