A home is supposed to be a sanctuary, a place where you can put all your worries and anxieties aside and come as you are. At Hana Hills, serenity and urbanity are in perfect harmony with each other.

Park Homes — Defying Conventional Home Types

Tired of looking at the same old semi-detached and bungalow design? Introducing Park Homes in Gamuda Land, Malaysia’s first cluster-of-8 home typology. After an extensive nationwide survey of various household compositions and focus groups, Park Homes is the answer to what modern homeowners are looking for in their ideal home. 

This new house type is unprecedented in the marketplace due to its distinctive configuration of eight units—four corner and four intermediate units—arranged around an exclusive and gated communal garden that measures 40 feet wide. This innovative configuration bridges the gap between traditional terraces and semi-detached homes, offering a novel and enhanced living experience that is anything but ordinary.

From the outside, the houses resemble four terraced homes in one row, but an aerial view reveals that the corner units are square-shaped while the intermediate units form an L-shape. With its communal garden in the centre and a private garden for every unit starting from 20 feet, residents in this low-density development can enjoy intimate community interaction and connection with nature right at their very doorstep.
