Sorry to tell you but its not about the movie .. its more about the transformation that we have done to the building that we currently call our office ie A I HAUS .. well, the external transformation anyway.
I remembered very well .. the day we moved here from our old office in Kelana Jaya during the Christmas day holiday in 2003. Practically thrown out from there due to some irreconcible differences with the landlord (hehehe). Mind you, it was not easy to find a space that could fit all of us as we were renting the whole block of 4-storeys then. Its not that our office was that big .. our own staffs ranges from 15 to 25 people only (and 25 is on a really good season). However, our set-up allows for the 'umbrella' concept whereby there are other small just starting up firms that we take in to share our utilities, facilities, ideas and experiences in exchange for rental. So, at that time we had like one additional architect firm, one additional QS firm and one legal firm that we have to also consider apart from ourselves.
So, luckily we got this shop lot available in Puchong that we managed to buy with the help of a friend and a friendly bank in the nick of time. And the minute the developer issued the Certificate of Occupation sometime in November 2003, we got the contractor to start renovating for us. However, we moved even before the renovation is fully completed ..
Anyway, this is how the building looked then from outside.
This year in 2009, as the building is already 6 years old, we thought it would be nice to spruce up a new coat of paint whilst celebrating our 15th Anniversary too. We managed to persuade the tenant downstairs to help us with the painting using our creative designers/architects to come up with the colour scheme and ooo la la .. see the T R A N S F O R M A T I O N
The new fresh colours and the orange sign boards surely make a statement! We hope other people would also like what we are trying to do here. And the next time you pass by the building, you will know we are ..
