Where nature meets architecture Source: airmas.com/project/hilir-37
Modern architecture tend to skewer towards the optimisation of living spaces, the minimalist approach to design and decoration and of course, the idea of having a space you can transform into many different areas of function. But what comes with all of that is not only a hefty price tag, but also the square feet you get.
Hilir 37 was conceptualised to meet all the above, without killing the extra space for you. Think modern, sleek design and open concepts. This is what Hilir 37 is about. The brains behind its design were determined to keep the ample space and the minimalist approach together, resulting in the sort of property you would learn to appreciate, especially when compared to the shoe-box sized developments we are too often served with.

The development was launched last year in January. Hilir 37 homes are nestled in the quaint little town of Balik Pulau, Penang. A major winning point to take into consideration; the property is of freehold tenure, meaning you are definitely getting all the time you need to enjoy this property you are investing in.
There are a total of 37 units of bungalows in Hilir 37; perhaps the odd number of units is symbolic of its name. Despite each unit being covered head to toe is matte white paint and dark finishings; there are 5 different types of units that are very different from one another, that at different price ranges too.
Type A is a luxurious, modern, two-storey bungalow with a built-up of 34 x 40 feet. You have plenty to choose from if Type A is your cup of tea as there are 23 units available. Type B is more exclusive, and much bigger. This two-storey bungalow opens at 46 x 35 feet and there are only 4 units available under this design.
If you thought Type B was exclusive, check out Type C, only two unique bungalows were constructed with this type. This units’ built-up opens at 32 x 75 feet. Type D only has 7 units built after Type E which is an exclusive unit by itself.
What you can expect from the modern yet spacious design of Hilir 37 is lots of parking space for tenants. The developers didn’t take to the idea of having a huge parcel of land and not keeping it undeveloped.
There are no gates in between houses, so if you’re someone who is territorial, it might be a little wiser to opt for gate-like hedges and a divot among your neighbours. While properties never come cheap, Hilir 37 doesn’t come with a golden price tag either.
For those huge bungalows, the ample land and minimalist touch, you can be the next owner of one of the units you desire at Hilir 37 from RM1.5million onwards. If you want to look at all sides of the house before purchase then you would do well to experience the real deal at one of the show units.

About the developer
Developed by the Airmas Group, Hilir 37 is definitely a development that will pique buyers’ interest. The Airmas Group has been around for many years and is coveted as one of the most experienced developer in Penang. Impressively, it boasts over five thousand varieties of commercial and residential units. Other notable projects under the Airmas Group include the Santuari Commercial Centre and the 79 Residence, all based in Penang.
Project Details
Hilir 37’s 2-storey bungalow Type A comprises 37 bungalow houses or units in total, with each bungalow claiming a built-up area of 34’ x 40’ and lot sizes measuring 49’ x 70’. Surrounded by nature and boasting modern architectural designs, it is evident that this is the place to be if class-and-comfort is what you’re looking for.
For now though, these are the details on the current property:
- Type A (2,755 sq.ft – 5,038 sq.ft, 4 + 1 bedrooms)
Specifications:
Each unit comes with two balconies, one in the master bedroom and the family hall – both on the first floor. With that in mind, we all know that balconies are probably the most visible fantasy objects on the urban landscape (although more often than not, most of us would probably ignore the balcony once we have one and immediately sit down to watch TV or eat), but if you feel like you could do something and have plans concocted for such spaces, make plans for two of them.
Putting balconies and possible plans for it aside, a unit at Hilir 37 includes a maid room. Realistically speaking, a house with 4+1 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, the upkeep would be quite an endeavour, especially if a working mother with children were to claim this property – so cheers to the developers, who factored this in.
Another home fantasy that is included in this unit is the walk-in closet, which somehow have enraptured people and been synonymous with luxurious living.
What’s even better is that every single bedroom has a bathroom located right next to it, which is another way of saying that you get to claim your own bath space – no sharing with other family members required.
As far as spaces are concerned, the car porch can easily accommodate three cars.
All in all, the units at Hilir 37 are grand, sweeping places while still maintaining an intimate and cosy atmosphere.
Facilities & Amenities:
Facilities at Hilir 37 include a garden, ample parking spaces and tight-knit security that would ensure that your quiet and lofty living remains secure and interrupted.
This area also offers easy access and connectivity to the city center through the expressway and major roadways, all the while being near to the library, hospital, police station and school.
Location
Location wise, Hilir 37 sits within the Balik Pulau town, a much more relaxed area as compared to Penang’s busy city centers.

If public amenities is what you look out for, rest assured that your children will have many choices to choose where to enrol, as there are over three different high schools surrounding the property area. Feel safe, for the property sits in a location prime enough to be less than a kilometre away from the Balik Pulau Hospital.

An important thing to take note of is that Balik Pulau is more like a suburban area as compared to a bustling city. Sure, the town is alive, but it has much less groove as compared to major cities. In fact, the site of Hilir 37 is also more reclusive, providing views of lush greeneries instead of fluorescent lights. If you like the idea of having a luxurious home in a more relaxed area, then this is the place for you.

Summary
There are lots of greenery surrounding this area, good for those whose fantasy is to live away from the city in their own little haven. Despite the nature that surrounds the area, you’ll find that the houses in Hilir 37 employ more of a contemporary, sophisticated and clean-cut design. Think Beverly Hills, with the twenty-first century houses contrasting nicely with the trees that surround the area.
Apart from the seamless integration of nature and modern architecture, privacy and a more-than-generous amount of space is to be expected.
It’s quite a drive away from the city centre, but again, if something away from the city centre is what you’re looking for then this is it – after all, Balik Pulau has been dubbed “the other side of Penang Island”. It has got excellent connectivity to the city through expressways and even if you don’t feel like leaving the vicinity, there are a lot of facilities and amenities around the neighbourhood so you don’t have to look or go very far.
Location and facilities aside, Hilir 37 would prove to be worth it with what they are offering. With such grand spaces and carefully designed layouts, Hilir 37 should feel like a dream come true for those aiming for a secluded, spacious living while being just the right amount of distance from everything else.
If you prefer to get away from it all, then clearly Hilir 37 caters to just that. Peace of mind, loads of space, very few people surrounding the prestigious neighbourhood and a clear balance between nature and architecture… seems like a fine way to live.
