On a site sensitive forest reserve in Tasmania, repurposing the existing wooden shed into a visitor centre and incorporating an accommodation for the caretaker with minimal work on the land. The attachment tucks behind the existing shed to give due respect to Bob Brown’s prominent abode visually, retaining what is seen picturesquely.

A series of configurations were drawn and modelled to envision a phenomenology sensory experience and experiment the threshold to its surrounding, visually testing the outcome. A final laser cut model was presented to the Bush Heritage Australia committee and to Bob Brown himself at Oura Oura, Liffey, Tasmania.

Research Questions:Adaptive:Can an adaptive modular furniture system, initially proposed for Sacred Heart Primary School, promote an environment conducive for formal and informal learning? Can this furniture system be replicable in other school contexts?

Identity:Can the furniture system assist in the development of identity for individual student, learning groups, and the school as a whole?

Process:Can the digital design process,with its capacity for rapid prototyping, support design participation from students and staff?

The project requires the facility of the youth training centre to reflect its environment and the kind of training relevant to the leadership of the new generation. Leadership in sustainability should be expressed in the facilities designed as the trainee and guests will be living in an environment that fully embodies and appreciates the notion of preserving the environment for the future.

The site, surrounded by paddy fields resonates in the design of the building using Moire patterns to simulate a view through a handful of mature paddies, a dynamic representation which changes according to one’s viewpoint. Standing out, responds hierarchically not just on its site context, but also in the traits of being a leader.

Detailing works for atypical louvred facade playfully silhouetting the building in a datum, drawing visitor’s attention along its horizontal viewpoint. They serve as a screen during the day from direct sunlight creating glare. These minute gap of the facade members during the day, from a certain angle and distance provides visual privacy and contrastingly stands out in the night as the window is illuminated depicting the dynamism of its space, framing up the activity within. This project engages the public to the building and its facilities through creativity and cultural programs.

Proposed Development of 16 Units Semi-Detached Factory

12 Units Terrace Factory Petaling Jaya Commercial Parcel Phase 2, Malaysia.

On a 7.76 acre, the now completed commercial development project underwent proposal stage up to its completion. In a team of 7 people, I was assisting on the technical end of drawings as well preparations for presentations and renderings, dealing with the local authorities in obtaining a planning approval permit.

The design offers a warming ambiance using locally sourced timber for its earthly tone with a clean slate of ceiling and tiled floor for maintenances’ ease. The choice colours of ombré red seats and velvet red front desk revisualize the school’s primary colour imparting into the design’s identity.

Series of proposed paintings could either be the works of students or as an informative section about the school.

“Sera Nova” Semi-detached Design Proposal, Malaysia.

An entry for the competition by BridgePro Engineering Pty Ltd for AGFEST 2015, Tasmania to design a booth connecting with the public and promoting and focussing Verti-Block’s component. The competition allows the opportunity from design proposal to implementation on-site with supervision.

The hierarchical space forming a mount in the middle suggests a prominent landscape, drawing attention from the front as well as from the rear. This enables the staffs to naturally go around promoting and showcasing their products in a circular motion.

The idea for the national flags further drives the design driver for everyone to pinpont BridgePro Engineering’s promotional lot from any visible distance, of a point on plan extruded to achieve a vertical node.

Entry 2014.

The Association of Siamese Architects (ASA) calls for international design proposals for tomorrow’s living typologies for unstable delta areas. Delta Chao Phraya, where the load from the other distributaries fills the basin and swells the merged delta, causes a rise of water level especially during monsoon; and the opposite during draught.

Coconut palm trees, of in its scientific name – Cocos nucifera, is a subject of an idea garnered from Mother Nature and is locally found in this tropic region. By simply dissecting the coconut fruit, the layers exposes itself synonymously to building and buoyant to give the platform a float bonus. A “fibrous root system” is applied in the anchoring which limits its move from the estimated region, allowing for contraction and retraction.

Future Living for Unstable Delta Competition, Thailand.“Eyeland”, Entry 2012.

The competition themed “We Care/Kami Peduli” calls for a display of care and love and inspires competitors to be sensitive towards issues, problems and challenges, facing and surrounding them and expressed their in a creative design solution.

On the conceptualized theme, there are four levels of caring: Caring for yourself Caring for your neighbourhood Caring for your society Caring for your environment

River of life: this entry designs on the possible idea to regenerate a polluted river in Malaysia that would make its sense of place comprehensible to the public, reactivating the function and purpose of what a healthy river could do.

A futuristic urban icon symbolizing the aspiration of city dwellers to have more accommodation, exhibiting creative and innovative master planning, infrastructural provision and technical solutions beyond conventional building typology and infusing modularity for housing schemes and public spaces.

Autodesk Malaysia Design Competition, Malaysia.

“Hoarding Quarters”, Winner 2012

This competition is organised by Pertubuhan Akitek Malaysia (PAM) and sponsored by BlueScope Steel Malaysia (BSM) to seek ideas on their ideal “first home”.

Being more than a roof over our heads; this home is aimed at improving the social fabric of society, bringing together familial ties under a living unit. The design resolves not only insufficient land issues but also allowing greens to flourish. It achieves equilibrium with both the tangible and intangible in its structure.

Gone are the days where your old folks are sent to the old folks home. It fosters neighbour-friendliness while at the same time encourages privacy. Giving liberty to the land being worked promotes activities among the community whilst doing a greater good for mother earth. It redefines housing in a bigger scale where owners have the freedom to stack as and when they want.
