I am hardworking, articulate and a goal-oriented person, who enjoys learning and acquiring new skills. My experience has taught me the importance of understanding the intended user, function and appreciating the context of each project. That said I have learned to design with empathy. Hence, the diversity in my work, none of them being the same. I have also accepted architecture as an interdisciplinary practice, taking the initiative to broaden my scope of knowledge through minors that approach architecture from the behavioral, psychological as well as urban design perspective. I am eager to learn more, still.

Hustle Culture & Healing Architecture
The standard of life has shifted over time. Success is often measured by achievement that can only be obtained through tireless work. People are urged to work long hours and “hustle” to make it in this economy and society. That said, stress becomes a large part of the working world. This creates the need to recover. Preferably, at a place one calls home. At home, people should be able to heal from all the negativity of the day and escape from the rowdiness of daily life. This project aims to create a safe retreat space.
The 250m2 site is just enoughy for a 16 x 12.5m mass. Transformation begins with a simple block mass
Simple subtraction is done on the front of the mass in order to fit the car garage needed by this family.
To improve ventilation and sunlight, a void is designed in behind the house. Subtraction occurs on the side where users can experience entering/ retreating into their home.
The mass is further subtracted in the middle creating a void of sunlight and open space, fitting for a small garden as well as natural sunlight and air flow.
Dog Care Center
“Relationship Between Humans, Environment and Dogs”
Year : 2024
Location : Jl Alam Nirwana, Mekarsaluyu, Bandung
Project Area : 8.300m2
Client : Architecture Final Studio UNPAR
Status : Finished
The rise of pet ownership be it as a hobby, stress relief or physical and mental health aid is prominent in Bandung. Yearly, dog lovers host 7-10 pet conventions housing up to 40-600 dogs in Bandung alone. These numbers are drastically contrasted by the ammount of available public dog facilities. All of which are spread out, cramped and hardly prioritizes animal welfare. There is a clear lack of dog facilities, which opens the opportunity for Hummane Society, a dog care center.
This project serves as a common ground for humans and dogs to interact, surrounded by nature. In addition, serving as a healthcare facility for sick/ helpless dogs. This center includes a clinic, dog shelter, recreation, dog care, a community center, training, competition venue, advocacy units, dog friendly hotel, cafe-restaurant and all the necessary service and technical spaces. All needs from treatment, maintenance, rehabilitation and entertainment can be fulfilled in this haven.
The theme “relationship between humans, dogs and the environment” focuses on creating a welcoming and inclusive space where pet owners can connect with nature, socialize with other pet lovers, and access a wide range of pet care services. The theme highlights the importance of sustainability, wellness, and environmental context in fostering a positive environment for pets and their owners in Bandung.

Padjajaran Sports Arena
“padjajaran sports arena reimagined”
Year : 2023
Location : GOR Padjajaran, Bandung
Project Area : 14.600m2 Site Area
Client : Architecture Studio UNPAR
Status : Finished
As an attempt to provide a proper sports facility in Bandung, this project redesigns GOR Padjajaran into a sports arena that focuses on sportspanship, locality, innovation as well as comfort. This is done with the hope of creating a flexible space that is accommodating towards its wide variation of users, providing decent experience and adding aesthetic value that brings up the name of Bandung as a leading-edge city.
This design takes inspiration from bakiak. This abstraction can be seen in the front elevation of the main stadium. A combination of the arched roof and the arched columns become the signature of this sports arena compleks. Bakiak holds significance for being a traditional sport with a strong spirit of cooperation and sportsmanship. That aspect of bakiak is a strong character of Bandung which the design tries to convey.
Design Strategies
Functional Green Spaces
HeirarchySymmetry-Axis
Building Integration Segmented User Experience
Building Charactter Through Shape
The symmetrical spatial programming divides areas bbased on its users; restricted, service, public, and media zone. each equiped with their own specific requirements. Building integration between structure, skin, MEP and interior is seen throuogh details of the sports arena from the pipes, catwalk, wide span structure and more.
Site Design Implementations
Heirarchy, symmetry and axis are evident in the site design. The roundabout in the middle enforces the linear axis of the site. Accompanied by the main building located at the back, this alludes significance and creates a vista visible from the entrance.
The massing and landscape design of this site responds to surrounding context with the tribune by the track, pintegrated edestrian accommodation connected to the flyover crossing as well as public plaza and commercial space.
Outdoor green space is utilized for idle space (seating, shade, rest, socializing) and circulation, as seen in the staircase design that is innovatively merged with a ramp and seating area.
Pedestrian, vehicle and bike circulations cover all parts of the site, leaving no dead space. Even the green spaces are mixed with human activity. Circulation throughout the site is divided and filtered similar to the indoor zonings. These circulations are defined based on their needs. The public, athletes and service users have separate circulations and areas of limited access. This is helped by not only the site planning but also the massing.

Location : Jakarta
Project Area : 265m2
Client : Olivia Brajensen & Family
Status : Finished
A family of 3 adult siblings and their parents needed consultation for a full house renovation which included a demolition. This family required a large family area as well as space for their hobbies and the help. The three siblings and their parents all contributed their own taste to each their own personal bedrooms. This can be seen in the custom furniture design that caters to each persons needs and habits accordingly. This design also includes custom kitchen set.
This layout allows the living room, kitchen and dining area to be seamlessly connected without any walls between them. Considering the small space, a mirror is added on the staircase storage doors and a large opening is made for the backyard, allowing as much light in as possible.
There are two entrances behind the carport. One of which lead directly to the staircase, for family and more intimate members. While the other lead to the guest room, a recieving area for more public use.
4 units of this cabinet-bed-vanity fixture was designed. One for each room, the parents and 3 siblings. Each fixture have slight variations according to the personal needs. One of the members required larger wardrobe space and the other prioritized a workstation specifically for decent online meetings. Such behaviors and needs are accounted for in this design.
