DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
There are many architectural styles that intrigue me but currently, I’m exploring Eco-impressionistic. Tiny details seem to peak my interest and sustainable architecture has always been a big thing for me. This was contribute by our environment, both surrounding and nature. We fail to admire the simple details of everyday life and fail to realise that our earth is finite. I channel these feelings into my designs in hopes that people will become more wary of what they’re doing to the earth.
“THINK LOCAL, THINK GREEN.”

GEOSCADES
AT KALLANG BASIN
GEOSCADES
The site given was located next to the Singapore Sports Hub, an up and coming space for star atheletes to train and a new landmark of Singapore. Proposed future developments around the site are beaches and waterfront hotels. This project was over the span of 3 months.
ZONING
The linkage between the two Private spaces is by an underground experiential walk. This is to stimulate the users senses and gradually lead them into a more relaxing environment .
In the exploded view, the underground linkage is clearly shown. It is the spine of the project.
UNDERGROUND
The image below portrays what it would be like to emerge from the underground walk, where one would be bathed in light and the view.
Â
This would be the experiential walk where users would be able to engage using senses such as hearing and sight. These two senses would be stimulated into a more relaxing feeking, gradually leading them to their baths.
PLANTING Â PLAN
Planting palette was chosen based on softer looking plants to give a more relaxing feel to the surrounding area as well as to let the main structures standout more.

OCTAGON LINK AT CHINATOWN
OCTAGON LINK
The site given was located in the heart of Chinatown amongst Singapore’s most well known shophouses. This project was over the span of 2 months.
OCTAGON Â LINK Main aspects of this project - Chinatown Visitor Centre -Open spaces for mulitpurpose use -Seatings to cater current usage of site.

Overall views of the rendered model using 3DMAX. This was done to show the feel of materials and have a better understanding of the spaces created on the site. An animation of the site is also avalible and created using this 3DMAX modelling.
OCTAGON LINK
The main feature of this project is also located in the center. This would be the proposed Chinatown Visitor Centre as the current building is located out of the way. By proposing it in this location, it creates an easy option for touritsts
THE GREEN HANGOUT AT TEMASEK POLYTECHNIC
GREEN Â HANGOUT
Roof plan The main objective of this project was to implement Environmental Elements that were taught during a module. Enviromental elements implemented were both in active and passive means.
In this project, the proposal was a green roof with a rain garden, to cool down the heat created from this original scorching roof terrace.
Also there were passive wind controls.
The colours portray how the site would look like with the project implemented.
Second story plan
CONCEPT Â SKETCHES Rough ideas and sketches Rough idea of how the green roof would leak into the rain garden in the central and create a water feature after a rain. However, when dry, the area could also be used for seating. Rough sketch of the rotatable doors to show prevention from rain and also channeling wind Rain water collected will the be drained down to the reservior near by..

THE ROLLING PARK
AT TEBING LANE
THE ROLLING PARK
The site given was located in the rural parts of Punggol. It was amongst greenary and Sembwang River This project was over the span of 3 months.
THE ROLLING PARK
The whole Rolling Park concept was wrapped around the idea of play, hills and marbles. The tagline for this project is Nuture, Nature, Adventure. Hence, the site was filled with stimulating adventure playgrounds for all ages.
THE Â ROLLING Â PARK This is a technical drawing of one of the main features of the proposed side, the curving bridge which stimulates a rolling of a marble. The center of the bridge also creates a netting pool, or otherwise a giant hammock over the water. This creates a whole new experience for the move adventourous park goes.
BASE
Another main feature of the site happens to be this play hill with a secret agenda.

MISC
Design Fundmentals Learning about shadings, Perspective drawing Different types of ways to shade. Through this, i learnt how to express spaces in a more artistic and abstract way as to compared to the normal realistic drawings.
MISC
Through this module, we had learnt the basics about creating spaces and light. This structure was created by listening to “The Cat and The Mouse� by Aaron Copland An artwork was then created and translated into a 3D Model in 20mins then explored.
MISC
Artwork used to create spaces.
MISC After the exploration of spaces, another module was to add materials and create a more realistic and usable environment
