ABOUT ME DESIGN PHILOSOPHY TIMELINE THAQUA ECOPOLIS SIDE PROJECTS
TRICERATOPS
ABOUT ME My name derives from , the famous dinosaur, Triceratops. It just so happens to also fit my personality. I’m a herbivore and an easy going person. I’m ready and open to learning new skills as well as improving the ones I’m already familiar with.
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 and landscaping 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.”

THAQUA SITE Â ANALYSIS
Located in an culturally interesting area in Singapore, this place is well known for it’s Thai population and businesses. There have been many false tensions in the area that are meant to be tackled and hopefully unified by design, to create a space where residents of all races and cultures can unite.
