This project seeks to create a unique apartment experience through the use of terraces. The communal terraces act as both a corridor and a common space for the residents where interaction and activity can happen. On the private terraces, interaction can still occur between balconies. The unique form of the building and the usage of adjustable screening allows for ver tical and optional interaction. Due to the proximity of the project to the flagstaff g ardens, greener y is a focus in the project too. At the center of site sits an ‘oasis�, a courtyard garden. The shorter tower boasts a rooftop g arden and planters a r e u s e d f o r s h a d i n g , c o o l i n g a n d p r i v a c y.

I am a fresh Graduate of Architecture from The University of Melbour ne. At the Melbour ne School of Design, we approached a rch i t e c t u r a l d e s i g n w i t h a re fi n e d fo c u s t owa rd s s t ro n g c o n c e p t u a l thinking, a deliberate and robust design process, good technical s k i l l s a n d a s t r o n g k n ow l e d g e o f s u s t a i n a b l e s o l u t i o n s . M o r e ove r, I h ave d e vo t e d a s i g n i fi c a n t p o r t i o n o f m y s t u d i e s t owa rd s re l a t e d theoretical fields; taking subjects in environmental, social, curatorial a n d a rch i t e c t u r a l t h e o r y i n o rd e r t o a c c u m u l a t e m y k n ow l e d g e i n these fields and better understand the implications and impacts they h ave t owa r d s t h e p r a c t i c e . Fo r t h i s r e a s o n , I a l s o t o o k i n t e r e s t i n s t u d i o s wh i ch t o o k a n a l t e r n a t ive v i ew o n wh a t d e s i g n i s , l e a d i n g m e t o j o i n t h e Vi s i t i n g S c h o o l h o s t e d b y t h e A r c h i t e c t u r a l A s s o c i a t i o n in Bangkok. As for my work interest, I am interested in public and urban works or projects with a focus on those two elements. Projects wh i ch i nvo l ve t h e c o m m u n i t y a t l a rg e a n d f a c i l i t a t e a n a c t ive ro l e i n c o m m u n i t y m a k i n g a n d i n t e r a c t i o n .

I am capable of working well in a team, conversing and getting along with new people. Being taught architecture in an exciting and vibrant city like Melbour ne, I seek to bring that same lively spirit back to Singapore, continue learning more about the craft and to be given an oppor tunity to contribute that to the Design community of Sing apore; with the eventual aim of being a registered Architect.
