grounding Berlin home for a maker The University of Edinburgh M.Arch 2
2023
Location: Berlin, Germany We focus on food as a daily source of nutrition, yet we overlook its implications on a larger scale, particularly its production and waste. Grounding Berlin is a co-housing community that integrates the industrial typology of a makerspace with the everyday life of Berlin’s urban residents. The proposal seeks to revitalise the Autobahn 104, playing a pivotal role in addressing food waste and to further develop a circular economy.
Located by the tunnel of the Autobahn, Grounding Berlin utilises its undulating site to connect its architecture to everyday life, introducing pockets of conversation between its residents and the urban public. The architecture implements a series of four housing units with their own respective studios, and a separate Open Workshop to accommodate heavier forms of industrial production. With the aim of giving back to the city of Berlin, food waste is gathered in the architecture’s Material Research Lab to allow its users to research and develop potential methods of upcycling, and new forms of biomaterials. The proposal is designed to house curious individuals to hone and develop their craftsmanship alongside a sustainable and creative community.

Berlin’s Urban Bioloop addresses the predicaments and opportunities of both the conversion of the A104 section of the autobahn as well as living in an age of population, growth, and food mismanagement. The proposal is a system of six productive landscapes ranging from high-tech to human-independent ecologies, which, through the waste processing operated on site, become mutually reinforced. The active involvement of scientists, locals, passers-by, consumers and producers is supported through a staged and diverse programme of uses including a makerspace, nursery, community centre and a supermarket.

The provision of dwellings is suggested and there are opportunities for their typologies to vary and emerge over time according to the shifting local and global needs of housing. The organisation of the landscapes is dictated by the existing conditions on the site as well as these varying, and sometimes dividing, practices on how we approach agricultural and horticultural developments. The scheme focuses on ways human and non-human beings can coexist while proposing various large and small scale solutions to issues relating to food production and waste. It prioritises systems of a circular economy and reciprocity between city-dwellers and the biodiversity which surrounds them.

singgah/to stop by (on a journey) making room for objects in displacement The University of Edinburgh M.Arch 1
2022
Location: Edinburgh, Scotland In a neo-classical crescent in Bucharest, named for a GreekEgyptian City (Aleea Alexandru), a stripped-back Italianate villa houses a dark wooden chair, made in Indonesia to Dutch tastes. The chair, in a guest area of the Embassy of Indonesia, was a tool of colonial conquest; in traditional Javanese ceremonies dignitaries were seated on mats, but with the Dutch conquest the chair became a symbol of status. Now cast out of Indonesia, into Romania, the chair carries this history within its teak frame and fabric dressing. Many similarlycomplex objects reside in museums throughout the world, taken from their place of origin, stripped of their complexities to suit public display and its conventions of description. However in an embassy, as a space in constant negotiation between two (or more) peoples, objects ‘belong’ differently. Indonesian heritage travels with the object.
Deriving from the Indonesian word singgah (pronounced sing-gah) meaning “to stop by whilst on a journey,” the project proposes a cultural and political bridging point in the form of an Embassy for Objects awaiting Repatriation. It explores how the displacement and impermanence of objects, and the relationships these objects have developed to their new ‘homes’, might engender new forms of material, programmatic or social space. Singgah makes room for political and cultural exchange, conversation, observation, and the appreciation of objects and their complex (and contested) histories. Hanging over the Water of Leith, in Dean Village, Singgah has uncertain footings; its position, like that of the objects within, is precarious. Its material choices, situated and yet detached. It exists in displacement.

site theatre: project eixo an interactive intervention through a deconstructed norm The University of Edinburgh UG Y3 Location: Baleal, Portugal
2017 Competition
The Architectural Design: Explorations course focuses on developing our familiarity with different approaches to architectural design experimentation and the processes that these entail. We were asked to develop an approach to specific design themes based on the identification of problems, methodologies and various strategies. For the brief, we were given the option to choose between two architectural ideas competitions that are run by international agencies. This allowed us to test our ideas and skills and to position ourselves in a critical international context.

Project eixo is a group proposal for the ARKxSITE Architecture Competition which was also academically assessed. Given the brief to design a site theatre on the peninsula of Baleal, in Penich, Portugal, it proposes for an architectural intervention that emphasises and co-exists with the site and the existing ruins.

omah djawa house contemporary interpretations of a local vernacular Budi Pradono Architects Location: Wonosegoro, Indonesia
2021 Professional Work
During my time at Budi Pradono Architects, I was involved in various private projects such as private residential houses, villas, and small offices. Omah Djawa House is a private summer home that was commissioned for a large family. The architecture is a reinterpretation of a Javanese house, combining traditional spaces of the Pendopo (front of house), Omah Ndalem (main house), and Pawon (back of house), where spaces retain their privacy however are still interconnected.
Omah Djawa House utilizes locally sourced materials, including wood taken from the client’s old house to build the traditional Joglo structure for the front of the house. The main strategy was to manage the landscape to create various qualities of space through a change in terrace levels. As this was an ongoing project under construction, I was involved in the lighting design, 3D modeling, and the construction drawings.

BUMN spire establishing a landmark for the new capital city Alien Design Consultant Location: East Borneo, Indonesia
2020 Professional Work
During my time working with Alien Design Consultant I had the privilege of working among one of Indonesia’s largest projects - to design Indonesia’s new capital city in the island of Borneo. The BUMN Spire is a collaborative project between Alien DC and international engineering and architecture company, Atkins. The project involved in designing a masterplan for the new BUMN (Ministry of State Owned Enterprises) headquarters.
The BUMN Spire is a masterplan of commercial and cultural spaces, supported by a transit oriented organic design, centred around what will be South East Asia’s tallest tower, the BUMN tower. The masterplan includes transportation developments such as LRT and MRT stations. I was involved in 3D modeling as well as visual production of diagrams and post production of renderings.
