SECTION A-A The entrance is brought down due to the existing site condition where the house is at a lower level than the driveway. The entire house is designed using a lot of split level to enable maximise usage of space without the habitants feeling claustrophobic from the compactness of the space. Besides, the staircases are placed in the middle of the house with a skylight bringing in natural lighting into the house, and hence further the illusion of spaciousness.

The front and rear facade is utilized to bring in as much as natural lighting into the house. Besides, the openings will also allows for cross ventilation along the internal space. For the attached bathroom located at the second floor, each shower area is having a double volume space with skylight on top of it to enable the bathroom to feel comfortable even if it only have a very compact space. From this section, it is visible that the caretaker’s (Shimul’s) house is sunken at the bath room area to allow for sufficient height to allocate the bed on top. 230025882700 2426 24261213024262426 2426 roof peak 9800 level: 2.850 upper mez floor level: roofupperlevel:level:9.8000.00groundfloor5.450firstfloorlevel:7.800top2000 2600 roof mezlevel:level2.300decklevellevel:6.440level:0.20groundfloor 6240 lower first floor level: 4.900 1540 W W 300 300 100 490 300 685 25382138 400 2126 2100 200 100 500 900 2076 1800 1225 230025882700 2426 24261213024262426 2426 roof peak 9815 level: 2.850 upper mez floor level: roofupperlevel:level:9.8150.00groundfloor5.500firstfloorlevel:7.800top1865 roof mezlevel:level2.300decklevellevel:6.440 6240 lower first floor level: 4.900 GB GBGB300 5002 1900 250 1275 2100 1250 1740 550 12001850 2800 350 2138 2175 2148 2126 1937 2137 2015 300 600 100 490 200 2076 2100 125 BR level: 0.20 ground floor 685 200150

The balcony of the project is de signed as a multi-level terrace. Each terrace is connected to the lower one with a ladder. Hence, forming a fun levelling that enable the inhabitants to play with. These terraces are also connecting the study area at first floor to the room at second floor.

Each house is having their own carpark and a small garden space at the entrance. The caretaker unit is tuck behind the building with the entrance from the rear. Although it is only 206 sqft, but it is completed with everything a person required for comfortable living: a small kitchen, dining / study desk, living space, a raised bed platform with bathroom located underneath.
GROUND FLOOR
Void is allocate on this floor to connect the common spaces (dining, kitchen, study and living) together. Also, with these void, the space at ground floor would not feel as oppress even with the low ceiling height. Besides, with the big opening on both ends, it visually extend the space.

L45 is completed on year 2014. The client initially approached us with a rough brief to design a student housing. He wanted to replicate his experience as a student in London, many years ago and to encourage a sense of community among students of different Hebackgrounds.alsowishes to make it very simple. Something that is minimal and not loud, subtle yet functional. Since then, there has been integral changes to L45 as we further explore the brief by introducing a community Whilelibrary. the front half original portion is kept, we demolished the back half portion, and built a new extension following the profile of the original front half. From the section, the original 2 storeys is modified to become a 2-storeys + 2 mezzanines, creating 8 rooms with ensuite bath and a sizable public library under one roof. Through the interlocking of spaces,we were able to play with spatial versatility that encourages interaction in creating these intimate corners.
After the completion of L45, the student housing is very well received and the client decided to get the unit next to it and extend it to accomodate more rooms. Besides, he wants to provide more common spaces for the students that stay in the house to feel more like a home. Hence, based on the comments from the students and caretakers of L45, we designed a big open kitchen that can occupy by two groups of students to cook at the same time. The middle of the house that housing the library space at L45 is then converted into an double volume common space for the students to mingle and spend their leisure time.
There’s a total of 6 rooms within this new extension unit. By using the same entrance door in L45, opening is created between both house to connect the two units together. The overall front facade of both old (L45) and new extension (L47) unit of the project.

This section is showing the interesting layout of the 3 different typology of student rooms with the multilevel decking library as the middle core. To enable the desire number of rooms is achieved within the building without compromising the comfortability of each room, the room is designed as a series of interlocking space. Platforms and levelling are make used to place a bathroom, a sleeping deck, a study table and a wardrobe within each small room.

PUBLIC / PRIVATE SPACE
In this project, the exploration of public and private space is experiment through the usage of material and control of circulation. The wall of the library space is in BRC wire mesh which is very transparent. However, when books are placing in between these “book rack”, it created a solid barrier, and hence providing the privacy for the corridor that leading towards the student rooms.

This is the room facing the front facade and hence this typology is having their personal balcony. Utilizing the advantage of the slanting roof, it is having sufficient ceiling height to allow the sleeping deck is placing above the bathroom. To maximize the space, the study desk is also one of the step leading to the sleeping deck above.
The opening is placed carefully to allow natural lighting to come in without sacrifice the privacy. The floor level of this room typology is raised. Hence, the study desk is also the ceiling for the bathroom located underneath.

Align with the brand name “Bean Brothers”, we propose some fun ideas of having a fantasy forest within the site, with the [Jack and the “Bean” Stalk] standing right in the middle of the cafe -- a tower that connects both ground and mezzanine floor together.
Brothers is a cafe branches from Korea. Their first outlet in Malaysia is continuing with the similar approach from their existing outlet in Korea, which is very rustic and industrial. For this outlet, they want something different and with the existing huge and beautiful tree growing in the alfresco area, it gives us an inspiration to try and bring the entire “forest” coming into the interior space as well.

“FloraBRIEF by the Crossroad” is a boutique hotel located in Bukit Nanas, Kuala Lumpur. The owner wanted to make use of the flat rooftop of the hotel lot and have a restaurant operate on there. Working together with Think City, we hope to have a new vision for all the buildings owner in Kuala Lumpur on how we can make use of the usually unused rooftop: while being functional, also sustainable at the same time. Within the limited space, we proposed to have a few features that can assist in the restaurant operation. 1) rainwater harvesting 2) urban farming 3) clay cooling green wall 4) adjustable roof With the limited budget, this will be a first attempt in introducing green roof idea to other buildings owner in Malaysia.

Corporate Office Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. TETAWOWE ATELIER [Sep 2020] Team: tat sing + hueimiin + yanting + Andrew
A corporate office wants to move its main office into a warehouse building with a floor area of 8700 sqm. The office is intended to be less traditional but at the same time able to fulfil its office’s operation. The office’s operating nature requires a part of the space and meeting rooms to be open to the public sales representative or even to the public during special occasions. At the same time, it still manages to preserve privacy for the internal office’s operation. Hence, the planning of the office requires a careful adjustment of the placement of various departments to accommodate the client’s specific requirements.
BRIEF
Plenty of greeneries are applied in the space to align with the corporate’s background in producing nature-based products. The view of the office from flex-seating areas towards the “plaza”.
Polycarbonate sheets are applied on the ceiling and the structures to bring the huge warehouse scale down, and forming sep aration of space.
The office “plaza” that allows as ampitheater space for the office internal event, and could be use as discussion spaces or flexible working spots during normal days.

Collective Negative Space Village Collective Negative Space Village is an experimental architecture project. This project attempts to start an exploration of a new possibility of architecture via the “productivity” of Negative Space, which includes relative, public, social and political economic thinking.
In the title, “Negative Space” implies those areas outside buildings that open the boundaries and links and reform new courses. “Collective” relates to the core of education which integrates three themes “Beyond Architecture”, “Environment and Ecology” and “Cultural Date”. “Village” is the imagination to initiate a new thinking of the relationship between people, cultural experience and environment based on the different scales evolving from the site of Taiwan Air Force Center (TAF).
“Farmer’s POD”
66 Farmer’s Pod @ Collective Negative Space Village Taipei, TETAWOWETaiwan.ATELIER [Nov 2018] Team: weiping + tatsing + alex + hueimiin + suzzanne
With the idea of introducing green space back on the man-made tarmac ground of the ex. Taiwan Air Force headquarters, we dug up the existing asphalt concrete road and allows the soil benethe it to breathe, which also restored the original appearance of the land.
When we excavate the tarmac layer, we discovered that ten meters underneath the land is consisting clay, , which reveals that this land may have been a riverbank in the past. The side elevation of the project. Each side will have 3 units of houses, sitting back to back of each unit.
The “Farmer’s Pod” is designed to assist in the development of farming / gardening works. With the soil bed it sits on, this pod is an experiment and vision towards our environment. Since it is impossible to turn all manmade ground surface into green in short period of time, it is only possible to express this idea through this portion of soil bed of TAF. The tar layer was also dug and planted with greens in an irregular grid form to mark a beginning for expanding the green space here in the future.
“Farmer’s Pod” is an experimental structure, and it should only exist in conjunction with the surrounding environment and activities. This structure is more like a “tool” that is placed on the land and is temporarily available to assist in the planting activities: it can be disassembled or combined according to needs. Besides, it can also move flexibly with the progress of planting activities, reflecting the possibility of harmonious coexistence between buildings and the land environment.

[01] Parix X The Seine
In middle age (12-16th century), trading activities in Paris were active and number of bridges started to grow. Houses and shops were built on bridges to solve the limited accommodationissues. After most of the middle age bridges collapsed due to the failure of structure, bridges were rebuilt at the same spot but majorly dedicated only for pedestrian and transportation means.
With Paris growing from La Cite since 3rd BC, bridges were built to connect the island to opposite land.
[02] Parix X The Bridges
Paris was born from the Seine, around an island, La Cité. The river was the main artery for transporta tion, water, source of economic and political activity. Various trades happened around and along the river; even sports and events took place on the Seine.
ParisBACKGROUNDwasborn from the river Seine, and on this riv er was once stood more than one inhabited bridg es that house commercial and residential buildings. With the rich history of the river and Parisian bridges, designing an inhabited bridge in Paris is a project of However,nostalgic.
74 Bridge the Gap Paris, HochschuleFranceAnhalt (DIA), Architecture Design Studio (Clement Blancet), Winter Sem 2020/21
Combination of old and new extension of the bridge together, forming an interesting public spaces for the peoples.
Regeneration plan of Napoleon on ~1804 and industrialization on early 19th century estranged the city from the river. Peoples were closer to the river and able to have more activities interact ed with the Seine. Construction of retaining wall and bridges dedicated for automobiles, further the distance between people and the river.
there are a total of 37 bridges along the river Seine in Paris on the present day and looking at the currect connectivity and traffic conditions of each bridges, it makes me wonder the necessity of adding another one with similar function...
DESIGN CONCEPT does Paris needs a new bridge?
75
...So,
Physically: The bridge will react as an urban spider that tackle reasons the city estranged from the Seine, crossing these obstacles, and reconnect different part of the neighborhoods back to the river.
System: At the same time, learning from the past, the program on the bridge should have the flexibility to accommodate transformation, everything on top should be loose and impermanent, just like a boat on the river. The bridge could possibly turned into a stage space.
Paris do not need an extra bridge with similar func tion but will need another kind of bridge, that able to “bridge” the lost in translation of the Seine and Parisian bridges; and to reinvent the urban fabric of the Seine. To achieve this, an existing bridge that carrying a piece of historical identity in Paris could be chose and top up with a new extension to elaborate the idea in connecting the gaps of past and present; the city to river; and to make the Seine the centre of the neigh bourhood, again. This bridge is proposed as an urban intervention to connect the past and present, and the city to the river.
Content: The bridge will reflect and reinvent the past urban fabric of the Seine, recreating various activities fit into present context that once took place on the river, and bringing back daily life to the Seine.
+ PROGRAM / ACTIVITIES + STRUCTURE = FOSTER COMMUNITY SPIRIT
The Urban Market is located at Jalan Petaling, which is the Chinatown area in Kuala Lumpur. Chinatown used to be a huge community for Chinese settlers and the community spirits are the beauty of the place that keeps this town lively and interesting. However, this essence is lost in the transition of time and the place has become a tourism spot that lacks of sense of community spirits. Hence, by responding to the present community and referring back to the past on how the community spirits was cultivated, the urban market is looks to foster community spirit of Chinatown and further engage the different groups of communityCOMMUNITYtogether.GROUP
Open Spaces also can be transformed into temporary performance space.

FRESH MARKET
The main circulation path is not only acts as an overflow space for the crowds but as well allows the urban market connects the surrounding con text together. Referring to the program and structure of Chinatown, the open spaces of the urban market are used as a space for publics to interact and foster community spirit.
The open spaces in the urban market act like an in between space to connect two different spaces to gether. Besides, just like how the open spaces worked in Chinatown in the past, the open spaces are as well an overflow space for the crowd. In the perspective image (top right), the open spaces at the left hand side is a small park space that allows visitors to chill and spending free time while the main circulation path in the middle links the surrounding context of the urban market together.
OPEN SPACES
The fresh market is break down into two different blocks for dry market and wet market. Within the in dividual block, it is further breaks down into different clusters. The perspective view shows one of the clus ter in dry market that selling vegetables. The stalls are arranged in centric and the dividers between stalls are in steel louvered that allows the interaction to take place between stall owners. Unlike the con temporary supermarket, the fresh market is applying the traditional market trading system that allows the visitors to approach each stalls and have the oppor tunity to interact with the products and stall owners.

The food stalls are as well being break down into clusters that selling a variation of foods. The perspec tive view (top right) is showing the food stalls area and the two different dining experience provided.
The formation of clusters to break down the masses. It creates sense of be longing for the traders and encourage intimacy and interaction.
The diners are able to have visual interaction with other diners that sit in the cluster around the void opens to the stalls below. Besides, there’s also visual interaction between the diners and visitors at the lower level, similar to the dining culture in Chinatown where the diners share tables and interact with pass-by neighbours. The seating areas are separate to two types, referring to the past program of how the dining culture in Chinatown can helps foster community spirit, where one is sitting facing the foodstalls while another is sitting in a cluster surround ing the void that open to the stalls area below. For the stalls that facing the foodstalls, the diners have the opportunity to interact with the stall owner and witness how the food being prepare, similar to the dining culture in the Chi natown.
The stalls are arranged in hexagon form to allow a sense of belonging for the visitors and traders when they entering to one cluster. Besides, this form allows the traders to face each other and hence provide the opportunity to interact.

The six spatial typologies: linear, spinal, serial pro gression, centric, courtyard, and cloister are to be integrated into six different functions elements: cafe, toilet, tower, ramp, wall, and jetty, together to create a new interesting Oceanside Ensemble. This exercise is to further understand the possibilities of each spa tial typology and with this constraint, to explore more about the integration of these spatial typologies in different functional spaces.
SIX SPACE SET
The Oceanside Ensemble is for the occupants to en joy, have fun and relax from the busy and exhausting city life. The ensemble is designed based on a playful theme where the entire structure is a playground not only for kids, but also for adults to play. The main part of the structure is sitting under the shades of existing trees, extend along the site, to embrace the site and enhancing the existing context. Besides, with the light skeletal structure, the ensemble is not block ing the view from street towards the sea.

104 Education gives the power to shape a sustainable future. This potential is multiplied exponentially by each member of the community. Hence, Dot to Dot proposes a participatory space integrating families and neighboring residents. The school becomes a link between the young generations and the older ones.

The columns keep a dialogue between the pavilions adding new movements and playful moments in between. Built on these structures, a string of modules relates to the imagination of childhood, where children can climb, swing, and slide. When all the individual units connect together, it generates a stronger dynamic of play, teaching and gathering. In the same way, an interconnected collective of people creates a more powerful impact for a sustainable future.

Toyscape is an artwork comprising a series of toys inspired from the literature ‘Cosmicom ics’ by Italo Calvino. Cosmicomics is a fictional novel which tells enchanting stories about the universe that derives imagination with scientific facts and phenom enon’s in cosmology. The intention of the toys is in spire possibility and provide an exciting introduction to science from common interpretations of the text book. The toys would not only convey stories from ‘Cosmicomics’ but it would also convey scientific concepts such as movement, probability and color formation in a manner that can be enjoyable and appreciated by a younger audience. This project consists of collective works from 16 en thusiastic designers in groups to produce 6 life size toys, based and extracted from 6 different stories from ‘Cosmicomics’ . Drawing inspiration from the story they will envision and create toys that will be interactive and relatable for children, bridging factual concepts and the narrative of ‘Cosmicomics’.
A 3 months long workshop is held prior to the ex hibition in Georgetown Festival to kick start the toy making process.
16 toymakers are gathered to have a briefing session and digest the short stories they chose in “Cosmi comics” before the brainstorming session is held to translate these stories into an interactive toy. The ideas are then tested in 3D printing and laser cutting studio in miniature form before we carry out the toy-making process in timber workshop. In the timber workshop, these 1:1 interactive toy is designed and cast in timber structure by the toymak ers, with an idea of these toys are able to be flat-pack to be transport from Kuala Lumpur to Penang for the exhibition.

Our participant has come up with 6 interactive toy based and extracted from these 6 different stories from <Cosmicomics> : 01. The Distance of the Moon 03. A Sign in Space 05. Without Colours 06. Games without ends 08. How much shall we bet? 11. The light years
“What is toy? Are toys only for kids?” We ask, and were asked by this question through out the 3-months of toy-making process. No clear answers were given, but if the question makes you re-think, it’s worth asking. With various thoughts swimming around in mind, with each line sketched on papers, with every cut etched on wooden surfaces, with every failure and retry, and going through this process back and forth...aren’t all these similar with “playing a toy”?
