PORTFOLIO SUMMARY
Architecture has always been a form of story telling for me, being inspired by the intersection of architectural poetics and human emotion. I often use landscape as a medium while exploring narrative potential through scale in architecture. However, my undergaduate final year project shifted my view from an individualistic to a community-centric architecture and has aligned me to my newfound vision of designing for societal impact. My ultimate ambition is to be an architect dedicated to building sustainable communities with a deep commitment to inclusivity and societal impact.

M.ARCH PROFESSIONAL STUDY 1 2024, SEMESTER 1, YEAR 1
INDIVIDUAL ACADEMIC WORK
STUDIO
LEADER: JOE DEMPSEY & EMMA HAWARD
LOCATION: ATTERCLIFFE, SHEFFIELD
Our design studio &Architecture MArch 1 will create a common, driven by creativity and delivered through common practice. In PS1, we develop a resolved adaptive building re-use project up to a detailed planning application stage, RIBA Stage 4. The project in Sheffield is all about breathing new life into Spartan Works by turning it into a shared community space. The goal is to support and uplift the local community, using the 5 Common Principles from &Architecture as a guideline.
PROJECT BRIEF
From our site visit to Heeley City Farm in Sheffield, we took back the insights on the efforts they’ve done in building resilient and connected communities. We also analysed how programmes in Heeley City Farm create ethical encounters and promote responsible consumption. The site visit is meant for us to reflect back the value of collaboration, innovation, and community spirit in driving positive change at a local level into our proposal.
Building 7: Spartan Works is a former industrial site in Attercliffe, known for its role in Sheffield’s manufacturing history. My design aims were to study the relationship between healthcare and landscape to improve the well-being of dementia users. My proposal would provide spaces for people living with dementia in the wider community of Attercliffe while involving the youth and local community to create a sense of ownership.
SITE ANALYSIS: INTRODUCTION TO SHEFFIELD
The site analysis were done as a group work to develop an holistic understanding of the local community as we support each other with ideas from the information gathered. We explored data census and analysised of the surrounding area to develop a programme and identify potential commons. Individually, I identifed marginalized groups in Sheffield through a demographic study.
LOCATION OF BUILDING 7 WITHIN SITE
Sheffield’s population is aging
The number of people in their fifties growing, and the number of people in their forties falling with the population growing little when compared between the last two censuses (held in 2011 and 2021)
BUILDING 7
1:50 PHYSICAL BRICOLAGE MODEL
The physical model, PPS task was meant to help us drive the programme and materiality research based on local actor, Heeley City Farm in Sheffield that relates to the chapter of Market within Take Back the Economy book. The PPS helps form a strategic approach through circular economy to support social and ecological justice
MATERIAL FIRST, DESIGN SECOND “DE-GROWTH”
This PPS aims to tackle the lack of dementia-friendly space that allows the dementia community to be connected while allowing carers for dementia patients to take a rest. Through programmes like an artistic workshop, cafe and urban garden, the youth and local community can interact with dementia patients, connecting to the wider community. Moving forward into out proposal, we brought forward the de-growth strategy and material explored in PPS design by scaling up on to Building 7, Spartanworks.
BRICOLAGE MODEL INSPIRED BY
A flexible and adaptable space that can shift to different locations as needed while conveying the idea of a nurturing central hub for community interaction.
HOW DOES THE PPS CONNECTS PATIENTS WITH DEMENTIA TO THE WIDER COMMUNITY WHILE DISCOURAGING VANDALISM FROM YOUTHS IN THE LOCAL CONTEXT?
CP1: Creative Cultures
Integrates ethical practices through sustainable materials and provides a welcoming space designed specifically for vulnerable groups
CP5: Creative Resources
Reduces the costs by using recycled materials. Designed to be constructed and maintained easily, encouraging local participation and enables feasible community initiatives.
CP4: Creative Programmes
Supports cultural and social programming, such as workshops and community events, which engage multiple demographics and foster social cohesion
CP2: Creative Users
Catering to dementia patients, caregivers, youth, and the local community, the design allows for interaction between different user groups
CP3: Creative Places
Creates a Common that is accessible, sustainable, and safe, which promotes shared ownership and active use of public space

KARINA ARMANDA’S WORK
RESEARCH & MORE RESEARCH...
Inspired by the insights taken from Heeley City Farm visit, PPS Model and then informed by Sheffield’s Dementia Strategy 2025-2030, I developed a healthcare support scheme tailored to empower the residents of Sheffield. The aim was to address the issues of lack of access to timely diagnosis and to culturally inclusive support services while connecting users inter-generationally. From the research done, I developed an overall masterplan aims and formulated the programmes based on the user’s needs.
OVERALL MASTERPLAN AIMS
FORMULATING THE PROGRAMME
DEVELOPMENT & ITERATIONS
In my proposal, I developed creative community economic activities to increase human development. I also wanted to ensure the spaces have diversity of scale and programme with access to landscaping while creating a joyful, human and non-human environment that is suitable for a healthcare building. Iterations of floorplans were created to test out on how this could be done. Once a schematic floorplan was finalised, the populated floorplan was further developed against the exisiting environmental building analysis to ensure sufficient daylight can penetrate the building.
2D EXPLORATION: SKETCHES AND INITIAL IDEAS
In my sketches, I start to form principles and design considerations to create a welcoming environment for dementia users and locals in Sheffield. This allowed a dialogue between the building’s industrial heritage and modern design elements of shingles and greenhouse concept to form, emphasizing both restoration and transformation. The result is showcased in Building 7, which seeks to revitalize the building while honouring its industrial significance.

INTEGRATION OF ACTIVITY AND CONNECTION INTO LIFE
In my plans and sections, I explored how activities and the controlled spilling of landscape could penetrate within the building. Ground floor illustrates how the landscape penetrates into the building from the outside. First floor illustrates how the landscape is contained in the greenhouse and precariously spills into circulation pathway. In the upcoming semester for Professional Study 2, we will futher refine this adaptive re-use proposal in aspects of Spatial Co-ordination, Technical Design, Manufacturing/Construction.

CAPSTONE DESIGN STUDIO EPSILON 2022, SEMESTER 2, YEAR 3
INDIVIDUAL ACADEMIC WORK
STUDIO LEADER: MITCHELL EATON
LOCATION: BRUNSWICK WEST, MELBOURNE
SITE NET AREA: 15,625m2
This design studio focuses on seeking new housing solutions in the present context of middle ring suburbs in Melbourne that revolves around the idea of collective housing. The design for the multi-residential buildings is a hypothetical project for the Brunswick City Councils that aims to provide affordable housing for 200 units.
DESIGN STATEMENT
Suburban luxury houses are usually associated as private and freestanding. However, Flexi-House re-imagines the idea of suburban luxury as collective assets and allows flexibility by freeing up multi-functional spaces. This housing aims to provide the structure that sustains adaptable and flexible living and be designed to meet the changing needs of the occupants throughout their lifetime.
PROJECT SITE & MASTERPLAN PRINCIPLES
The site context map illustrates the surrounding suburban fabric with varied typologies and a rich nature environment. The key feature of this project is to be publicly accessible open with green space running through the site while maintaining a threeway relationship between the public, community, and private spaces.

BLOCK CONFIGURATION & UNIT TYPOLOGIES
To provide equal opportunities of housing, the units are adjustable to different living sizes according to needs of the user. The modular structural system allows further expansion or downsizing for future needs within the block configuration.
SUBURBIA
COLLABORATIVE DESIGN
A catalogue of resident profiles created by myself and my peers create a diverse group of people expressing their interest in looking for a new home.
By looking for common denominators between the selected group of 20, informed design choices can be facilitated to capture the occupants’ needs, lifestyles, daily routines, and their domestic spaces
COMMUNAL LIVING
These spaces encourage inclusivity within a community and enable residents to embrace collective ownership over the space throught new uses of spaces like shared amenities and communal facilities. Amenities spaces are marked in pink to shows that these spaces are chosen strategically, connecting clusters of residents and utilising rooftop spaces.
HOUSEHOLD
THE INDIVIDUAL & THE COLLECTIVE
THE CELEBRATED YARD
The Flexi-House ensures that every resident has access to their own outdoor yard space which becomes a celebrated space for neighbours and friends.
THE PASSING STREET
The Flexi-House faces a secured communal gallery which recreates the street impression in a suburban house context.
With passing neighbours and north facing orientation, residents can adopt their usual routines of gardening and outdoor lounging with children free to interact between neighbouring units.
WEST & EAST ORIENTATION
The glass door pivots to a full 180 degrees through wide throw butt hinge. The closed timber screens allows security when the residents wants to enjoy the natural breeze.
NORTH AND SOUTH ORIENTATION
The combination of timber screens, that operates like french doors, and sliding glass doors allows the residents to explore the relationship between indoor and outdoor dwellings space.

FACADE SYSTEM
The timber screens allow continuity between the indoor and outdoor. The screens create a seamless transition between inside and outside of buildings when fully opened to allow full air circulation and views from the outside.
EXPOSURE
The glazed glass doors creates allows privacy and security when fully closed. The glazed glass doors reduces the exposure to sunlight during summer and timber screens to create shading.
SECURITY
At the gallery adjacent to the private residential units facing a public threshold, a screen mesh is installed to prevent access and entry from non-residents with an authorised gate entry to enhance security for the ground floor units.

03 the softer crossing
DESIGN STUDIO DELTA 2022, SEMESTER 1, YEAR 3
INDIVIDUAL ACADEMIC WORK
STUDIO LEADER: LAURA MARTIRES
LOCATION: ENTERPRIZE PARK, MELBOURNE
SITE NET AREA: 8,000m2
TOTAL AREA: 3000m2
This design studio focuses on designing a new public library for the City of Melbourne and investigates how architecture can shape, promote, and engage with the nature of public space in the contemporary city. The site has a significant cultural and political history as part of the city and forms part of the City of Melbourne’s ambitious ‘Greenline’ Project.
DESIGN STATEMENT
Nestled between two train lines, the library serves as a place of refuge, a place to rest and feel calm from urban stress. The project’s programme is a library and a mindfulness meditation retreat. The underneath spaces of the railway trains are transformed into public spaces to stimulate engagement with the community; and through the subtle invitations of columns and light open space, visitors are drawn into the library.
SITE MAP
Potent and peaceful against the vigourous and violent. Delicate and soft against the harsh and rough. Light and openness against the heavy and remote.
SPECULATIVE MAPPING
SITE ISSUES
When mapping the site on my map ‘The Visible City’, the feelings of estrangement, secludedness, and hecticness were discovered upon first visiting Enterprize Park which became impactful and contrary to how one will imagine a library. Focusing on my experiences mapped in my speculative mapping, the softer crossing is driven on creating a sense of belonging and slowing down the user within the space.
SITE ANALYSIS
EXISTING CIRCULATION
PROGRAMMATIC ORGANISATION
To provide a sense of belonging and privacy, each age group is given a separate space that is designed for them with light and openness interval between the spaces.
The Possibility of the Library & The Possibility of the City map my experiences, but also my imagination of what a library/city could be. The Visible City forms a visual catalogue of the things I saw, a collection of truths and the pursuit of the real as the site as it is. The Invisible City articulates the things that cannot be seen while combining the images of the past, present, and future. TRANSPORT

5. MAINTAINING VIEWS TO IMMEDIATE CONTEXT
6. CREATING TRANSPARENCY FOR ALL YEAR SOLAR ACCESS
CIRCULATION STUDY
Although the main aim is to slow down the circulation within the library, a direct vertical circulation is provided for staff and easy accessibility to those with impaired mobility.
The speculative maps position ourselves in concrete and abstract lenses to investigate the project brief (the library)and site (the city) to uncover facts and narrative potential.
WEST-EAST SECTION
The site shows the library nestled between two train tracks along the busy roads and the lively Yarra River which inspired me to instill delicateness, peacefulness and openness within the site.
In order to create an experience that changes the user’s perceptions about the site into a positive atmosphere, The Softer Crossing uses landscape, transparency & light to create softness while compelling the users to slow down as design strategies.
USER ANALYSIS INTERNAL SPATIAL RESOLUTION
To accommodate all groups of user, a user analysis was done to create a sense of belonging through the type of occupancy and to compel the users to slow down the rate of circulation.
To compel the users to slow down, small steps and ramps are used and also as a way to connect people in the library.
OBJECT STUDY: THE EVOLUTION OF THE OBJECT
THE READING SPACE
The Reading Space provides the type of reading space that creates a sense of belonging within the library by balancing the amount of publicness and privacy.
THE BOOKSHELF
The bookshelf becomes the medium to compel the users to slow down in order to create a softer crossing by evaluating the intensity of circulation and to counter it.

SITE NET AREA: 705m2
MAXIMUM INTERNAL VOLUME: 125m3
This design studio focuses on the role of pavilions in contemporary design through generative design in enhancing design strategies. The objective is to design a pavilion as if we were a creator in the annual M-Pavilion. The pavilion must be able to facilitate an evening quartet for an audience of 30 people and a lunchtime seminar with 15 guests. The pavilion must also have a roof to provide shade and shelter.
DESIGN STATEMENT
My pavilion, Kain, challenges the idea of how spatial depth can be created through spatial illusions influenced by material, light and shadows. Thus, relying on transparency to tie all these factors together.
The quality of the space creates inconveniency to an abledhealthy average adult while the disabled and children face lesser to almost no issues in accessing the space. It’s the idea of creating reversion of one’s situation in the real word to bring forth empathy on the lonely challenges we all face in our daily life.
SITE MAP
Kain in my native language means fabric, the main design focus of the pavilion.
Focusing on the simplicity of the fabric and the deep contrast with the black canopy, the sense of spatial depth of the interior volume is influenced by the panels length. The plain colour helps intensifies its solitude effect, helping the users to be separated from their surroundings to be fully engaged with the pavilion.
SUNLIGHT HOURS ANALYSIS
The sunlight hours analysis considers how light penetrates the roof structure during the day and how the structure affects the surrounding. The analysis evaluates the amount of shading provided in the pavilion during the summer and the solar penetration during the winter.

ROLE : FACADE DESIGN DEVELOPMENT OF CLUBHOUSE
PROJECT NAME: MORIB RESIDENTIAL LANDED DEVELOPMENT
LOCATION: MORIB BEACH, SELANGOR
In this project, I was tasked in designing the facade of a clubhouse based on the floorplan drawn by the senior architect. The clubhouse at the development entrance offers a range of facilities for residents, including a swimming pool, gym, multipurpose hall, and other recreational facilities. The clubhouse aims to provide convenience, promote community interaction, and enhance residents’ overall living experience.
In this task, I have to consider spatial functions, access and how the facade responds to its beach site frontage. However, the facade of the clubhouse is still under future development. Additionally, I was also able to work on smaller facade development of the guard house. Renders were done by the senior architect, Allison Lee.

This development will feature affordable terraced villas, terrace villas and twin villa units, with a total of 421 units. The serviced villas are designed based on a low-rise serviced apartment concept, providing a beach front living experience at Morib Gold Coast. My task is to assist the senior architect with developing the building plans for the 4 housing types and clubhouse facility. This experience has imparted me with practical knowledge and skills in drafting a professional drawing for authority submissions.
I assisted by amending the designs of the facade based on client’s comments and drew up sections to ensure no clashing between the roof system and the water tanks. I also tabulated lighting and ventilations schedules and evaluated the window designs to ensure all rooms reached the required requirements.

Additional to assisting the senior architect with design development and general arrangement drawings, my main task is to draw up tender drawings for this residential landed project. This experience has helped me achieved comprehension of detailing at different scales and understanding the required construction standards.
Under the guidance of the senior architect, Allison, I worked individually on these drawings and produced currently up to a total of 59 sheets consisting of:
200 series - Bath Detail
400 series - Staircase Detail
500 series - Tiling Layout

The serviced apartment will feature 36 floors of 636 total units with 6 carparks level and communal facilities. The development will offer 2 parcels of free market homes and 1 parcel of affordable housing as part of the Rumah Selangorku scheme.
In this project, I assisted the main draftsperson, Nurul, in drawing up detail drawings. Working in a high-rise project of a bigger scale introduces much higher structural complexity while considering other aspects of higher residential occupation with different programmes functionality. This experience has imparted me with different design considerations when detailing larger communal areas, allowing me to have discussions and inputs with the senior architects on the design implications within these spaces.

I employed photoshop and illustrator to render floorplans and diagrams, enhancing the visual appeal and clarity of the final presentation report, resulting in a more compelling and professional deliverable for clients. This included drawing concept diagrams to mapping out vehicular, pedestrian and services diagrams while providing coloured floorplans to express materiality and different functions of space. My diagrams role is to explain the potential design responses that would affect the user and functionality of space to the clients.
From this project, it helped me understand the detailed considerations required to incorporate a building system that combines residential and commercial uses in a functional and complimentary system.
