Final Year Project Year 4 - Individual Academic Work With the help of current medical technology, the life expectancy of the population increases which resulted in the rising numbers of the baby boomer generation. Studies and statistics even predicted that by 2030, the number of elderly would overtake the number of young children in New York. Dementia does not discriminate and could happen to anyone regardless of their health condition. People with dementia are often isolated from society and gradually lose their independence as they fear the loss of their cognitive abilities and memories. The scheme’s main theme is reconnecting to society and positive interactions. It aims to introduce a space where they could feel comfortable and regain a sense of independence. By introducing an intergenerational day care, the dementia demographic is put into the centre of community activity and allowing both the young and old to learn new experiences together as well as learn from each other. The site chosen for the project is located in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. The borough has the largest population with the highest number of seniors in the New York State. The site is located between PS 316 and Stroud Playground and takes up 2 existing outdoor public basketball courts. To compensate and give back to the community, the requirement and constraint of having to design a public space is incorporated into the scheme while having to find a balance with maintaining a secure space for the building users. The surrounding buildings are mostly residential with the exception of the school and a one story church at the south of the site.

Stepped volumes create a giant stoop encourages social activity, movement and playfulness, connecting to the playground.
The atrium is the tallest part of the building, emphasizing it as the key feature externally and as the main entrance into the building.
The building offsets away from the boundary creating circulation around it, allowing the building, and the people with dementia to be in the center of community activity.
The Stoop
The scheme plays around the idea of informal social activities and interactions which are essential to people with dementia by incorporating social stairs, or rather the stoop, internally and externally. Such habitable stairs were normally seen in educational institutions with the same function. 2
The Entrance Path
Visitors have the options to walk down a lush garden path or a covered timber pergola path to arrive at the main entrance of the building, which leads directly into the heart of the building.

As one enters the building, timber clad with light shining in from the rooflights above, one immediately meets the triple height atrium space which is the heart of the building. It’s where circulation and socialisation take place, with indoor garden planters providing a connection to nature. Balconies on the upper floors allow the disabled to enjoy views and to participate in the activities as well. The heart of the building also facilitates stack ventilation, providing the spaces with constant fresh air. 12

Ted Happold Foundation Award 2020 Year 4 - Group Academic Work To celebrate the 75th anniversary of the UN, our brief was to design a ‘Library for the World’ to house an archive for global literary treasures while also catering to the local New York communities. The Dag Hammarskjöld library collection would be relocated there, in addition to 200 offices, an exhibition and a 24x90x16m archive. The building should live for at least 150 years and so should be designed to cater for changing technologies, uses and climate change. The 45x60m site is located beside the UN Secretariat Building. In response to building a library for both the world and New York, we decided the concept of a ‘dining room of the city’, bringing people together through various food and cuisines. Hence the title, fusion. The books offered in our lending library and archive are related to the historical and cultural significance of food; ranging from recipe books to agricultural texts and the histories of various cuisines. To further incorporate the concept, we introduced special community spaces on the top block of the tower. A feast hall, a community kitchen and a market place that are open to public where visitors could enjoy both the food offered and the top views.

The feast hall is the celebratory space for the community to gather and experience different feasting traditions and occasions. It is also where food from the community kitchen is served. Feast Hall

The floor for the core consists of a concrete composite deck while steel and timber floors project out from it. The floor of the archive is covered in hexagonal tiles, continuing from the tiles on the archive walls, to visually connect the stability of the core with its centre of mass - the archive. The timber floor boards in the community spaces span perpendicular to the core to emphasise the direction of the floor pulling out and to guide visitors’ eyes towards the views.

Gallery in Venice Year 3 - Individual Academic Work The brief, entitled bouwkunst (building art) is centred around designing a gallery with a artist in residence studio in the heart of the Jordaan district of Amsterdam. The brief requires a new art gallery for Hauser & Wirth, while also having to accommodate spaces such as a cafe, a public offering of our choosing, a shop and offices. This project was an opportunity for us to try something new and challenge ourselves by developing and exploring different concepts. I wanted to challenge the ‘higher status’ association that comes with an art gallery. How a casual visitor would feel out of place and intimidated by the clean white space that is common in a gallery. The aim was to create a welcoming space that attracts everyone to learn about art without concern to one’s status, and to build a community with the facilities provided by the building and landscape. Therefore, I decided to integrate a market as my public offering into the urban space, with the idea that the bustling activity in the mornings promotes socialising and gives a welcoming front to passerbys and visitors.

Bridge in Bristol Year 3 - Group Academic Work The brief was to work together as 3 architectural and 2 civil engineering students to design a bridge that connects Brunel Square to the Millennium Promenade in Bristol, UK. The bridge needs to accommodate both cyclists and pedestrians. Upon site analysis, it was evident that it was a connection between the tourists area of Brunel Square and local residents living in apartments around the Millennium Promenade. To facilitate the different needs of both groups, we decided to design a double level bridge. One accommodating the faster paced locals, and the other with an activity area/viewing deck for tourists. The most challenging part of the design was working out the most suitable ramp ratio that could create an obvious level difference while being accessible to the disabled. The height of the bridge also requires it to be above 4.5m at a certain point in order to allow ships to pass through underneath.

work experience UIG Architects 2021 - current Working with UIG allowed me to experience architecture more than just design. Communication and management are soft skills that are needed just as much in addition to design. My experience includes working on The Atrium project from Contract Documentation stages (tender) till construction, and even had the pleasure to observe and be part of the finished construction of our sales gallery and show units. The Atrium is located strategically in Kuala Lumpur. I The Atrium is a Serviced Apartment sited on a 0.95 acres freehold land. The 20-storey building has a total of 241residential units with built up size ranging from 566 sqft to 1220 sqft. 3 types of practical layouts have been carefully crafted to fulfil the different requirements of metropolitans. Three main aspects of the building which are the floor plate, atrium space and glass roof were inspired by the form of a seashell while the pearl within reflects the design concept: Understated Luxury. The design concept is accentuated by three design aspects that are Lifestyle, Experience and Nature.

work experience
LT Studio Landscape Architects 6.5 Months (2020) I was grateful to have been able to work on my second 6 months placement with LT studio. My experience here gave me better insight into the landscape design industry. I learned how external spaces surrounding a building or urban space is really important in enhancing architecture. I also learned about the role of a landscape architect in the construction industry which consisted of creating spaces that interact with the public as well as the building. One of the projects I worked on is Roman Villa and Museum, Hadspen Estate, UK. The project revolves around Roman underground ruins that were found, therefore the client, Emily Estate UK Ltd. decided to build a museum dedicated to them. LT Studio was in charge of the design of external works which includes an interactive feature to showcase the Roman ruins that were still underground outside the museum. We are working closely with Stonewood Design as well as other consultants to achieve the best results. The work stage when I was involved in the project was at stage 4. I worked on floor plans, as well as visual renders.

Ash Tree Farm - Ground Floor Plan
Ash Tree Farm is a project for a private client who is looking to expand his residential home. It is a small-scale residential expansion project to design a new proposed building that is inset into an existing green hill that opens up into the courtyard area. LT Studio is in charge of designing the external landscape works. The project consists of 2 phases, the first being the courtyard with anew annex area at stage 4, and the second being the terrace area which is currently at stage 2 planning. We are working with Smith Maloney Architects as well as DHD structural engineers. I worked on both phases of the project, where I prepared plans, detailed sections as well as visual renders.

work experience Colony Architects 4 Months (2019)
Summerfield - Residential e
I was working as a Part 1 Architectural Assistant for 4 months for my placement at Colony Architects. During my 3 months of working, I gained an insight into how the industry works in the UK primarily about concept and planning stages. I learned how an Architect’s work is not only to design but to also be mindful of conservation of listed buildings and attending meetings with clients, contractors, and engineers. I was in charge of preparing planning packages, including drawing plans, elevations and sections. I was also given the responsibility to sketch renditions of elevations and plans to be presented to my supervisor before drawing them in CAD.
Sydenham Road - Mixed
Modelling was also one of my responsibilities using Sketchup. Detailed models were used in planning stages and also to be presented to clients. The images here are various works I did for projects that I worked on while at Colony Architects.
