OPTION STUDIO 1
Children have a tendency to be inquisitive about nature which is what exactly lacks in this site. Rather than learning through books and equipment, childrens learn more and better at things as well in an environment filled with nature, which is why the design of this kindergarten is strongly guided by the principle of bringing nature into the learning spaces of the kindergarten, Classrooms are no longer perceived as an individual learning space for each individual classes. Instead, nature has infiltrated and blend these conventional classrooms into a single entity. In short, nature becomes their classroom.
HO CHI MINH, VIETNAM
To abstract this whole idea, the concept and design of Pocket Forest seeks to take a small part of what is innate in nature and include them in a building and studying in Pocket Forest would be akin to studying in a mini forest whereby learning can take place anytime, anywhere. Interlocking double volumes and triple volumes are intentionally used to interweave different kind of spatial spatial quaity and different scales of trees for the children to experience this seemingly single space called the Pocket Forest.

02 FORGOTTEN SPACE _ SIT . PLAY . WALK SUMMER 2015
URA COMPETITION
This project is a design compeition scheme for the URA Competition on Forgotten Spaces. The compeititon brief simply requires participants to rethink about the spaces around us that are often neglected such as alleyway, backlanes and pocket spaces, and think of ideas on how we can make use of any of such spaces. My team member and I have chosen a pocket space in Bedok North Avenue 3. Nestled among HDB buildings, a community centre, a carpark and a temporary showflat, this patch of green stands unused. People are not using this shady patch of green space, merely walking past it.
BEDOK, SINGAPORE
To us, forgotten spaces always have two things in common: low walkability and lack of comfortable seating. By directly tackling this issue, sit.play.walk aims to introduce walkability and comfortable seating into such spaces, while building an amalgamation of various spaces to cater to the different age groups for the people in this neighbourhood.

Pockets of Intimate Spaces
Interactive passing spaces
Larger Open Activity Spaces
Benches that allow flexible seating.
Seating with backing for group and laidback interactions. It is also more elderly friendly.

Forgotten green space patched with trees.
To preserve the trees, big activity spaces are formed within the boundaries of the existing trees.
Flexible seatings are structured around the large activity spaces.
Pockets of more intimate activity spaces are then formed around trees.
Seats with backing structured around spaces that are more intimate, with trees serving as a screen.
Decking to welcome people into the space, which weaves through the different spaces varying in privacy and interaction.
03 GEYLANG VERTICAL VILLAGE FALL 2015
STUDIO TERM 6
GEYLANG ROAD, SINGAPORE
Working on the scales of the city, the building and the individual unit this project aims to understand the complex nature of urban contexts as places for habitation and the mutual potentials evolving between them. The concept is to create flexible and easily accessible shared spaces for the residents, which are targeted to be mainly foreigners, as well as the public. The floating platform will be an elevated street food market which serves as
the main communal space for the people to interact with one another. Towers of 2 units per level are also intended to enhance the opportunity for residents to interact and even provide opportunities for extended family or 3-generation family to open up their own doors and extend spaces for gatherings.

04 THE SINGAPORE LIVING REPOSITORY SPRING 2014
STUDIO TERM 5
HIGH STREET PORMENADE, SINGAPORE
Singapore 50, Part 2 asks for the design of a living repository in the context of Singapore’s 50th anniversary in 2015, showcasing artifacts that shaped the country’s identity over time and provide insights to its possible future trajectory. This project aims to create spaces that reflect the current street pattern along the whole stretch of Singapore River. Through site analysis, it shows that at different parts along the river, there is a pattern of alternating strips
of ‘openess’ that creates privacy for the public despite these spaces being open. This guides the progamming of the spaces inside as well. Generally, the circulation is a continuous long ramp that walks people through exhibitions showcasing different time periods of Singapore, which akins to allowing people to experience a Singapore journey in their visit to this repository.

05 THE SINGAPORE VISITOR CENTRE SPRING 2014
STUDIO TERM 5
This project asks for the design of a building to replace the current Tourist Visitors Center located on the site at the intersection of Orchard and Cairnhill Road. Programmatically the exercise is to design a building with a flexible space that introduces visitors to Singapore.
ORCHARD ROAD, SINGAPORE
The main motivation is to capture how the spaces in the community area of Singapore are developed and allow the tourists to know more about the residential living in Singapore which are often less ventured as compared to places of attraction.

06 TEAHOUSE _ CLOUD ATLAS SUMMER 2013
ZHEJIANG EXCHANGE PROGRAM
The site for this project is at the Xixi Wetlands in Hangzhou, China. The aim of this project is to relate the feeling of being in the famous picturesque landscape of Jiangnan in China into our design. Moreover, the theme for this project is a Chinese tea bar. We want to evoke a feeling of lightness and peace in the customers as if they were among the white cloudsrelaxing and drinking tea.
HANGZHOU, CHINA
We also seek to redefine Chinese vernacular architecture in the modern context. As such, traditional chinese elements are employed into the design to represent Chinese vernacular while glass curtain walls, which forms the secondary facade, represents modernity

STUDIO TERM 4
This project aims to create 3 spatially different regions - the 1st and 2nd level as one region, the 3rd as one region and the levels beyond as the third region. Spaces within each region are designed in such a way that there exists little or no boundaries like doors and walls, between levels. Corton steel, the main material for this building, is a bold move towards creating a visually strong structure in the middle of an oasis.
SUTD, SINGAPORE
The two main supports of the plug-in space comes from the existing building on the north side of the oasis. The third support comes from the ground. These three supports, which form a triangle, in this way to go along with the main geometry used for this structure

STUDIO TERM 6
BRAS BASAH COMPLEX, SINGAPORE
This project is based on a typical, existing HDB, the two high-rise buildings on top of Bras Basah Complex, merging three of the existing units with each other and re-design the entire space including its vertical divisions. Since I am allocated with the bottommost unit, the main motivation behind this project is the
bring in and maximise natural lighting and ventilation into the living spaces. Hierarchy of living spaces are determined by the amount of light each spaces are given, with sociable living spaces like the living room being flushed with daylighting.

- Sliding doors to redefine 2 spaces
- Cut into the spaces to bring more light in
