urban design project 2014 Rochester, Kent, United Kingdom
The project is located on the very unique site between the Norman Castle and Gothic Cathedral as well as where the oldest England’s catalpa tree located. The idea is to focus on framing views of prominent point with proposed building and gardens. The choice of materials reflects the industrial history and current appearance of the city. Gardens and central square encourage outdoor activity to form a friendly urban society The concept of building envelope was to create a visually permeable scheme which allows interaction between visitors and students. Students-artists are constantly exposed to the outside so they can experience contact with the audience even when they practice.

The building wrapped by translucent glass panel that allow light diffuse into the spaces but also protect the art works harm by direct sun light. At night, it glows like a beam, potential to be a light source of the urban street. Open spaces layout provide flexibility on displaying art work.

modular design project 2013 Canterbury, United Kingdom The project explores modularity, urban housing with an emphasis on sustainable environmental design and a humanistic approach – designing buildings that will both delight and enhance people’s lives. We began ‘Phase I’ with a group master-planning of St Radigunds Car Park. Including a multi-functional horticultural Educational Building, Student Accommodation, Private Housing and a Boarding House As in ‘Phase II’, I have chose to develop the housing by using volumetric system as its off-site construction technologies and also potential time, cost saving. Modules are built with cross laminated timber (CLT) achieving excellent U-values, facade clad with both transparent and translucent material along with BIPV panel that act as solar shades and privacy barrier.

l the street side l Ramp are proposed for disabled access and cyclist to cycle through conveniently. The units are secured by card access system through the core to maintain the safety and privacy of the neighborhood. All the communal spaces are connected to the cores which located at every 2 blocks so resident able to walk from the first block to the end of the housing. Facade that facing the street side mostly clad with translucent kind of material to preserve the privacy of the resident, Angled balcony designed to avoid direct facing to opposite student flat; also as a private external spaces so residents can enjoy meal outside in relative privacy for instance. 1.2m x1.2m plant box are introduced at each balcony, provide opportunity to residents to plant their own small crops such as herbs or flowers. This foresee the community might grown up with this sustainable habit in the future.

l the river side l The site is raised up to 1m as the flooding risk study of the river. ‘Everybody living in a city should be able to see a tree from their own window; they should be able to sit on their own ‘stoop’ or have access to a roof terrace ...... These should also be their basic human rights.’ by Richard Rogers In contrast, facade along the Great Stour river have more transparent glazing panel to maximize the view to the vegetation opposite the river and the courtyard. Balcony are introduced at this side as well as if the resident would prefer spend their time with the greenery but less privacy. This also encourage social activity between the residents and neighbour. Because of its horizontally irregular scheme, resident able to avoid direct contact from their unit to other. Planter box, benches and green spaces on top of the roof garden create a welcoming community area for gathering or small events.

landscape design project 2012 Faversham, Kent, United Kingdom
The brief is to design a wellness center along with landscaping for healing purpose. The idea was to diminish the building with series of birch trees with wood cladding on the facade , create a visual effect of the wellness center blending with the existing vegetation. I have chose a flat land rather than building on slope to preserve the home of flora and fauna as much as possible. ‘......in particular can struggle with sharing their worries or feelings and Maggie’s gives them a place to go where they can talk if they want to, or just have a cup of tea and take the pressure off.’ John Harston
By studying the Maggie center as precedent, I have carefully located the programmed spaces by separate them into community and private zone. Landscape layout was designed by reflecting with the openings of the center which defines what the spaces are to frame suitable views for each room.

form & structure
We have to design roof structure as part of the Landscape projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brief and has to be located over one of the ruins in the Oare Gunpowder Works Country Park. No internal columns are permitted which means roof has to be supported independently of any adjacent structures. Instead of only functioned to protect the ruins, I have proposed to have partially green roof on top that accessible from the garden. To minimize the demand on artificial lighting, the rest of the roof are glazed to allow light entered to the ruins. There are 3 meter height gap between to green roof and glazing roof to allow visitor to view into the ruins which made the green roof as a viewing platform as well.

The garden at the 6th floor gives the atmosphere a sense of organic and verdant of nature. Generous open space that offer comfort and beauty at equal measure. The interplay of sunlight refracted through the tree and plants cat the same time casting shadow, projects a different scene with every moment of the day. Massive columns to define the space and perspective, derive the sense of discovery that remain the awe-inspiring no matter how many times it has been visited. Bridges not just functioned as a connection between the blocks but also as a viewing deck, or a after meal walk route to enjoy the beautifully crafted nature.
47
The Trumpet draws attention due to its geometrical shape. As the entrance is approached, definition of the feature and architectural details begin to reveal themselves. Visitor are greeted with a grand staircase that drive them into the trumpet and the building.
The street between Tamarind and the neighbour as a meeting point. It also provide 4th floorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business amenities opportunity to be an important commercial centre in the future.
48
The Trumpet not only functioned as the house of amenities but also a connector between the building and the neighbour. Due to its massiveness, It always become focal point when people travel along the street.
At the spectacular rooftop garden, residents able to capture the stunning panoramic city views and the verdant Cyberjayaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skyline. Tamarind is a blend of luxury and botany. 30 metres long vanishing edge pool reflect the the facade on the watery surface along with poolside lounger shaded by leafy canopies, as a perfect venue for gatherings or event hosting.

bu melor
working experience 2016 street melor, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia the site itself is a mixed development of commercial and residential. We were appointed to design an apartment that houses 34 units, aiming for family and couples as buyer. The layout is planned symmetrically, clearly define the central communal area, and circulation. The facade cladded with series of lattice coded, with different spaces, also as a privacy barrier between the street and the units. There are 16 types of units among 34 of them which makes every units has its own feature, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a reason that break down the regularity of the facade.

The concept of the townscape using central nodes as the main theory, formed by series of cluster pattern which encourage social approach that eventually create a better neighborhood. - involved in schematic stage, presentation preparation, submission drawing

seriwangsa working experience 2015 Wangsamaju, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia located at the central of Kuala Lumpur, 15 minutes away from the famous Petronas twin towers. The site itself as a sloped contour, 20m height difference from the proposed main entrance to the 2nd lower entry point. 80% of the soil removed to accomodate brief’s required amount of carpark. The soil was tested by geotechnical enginner and proved as a good graded kind which able to reuse for landscape filling. The 3 towers consist of 468 residential units strategically positioned to avoid overlapping views to the opposite units as well as the adjacent building. Towers rise from an undulating green carpet that formed a seamless effect by sloping from the entrance level and eventually drive resident travel to the drop off level. Amenities were ‘hanging’ under the ‘belly’ of the towers glowed like a light box at night. Only lap pool sat on top the roof to maximize the green footprint as much as possible.
