Creating Local Community
from Portfolio 2023
by Kenneth Ko
Community spaces act as a respiratory organs within the Urban fabric of the city, and also promotes social, environmental and health benefits for its users. Community spaces help to bring good functionality, Social Interaction and Aesthetical value to the site.
Our vision was to create a Central communal space connecting Elizabeth Quay and the Swan River, which attracts all the users in or around the site, as the current design lacks interactive spaces.

Aborginal Culture Inspired
Rainbow Serpent is regarded to be very important in the Aboriginal Culture, the Rainbow Serpent is considered to be the Dreamtime creatures who has shaped the earth
Our concept adopted the movement of the Rainbow serpent in the community area, integrating the two major focal points of the site and following the nature to bind the site in one, promoting the community engagement.
Project 04
FREMANTLE ART MUSEUM
As one of the most precious heritage site in Perth, Fremantle has numerous historic footprints. The city centre itself is also designed to encourage walkability.
The main design concept of this project is to emphasize the circulation and permeability within the building. The main central staircase is the major focus of the design.
Internal Spaces
To adapt to the narrow site, the interior spaces of the building and the exhibition space are divided in linear shape to enhance the experience of “walking” in exhibition. Also the central staircase with transparent skin ensures the flow of natural lighting into the whole building.
The front section is to show the distribution of exhibition spaces and utility spaces in the building, which is separated by the main staircase in the centre, leading to all levels of the building.
