House for millennial couple 2018 Spring
The First house for Millennial couple The overarching objective for this project is to provide an affordable and manageable FIRST house for a millennial couple in the municipality of Brimbank. The size of the lot is 9 metre wide, 12 metre long. Space needs to be compact to accommodate essential home layout: Bedroom, living room, kitchen, bath, and front yard. To achieve above, I reduced circulation as much as possible, bedroom goes upstairs to establish privacy, and to allow more sunlight from the skylight. • 2 Level Single residential project - 108 sqm • Schematic Design • 3ds Max, Vray, Railclone, Forestpack, Adobe suite, Autocad

Mt. Macedon CFA Station Extension 2017 Summer _ 3 WEEKS INTENSIVE
Plugged-in: Community at the fire station This particular CFA station is not only a fire brigade but also the community centre of Mt. Macedon region. Studio members have collected volunteers’ request to set the right direction for the renovation and sorted out the key list: 1. They need higher firetruck access: as firetrucks are getting bigger 2. They need more storage area: chemical storage, water hose rack needs to be higher with easy access 3. They need a proper changing room and gear room 4. Keep those programs: Community kitchen and lounge on the 1st floor 5. Separate entrance for both firetruck and visitors 6. Fire-resist design element 7. New staircase and evacuation plan • 2 Level community building extension - 362 sqm • Design development • 3ds Max, Vray, Railclone, Forestpack, Adobe suite, Autocad

Plug-in Concept After listing out the members’ desires, plugging-in concept has driven the most of design approach. In order to lower the construction cost, I kept existing condition as much as possible. Extensions are modern, and simple shaped prefabricated material that could easily be assembled on site.

Hungry City 2017 Autumn
Welcome to the Urban wetland The purpose of this building is establishing a good relationship between fish and plants, in order to produce a reliable food source for North Melbourne’s 3,000 students. I utilized the aquaponics system with plant protein (legumes) to produce naturally generated nutrient for fish, and the fish poo gives nutrients for plants. This food production cycle will cover 150 meals in a day (5% of NM’s students) with less expensive and healthier self-sufficient food producing chain. Program List 1. Food Production Chain 1.1. Trout ponds : from born to on-farm process 1.2. Leafy Green aquaponics : on-farm hand harvest, companion planting 2. Complementary Program 2.1. Social Dining and Kitchen : on-site consuming removes transportation fee 2.2. Wetland Park : local entertainment 2.3. Biogas Digester : energy saving • Urban food production & consume facility - 8,593 sqm • Schematic Design • 3ds Max, Vray, Adobe suite, Autocad

Community Tree: Establishing Neighborhood Q. Are you close with your neighbors? A. No, we don’t have any connection but physical proximity.
Am
People nowadays, tend to establish their social connection that reflects one’s characteristic, and it becomes easier and faster. However, pretty much of people have the nostalgia of neighborhood in 80’s or 90’s: super-close neighbors within their life range. The main idea of this project is to establish a thriving community from small scale to urban scale by adopting ‘3 levels of shared space’. People in this town will share the balcony, the barefoot network, and the entertainment facilities.

Competition_Selected Award 2015 Summer
Handcraft Hub: Dong-Jin Market Renovation Handcraft artists in Dong-Jin Market, Yeon-Nam-dong arose as a solution of high living and rental cost of Seoul. Around the Dong-Jin Market, attractive stores and restaurants have started to locate no more than 2 or 3 years ago. However, the Dong-Jin market itself is just an old market without attention. Soil floor and dark light, odd smell. But fortunately, ‘Mojaran Organisation’ which is the non-profit organisation of handcraft artists has rented this marketplace to rehabilitate the market and artists’ living standard. 1. Social Problem 1.1. Lack of sustainability 1.2. Fast-changing customer range 1.3. Short-term relationship 2. Geographical Problem 2.1. Alteration of the expensive land value of Seoul 2.2. Low transportation accessibility 2.3. Narrow main access 3. Architectural Problem 3.1. Narrow inner space 3.2. The stink from old market infrastructure 3.3. Hard to ventilate, hot in summer, cold in winter • Old market renovation, entertainment, commercial complex • 18 commercial units, 14 open studio, open market, exhibition centre, amphitheatre • Schematic Design • Autocad, Adobe Suite, Rhino
