INTERNATIONAL HOUSE
“In a carefully nurtured environment, boundaries are crossed, cultural gaps are bridged and people of vastly divergent beliefs learn to accept differences in thought and tradition.” – from The brief history of International House.
There are many instances where inhabiting a space with strangers can be alienating. The design hopes to better these experiences by adding spatial reference points where students can effortlessly converge and have meaningful interactions.

Wattle st swimming pool design
2021. s1
Individual work
The idea of this project is to combine the aboriginal wetlands period with its history in the 19th century, where Saunders described the site as a playground and ‘swimming pool’ for neighbourhoods, in order to turn the empty, dead area into a reborn, and reconnect to the neighbourhoods.
02
MAIN SWIMMING POOL RENDER
The Aboriginal group continued to inhabit the peninsula well into the Colonial period, generally based around 'Tinkers Well", a natural spring located at the north-western point. European development of this site did not occur before the mid-19th century when maps and plans indicate a rugged cliff-face on the edge of a swamp. The edge of the swamp, at the high watermark, is roughly where Wattle Street now runs.
the Harris Family 1816-1866
John Harris received grants or leases on the Pyrmont peninsula from 1796, The Harris Family started develop the site in 1859 when the Pyrmont Bridge was opeded.
The reclamation of the swamp commenced, taking place in stages over the next two decades. The creation of roads in this area opened up the opportunity to quarry sandstone along the Jones Street escarpment.
'Hell Hole first developed its name owing to its formation.....A fairly deep excavation was made on this land to get to the bottom of the main block, this went down considerably below street level and with every heavy rain it would fill up and though first class pumps were installed and many times 1 assisted by the fire brigades first steam pumping engine, it would take weeks to empty. The little fake so formed was a source of attraction for bathers, generally on Saturdays and Sundays, the boys would have great fun in the water, on scaffold planks."
The 1850s saw the beginning of a boom in the use of stone for public buildings, which was to continue into the 1890s, and the quarries of the Pyrmont peninsula, particularly the western and northern sides, provided the raw materials.
The stone was shipped to Parramatta. Blackett had also used the stone to construct Sydney University in the 1850s.
Wattle St depot 1905-now
1905: A tar plant being erected
The War curtailed roadworks and production from the Depot was cut.
1946: the Depot retumed to civilian production.
1996-97 the demolition of the plant buildings in the interior of the Depot.

Openings-rabbit holes
Simulating the foam of a rabbit hole in nature, the opening of different scales is chiselled into the building entry to achieve a tanderm of narratives and a fow between spaces.
Skylight
Using skylight to introduce natural light inside and correspond to different scenes.
Culture
Incorporating Maori architectureal features inro design and technology, adapting the building to the site.
Organic
Using curves throyghout the design to create an orgainc and cave like atmosphere.

LAST DANCE
Sydney Harbour Drama House
2021.s2
Invividual work
The floating Drama House wants to light up the "abandoned area" of the Sydney Harbour, attracts audiences to come, enjoy the venue's beauty, and gather to watch the performance. This drama House is supposed to be environmentally friendly. The Drama House is an artificial reef and can provide space for ocean species to live and grow. Meanwhile, this drama house can reawaken people's memories of shark island and come to Shark Island. In this project, the Drama House invites the audience and performers, human and nature, to come to the island and perform this "Last Dance".
