PROFILE
INFO
Apart from pursuing an Architecture degree at university with a passion in Art, I have always enjoy expressing creativity in various ways. This is why I also fell in love with photography and music, because knowing that each photo I take or each music piece I write would be something unique to share.

I believe that the presence of architecture and its affected environment could change the way we inhabit spaces, or even our community and habits; I see architecture as a tool to stiffen relationship among humanity, wildlife and nature.

THE NEW BANK OF ENGLAND Preservation & Intervention
Threadneedle Street, London
BRIEF This studio investigates the production architecture in dialogue with other architectural works that are considered of value for their cultural or political resonances. The brief challenges the current contemporary notion of heritage and preservation, and explores tools to work on the update, extension and reuse of existing buildings from a contemporary approach to architecture. The new Bank of England should include a series of new programmes such as a public area or paved square, reception, servant spaces and a security chamber.
STRATEGY Through interviewing with staff who works at the bank, we realised the intricate layout of Baker’s bank may not be feasible for the public to circulate and navigate themselves. As a result, the bank will be partially rebuilt and opened to the public with new programme, such as digital trading, cryptocurrency learning, library, banking consultation, auditorium and more. To facilitate circulation in between these new spaces and with reference made to Soane’s design, courtyards and loggias will play a significant role in unifying the new and old spaces. In addition to the layout, use of skylights and change in height along these routes would also be adapted in a way similar to Soane’s principle for creating an immersive experience. My approach of architectural preservation is to reflect the building’s history by reinterpreting with contemporary architectural language, formlessly.

George Sampson 1731 - 1734
Robert Taylor 1764 - 1788
John Soane 1788 - 1833
SOANE’S BANK SPATIAL COMPOSITION George Sampson first started off building as a central block, and later Taylor and Soane extended its boundary significantly by adding and linking volumes to existing ones; eventually this lead to the result of spaces being attached next to each others through major extensions. Series of courtyards and the Rotunda became significant architectural elements in this building not only because they permit daylight to warm up their adjacent spaces, but concurrently act as ‘checkpoints’ which help to redirect circulations which further leads to other areas within the building.

and
remodeled, such as the Bullion Court and Lothbury Court, have demonstrated strong symmetries and the axes were further diverged and polarized in various manners which lead to adjacent spaces. Each of these entrance blocks not only serve to impress people upon arrival, but simultaneously they are also like the knots in a string which tie spaces together and facilitate circulations within the building by providing a clear line of sight. These simple axes naturally become guides which occupants may follow with to navigate their ways.

BAKER’S BANK LAYERS BY LAYERS By demolishing most of Soane’s work of the Bank, Herbert Baker’s design incorporated a series of linear spaces which wrapped around the external layer of the building. On the north side of the Bank, rooms in radial geometry were seen to unify spaces for both ends and redirect circulations much like the Rotunda.
JUNCTIONS AND ENTRANCES SPACES BOUNDED BY EXTERNAL WALL
BAKER’S BANK AN ELEGANT MAZE The arrangement of internal spaces were however, far more intricate compares to Soane’s design. Linear corridors lead to junctions where routes were then diverted and open up to smaller rooms and narrower corridors. The way how these paths and axes were polarised often involved a higher level of complexity than Soane’s. Baker did not utilise courtyards as much as Soane for the purpose of circulation, where corridors are mostly sandwiched and bouned by internal spaces without any view to the exterior.

TRANSFORMATION Baker’s design of the bank was certainly acknowledged as an influencial and modern interpretation of the central bank at the time. However in modern days, the bank no longer require such large area for operation and accomodation of staff. Those unused spaces will be given new identities and functions which will be opened for public visit. To achieve this and by adapting to Baker’s design, new circulation routes have been added and connect to the existing ones. With the addition of courtyards, both staff and visitors may be more aware of their location within the 3.5 acres site.

CHAMBERS The museum space is split into two levels, changing in height at different intervals for a more dramatic experience throughout the journey. The voids allow visitors to interact what is down below much like inside a vertical chamber, further emphasising the sense of enclosure. By preserving the existing structure by Baker, the objective was to mimic the spatial atmosphere Soane which he introduced in his original design. Such is achieved by skylights highlighting trasitions between spaces and by defining their spatial characteristics with lights and shadows.

There is also a semi-confined space upon arrival to first welcome the visitors with an introduction about what is ahead to be explored. Curtain walls on the side provide clear view towards the internal courtyard, which help to guide visitors across different zones and sectors inside the Bank due to its enormous size.

DIGITAL TRADING Back in Soane’s era when he designed the Rotunda, the monumental space was often occupied for ceremonial activities. I have therefore designed this space which not only gathers the visitors to the heart of the bank, but also to act as a centre point to navigate them towards various adjacent spaces and corridors. Digital trading platforms with rotary screens which display the latest update, serve as an interactive space for the public to purchase or exchange any virtual products.

DWELLING+ Adaptable & Communal Living
Leith, Edinburgh
BRIEF The brief of this project was to propose an individual dwelling design which would help to enhance the quality of living. Furthermore, the dwelling has to as adaptable and flexible as possible, capable of accomodating various occupants from time to time; it also has to demonstrate how it relates with the group proposal of redevelopment from the first stage and seek for opportunities to revitalise the city.
SITE STRATEGY Through interviewing local residents who have been living inside Cable Wynd House for years, we realised that they seem to have their own community within the building and disconnected with the outside world. To dissolve this invisible boundary between the two societies, a man-made lake and boat workshop were introduced which not only reflects its historical background of canal, but also to rejuvenate the area with various points of interest to intensify social interactions.
DWELLING STRATEGY The concept of adaptable dwelling focuses on modular construction with movable internal partitions. The form and shape of these modular units were designed based on their solar orientation, privacy, number of dwellers and more. The size of internal compartments may increase or decrease depending on the occupants’ need; such dwelling may be further expanded by stacking up these modules in the future.

Our vision was to redevelop Cable Wynd House over a 10-year plan by introducing the element of water into the estate from the Water of Leith. Previously tired and under-used spaces will be flooded and flushed; a new identity will be formed with the carving of the canals. Existing buildings are reinterpreted with a new outdoor activities and recreations.

TIMELINE
DESIGN CONCEPT This new 4-storey apartment would be the first step for Cable Wynd House’s residents reaching out to others in the local community. With a bridge built over the man-made lake and punches through the elevation of Cable Wynd House, nearby residents may gather on the bridge during special occasions. The new dwelling will adapt different shades of timber cladding in order to bring in the essence of nature; the stone-cladded facade on street level distinguished itself as a publicly accessible space, whilst its material use is a reflection of nearby building facades and contrasts with Cable Wynd House.

Spatial Flexibility Each unit has a movable and detachable partition which is secured in place unless both sides are unlocked. Such design may alter the size of rooms or to accomodate new functions depending on the occupants’ needs with ease. By detaching the partition, two units can be merged with an increase in size. This could be useful to accomodate more staff who are employed at the boat workshop in the future where necessary. I A

URBAN ROOM Community Hub & Public Realm
Tyneside, Newcastle Upon Tyne
BRIEF The brief was to respond to the Farrell Review’s call where urban rooms should be introduced in every town and city in England as multifunctional venues, providing spaces for public exhibitions, learning and community activities. It shall also promote and warmly invite the public to engage in placemaking and urban change of the city, making them aware of the past, present and future of the city’s development with a vision to enhance the public realm of Quayside.
STRATEGY To establish a community hub for the locals to visit, my idea was to collaborate with Live Theatre nearby where an amphitheatre or outdoor exibition venue would be formed as part of the public realm. Regarding the desing of the community centre, a series of programme will be incorporated; these include an indoor exhibition space, lecture theatres, self-learning area, library, coffee corner and a staff office. A contrasting facade is used to align the site with street and adjacent buildings, which subsequently converted into a ‘tunnel’ that guides visitors towards the main entrance of the building. Moreover, the indoor exhibition space may reach out to the adjacent amphitheatre by opening up the glazed folding partitions. This will help to create a seamless experience for the visitors when there are performance and exhibitions taking place concurrently. The design proposal also promotes sustainability and encourages the public to travel by cycling or on foot, providing bike parking and cycling paths across the site.

The staff office located on the top floor can overlook all the common spaces and activities happening inside and outside the building, giving them full control and providing immediate assistance where necessary. The library at certain times, may be used as a multi-purpose space to accommodate various events. Shades of pale orange and green are used on different floors for an increased vitality.

Majority of the public will be entering the Urban Room from Quayside, including tourists who are walking along the Hadrian’s Wall Path and enjoying the views on both sides. To stand out from the street, a vigorous and chromatic facade is used to highlight the unique programme of such building. Since enhancing the public realm is the main objective of the project, therefore a tinted glass canopy is adapted and events will be taking place occasionally to entertain the visitors before they enter the building.

To promote sustainability by reducing carbon footprint, bike racks are provide outside the entrance facing Broad Chare and next to the carpark, encouraging both the staff and visitors to arrive on foot or by cycling. An extensive outdoor area is provided and may be used as an amphitheatre to hold shows and events in collaboration with the Live Theatre. Vertical greenery is used on the building facade to highlight and visually extends the greenery upwards from street level; a symbol of Tyneside’s sustainable future.

THE VERTICAL PARK REIMAGINE & TRANSFORM CARPARK IN THE CITY
DESIGN CONCEPT
Transformation & Massing Diagram
The site that we have chosen is the Eldon Square car park is located in the heart of the city centre where is surrounded by shopping malls, universities and supermarket. Also, the location is near to two bus stations and a metro which is very convenience in terms of transportation. Therefore, by re-purposing this car park would lead to a considerable reduction of cars in Newcastle city centre. Our concept is that we imaging the car park could be replaced by the interchange station on top of Eldon square which encourage people to use public transport to travel in the city centre. It could be a futuristic ‘sky train’. Also, we re-purpose the Corkscrew Car Park which is connection between the interchange station and the ground. Moreover, we have design the Corkscrew Car Park becoming a vertical park which bring the experience of a real park to the city centre. In the vertical park, we kept the spiral ramp as the building fabric and make it becoming a pedestrian route. Also, playing ground and seating also added for people to stay and spend their time.

SKYPARK BUSINESS CENTRE SOUTH A FUTURE VISION: TYPOLOGY OF CO-WORKING SPACE FOR THE TRANSIENT
In collaboration with HHDFUN studio, we earned the opportunity to enter a design competition organised by the Luxembourg Airport Authority to design a financial hub next to the airport. With strong competitors like BIG, MVRDV and other renowned practices, our design made reference to the aesthetics of a spacecraft which symbolises the evolution of aerial technology, whilst offering transparent working spaces, cafés and a range of amenities including the VR suite. My role was mainly 3D modelling, rendering and plan drawings.

MAKKASAN TOD A SUSTAINABLE MASTERPLAN FOR REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION
A masterplanning project which was a Transit-Oriented Development based in Makkasan, Bangkok, Thailand.

TIANDING 218 CONVERSION OF MALL INTO CREATIVE & CULTURAL DISTRICT
A renovation project in Beijing which seeks to preserve the roof feature originally designed by a Russian architect; each of these ‘buns’ represent a specific ethnicity at the time. Our approach was to have the interior filled with offices and co-working spaces, a gallery and multi-functional space for events. We also designed transparent partitions which allow the users to appreciate its preserved roof feature. Multiple types of units were provided to serve different sizes of enterprise.

FOREST BY K A FAIRYTALE-LIKE FLOWER SHOP
Since our client’s most favorable colour is navy blue, thus we have decided to have a few shades of grey and a gentle touch of gold to go with it. A 6-metre wide lightbox with frosted glass not only intended to offset the dark colour tones, but also to display the dried flowers in a mysterious way. Apart from operating as a flower shop during the week, the client also lend the place out for video shooting and photography which helps to generate additional revenue.
