Taken from ‘The Prestige’ magazine, January 2015 issue, where I was photographed together with two influential men who have helped lay out the building blocks of my architectural career. Mr Tony Liew (centre) is the dean of the School of Architecture, Building and Design at Taylor’s University. He was the man responsible for nurturing my world-view on architecture and design with his tutelage, and even selected me on behalf of Taylor’s University to be part of the Bauhaus Summer Programme in Dessau, Germany for a month-long workshop, which consequently opened my eyes to Western architecture and modern history. Dr Tan Loke Mun (right) is the director of Archicentre and DTLM Architects; a respectable man who has served the architectural industry in Malaysia with tremendous integrity. I was fortunate enough to be taken under his wing, to serve as an apprentice for about a year and a half, working closely on a wide-variety of projects. Beyond architecture and design, he taught me to honour my profession, always display modesty and be courageous, which helped me develop into not just a better designer, but also a better man.

01 The Principle
02 The Districts
Establishing that an iconic tower will act as a pivot and a central park to provide for communal amenities and vista opportunities.
The edges are defined by roads which create a demarcation of districts. The client’s brief begins to feed into the planning process.
03 The Objects
04 The Networks
The proposed tower blocks which consider the views, daylighting and orientation arrayed radially around the central park.
Connectivity between public and private spaces, and the hierarchy of linkages begin to take shape with emphasis on the park.
05 The Massing
06 The Integration
With all the urban elements considered, the architecture begins to define itself more clearly by floor area and setback constraints.
The final draft illustrating a fully-integrated township with extensive landscaping.

Outsourcing Render Expertise Given the tight time-constraint, visual production was outsourced to Chinese company, Rayspace to generate high quality renders and post-renders. Iterations and amendments to the SketchUp model had to be communicated to Rayspace as the proposal developed. Materiality, ambiance, landscaping, contextual details were also added by Rayspace to bring the visuals to a professional standard, which were then used for client-facing presentations.
Outsourcing Modeling Expertise To communicate the proposal effectively, Technibuilt was asked to create a 1:2000 scale physical model. Acrylic blocks with integrated LED lighting helped inform the massing of the scheme. Coordination was key in this process as time and cost of generating the model had to be carefully considered. The model was then delivered to the client’s office, and was used as a key design communication tool to inform our approach and intentions for the scheme.

June 2014 One of the earliest drafts which was set-out to achieve a ‘village-look’ to approach the scheme with pavilions with prism-like roofs as a reference to vernacular Vietnamese architecture.
July 2014 The prism roofs are toned down after engineer’s input on the practicality and cost. Therefore, a more tropical approach was taken, and landscaping has been placed as an emphasis to resolve the open spaces.
August 2014 A landscape consultant was engaged by the client, and provided extensive input on the open spaces. The main discussion of the architectural design revolved around the main pavilion and its climatic response to precipitation.
September 2014 The scheme matures as it becomes resolute after having regular technical meetings between all consultants. The client approves the design and the project enters the tender stage.

Site Visit Although most of the site supervision is done by the project architect in Vietnam, we still had to monitor the progress of the works and provide assistance where necessary. The entire duration of construction was 274 days, and the photographs above were taken during Q2 of 2015, where we recorded and documented the progress of the works. I left Archicentre shortly after the site visit to pursue my Part-II education.

Throughout my time at the Glasgow School of Art (2015-2018), The Art School community has been constantly marred by the tragic fire that broke out in 2014. It was only from the devastation in 2014 had I only realised the amount of adulation and global influence The Art School had on the art community. The overwhelming support shown by people from all over the world, coupled with the tremendous resilience and the positive attitude shown by The Art School towards the ravage had helped instill a little Glaswegian patriotism in me, and I am very proud to call myself an alumni of the Glasgow School of Art despite these testing times. Unfortunately, it happened again in the summer of 2018 when the restoration of the Mackintosh Building was still ongoing, and I firmly believe that a personal experience within the historic walls of the Mackintosh building was not meant to be for me. Things were not looking great when I arrived, as I had to quickly adapt to the brutal Glaswegian climate which coincided when the Malaysian to British currency exchange rate was at its worst. Thankfully the experience as a student very much made up for it. The architecture studio was a creative and exciting space where plenty of creative influences and interesting exchanges have helped broaden my horizons. The studio has encouraged me to hone my craft and have an appreciation towards design theory, which helped significantly in improving my architectural representation and illustration techniques. Beyond the studio, I like to occupy my time attending workshops, Friday lectures given by guest speakers, symposiums, forums and exhibitions organised by The Art School, which kept me inspired and motivated to produce good works.

Site was an open plaza turned open-air market and then later an enclosed market with a formerly adjoined indoor swimming pool.
Existing Fabric |
Many historical buildings remain, while the proposed site is dominated by a controversial six-domed indoor markethall.

Hospital La Latina |
Between 1499 and 1904, there was a hospital attached to a convent which had a large garden to grow medicinal herbs.
The City’s Sanctuary |
La Latina was an important place to seek refuge and medicine during the medieval period.
Macro Response
Defence Mechanism
The idea was to provide a platform for the various religious institutions nearby, such as colleges and churches to give support to the patients spiritually and mentally.
The two main streets are fended off by the two main walls to create a quiet and safe environment for patients, which can help in the healing process.

Setting-up a grid system that allows for a logical approach to spatial planning.
The grid helps develop a serrated form, with modular patient cells that feature garden terraces to grow medicinal herbs.
Designing cloisters on each floor so that the patients, support staff and healers can access each other within reasonable distances.
The two main walls act as defence mechanisms from pollution and noise, while housing the healers, staff and social spaces.

1. Algae Bioreactor Tubes to capture pollutants from SouthWest prevailing wind.
5. Fuel is used in the markethall for cooking and heating.
4. Water and biomass stored to be used as fertiliser in the herbal terraces. 2. Reverse turbines act as scrubbers to collect carbon residue.
3. The clarifier separates byproducts via density, which are fuel, water and biomass.

- A Nation Divided - Economic Uncertainty - The Failure of Western Democracy - and synonymous headlines have populated the media after the historic 24 June 2016 referendum. It was not easy entering the job market during this period, because the political and economic uncertainty kept-on piling as the leave date drew closer. All this Brexit shenanigans, on top of the stringent migrant employment policies did damper my aspirations to work in the United Kingdom a little. However, after several interviews over the span of numerous months, I received an offer to join Boyes Rees Architects. Enticed by the prospect of exciting projects on offer and working in Central London, I started on 18 June 2018 as a Part-II Architectural Assistant. My experience with Boyes Rees Architects has been very fruitful for the most part, and I have worked on projects across different sectors, mostly in the Southern region of the United Kingdom. This has given me insight into the architecture and construction industry in the UK, particularly with regards to the planning process, building construction and building regulations. On top of that, London was a living lab; a global metropolis full of bustling life and industry. I took this opportunity to explore the city’s culture and heritage by regularly attending festivals and exhibitions, fully immersing myself into the social fabric of London. However, after nearly a year of living and working in London, I have decided to move onto a fresh new challenge.

The client owns both the existing block, and the existing car park site; the client has advised the design team to put forward a proposal by utilising all usable space in the land in order to maximise the potential of the site. Hence, the design team developed a set of principles to adhere to during the design process. WHIL

To ensure that the views of existing neighbours are not obstructed. This is done by making sure that there is at least an 18.0m setback from the window positions of neighbouring buildings. 2. To preserve the local foliage. There will be a minimum 8.0m setback from the annotation tree positions on the survey drawings. 3. To have an acceptable access for vehicles and services into the site. The existing car park site was re-planned to ensure that there are provisions for a minimum 6.0m carriageway, and strategy for loading. 4. To satisfy the number of car parking required for residents. By lifting the volume of the proposal off the ground to provide for a minimum of 3.5m clearance undercroft car park. 5. 67 To enhance the commercial value of the existing block. Adding another floor of flats, and using the large flat roof as a potential shared amenity space for both the existing and proposed blocks. 117.00 DATUM 2

The client’s feedback gave the design a stronger direction. Although the tree survey helped increase the develop-able area, but the number of units will decrease due to the fact that the client has advised against altering or adding to the volume of the existing block. However, the circulation, westeast orientation and undercroft car parking strategies were the strengths of the previous design exercise, and the client was happy to have these design features carried forward. Hence, the proposal was updated accordingly, by 1.

The trees were updated on the survey drawings, with better precision of the root and tree crown radii. The integration of the amenity space and addition of flats atop the existing building is structurally complicated and could be very costly.

Having at least 3.0m clearance from the crowns of the existing trees and clear from all roots. This widens the build-able area, allowing for a deeper unit layout. Separating the proposed block from the existing building, which decreases the amount of units per floor.

Enhanced Design Principle
There were several concerns with the previous scheme, and the client highlighted that the access, aspect, balcony clearance and permeability needed to be addressed in order to proceed with the design development.
The principle was to firstly address the access into the site to service both the proposed and existing building, which creates a void that adds permeability and daylighting into the scheme. Also, a shared amenity space was provided.
Agreed Design Principle After several sketch designs and client’s feedback, a design resolution was derived. The total amount of development and unit numbers were agreed between the client and design team, and the scheme has successfully addressed all the previous client’s concerns.

01 Existing Conditions
02 Client’s Brief
The existing restaurant is a single-storey building which falls under the Southwark Council’s Tower Bridge Conservation Area.
The client, owner and head chef Tom Sellers wanted to add another storey atop the existing restaurant to expand its seating capacity.
03 Facade Continuation
04 Pergola-Inspired
The existing timber cladding is a prominent feature, which was then accentuated by extrusion on both sides to act as a wall.
The idea was to join the cladding across the building, to create a series of pergola-like timber structures which function as both wall and roof.
0 5 Te r r a c e A r e a
06 Circulation
The setback volume of the extension created some external space which can function as a terrace which can add to the dining experience.
By incorporating a lift and staircase which can act as an aesthetic feature, circulation is made possible between the two floors.

D E V E LO P M E N T
November 2018 One of the earlier drafts for the restaurant extension. There was a meeting with the client to discuss his concerns and to receive feedback, which were: 1.
The general principle of having a setback volume atop the existing building was agreed.
2.
The scale, massing and materiality was generally well-received.
3.
The team will work together with an interior designer to finalise the internal layout.
4.
The client requested that the design team explored an option where the timber cladding stops at balustrade level on the first floor.
We s t E l eva t i o n
February 2019 After several meetings with the interior designer and client’s review, a proposal was finalised to submit for planning. In terms of the design, the most significant changes were to the roof, which is more costeffective and less intrusive to the surrounding urban environment as compared to the timber pergola concept. The advantages of this design are that:

Cost-efficient
3.
Scale and mass less imposing to surrounding
