Ancillary Dwelling Proposal
Architectural professional proect delivery - Curtin (Open University
Tasked to create drawing sets to be approved by the City of Canning, for a 2 bedroom ancillary building located in the suburb of Riverton for fictive clients to be used as a student lodging but that could potentially house an aging family member.
Focusing on a passive design, the living, dining and kitchen area was placed in the northern side for winter sun gain optimisation and placing the bedroom away from the main existing building creating more private area for both. Storage was optimised with floor to ceiling custom design cabinetry in the entrance area, kitchen and bedrooms.
The dwelling was future proofed by having flush flooring and ample space to move around furniture to accommodate an elderly person easily. Using AutoCAD, I rendered design schematics and created different models following customer specifications and timelines. Upon accepting the final designs I developed blueprints whilst ensuring the project adheres to codes and regulations.

Mixed Use Development
Architectural professional proect delivery - University of Western Australia
This design was my last project for my degree program while at university. We were tasked to design a two storey development to cater for a café on the ground floor and an architect’s firm on the first floor.
Adhering to the codes and regulations (NCC and R-codes) throughout the schematic process helped design the blueprints appropriately. My aim was to create open and inviting spaces on both levels, where the customers or staff would be able to view the existing established trees and beautiful neighbouring views from all angles

Interior Design Assignments and Research
SketchUp Residential Project
Sydney Design School
The assignment for this project was to create a double storey addition at the rear of an existing Victorian cottage including a light weight glass link. The first floor needed to be a mezzanine and the outdoor living space was to be designed as a terrace and stairs with all the amenities and comfort used in a luxury outdoor space. An overall free range to the amount of opening and textures for the whole project was to be had. As a result, I was mindful of the location of rooms and their openings to help create a passive and environmentally friendly design. The design I chose for this addition was of a modern look outside that contrasts with the traditional Victorian brick house with a Victorian accent styling indoors to have a subtle reference to the original house.
Interior perspective views
To create an indoor-outdoor experience in the bathroom I selected fogged glass panels to maximise natural light and views from the bathtub. Creating a tranquil and serene environment with the choice of floor to ceiling dark textured tiles. The wood and black accents also help with the sophistication of the room.
The creation of a terrace feel in the master bedroom helps bringing nature in with a cascading indoor plants at the edge of the balustrade, creating a relaxed view from the bed area and office desk. Downstairs, the way the open living area was designed with the glass doors that fully opens on both sides helps invites you to the outdoor living space, the perfect indoor-outdoor living scenario.
Custom Kitchen Joinery
Part of the SketchUp assignment was to create a custom joinery of our choice, my eagerness to design kitchens pushed me to create this functional layout that could have ample room for a family to comfortably have a casual meals at the island bench. Although there is ample storage areas with generous amount of cabinetry and drawers below and overhead, and the layout seems functional, I am aware that is still a schematic design and there could be functionality issues that I am yet to learn of.
The colour scheme and materials’ choice was made to match the original Victorian style house, bringing a subtle reference.
Using a window splash back is a personal preference, to enhance the indoor-outdoor feel even while doing the dishes or meal preparation.

Teak wood furniture, chrome lamps, simple & prac cal furniture like the Eames’s designs and bright accent of colours were the main characteris cs of this style.

The garage ’ s need to become a gym space. He wants the area to be vibrant and l ght, it also needs to have a natural and calm feel. Also something n the shades of green with a natural tone to it. He also l kes wooden colours/tones.
Proposed Colour Scheme
Proposed colour scheme is a Yellow-Green simple analogus scheme.
My suggestion is to use a shaded Mid-Green, which is the Dulux Plasticine for the exercise equipment matts beneath heavy equipment. While some of the equipment could also have little dashes of Yellow-Green, wh ch I selected the Dulux Lime Parfait. Parts of other light equipment could be of the Dulux Celery Green, a shaded yellow hue.
Us ng these colours n such way would make the space more fun and help keep the colours w thin the selected scheme. The hues selected are to be used subtly throughout the room along with light neutral colours so as not to have an over powering or clashing effect, mak ng the room too bright or overwhelming.
I believe using the simple analogous scheme in the yellow-green tones will help the space appear more open and fresh. Keeping n the client’s wishes to have some references to nature.

Colour Psychology
Lounge room - warm and inviting -Light brown
Dining room - lively and energising - Grey reduced red
Bedroom - tranquil and soothing -Navy blue
- calm and focused - Blue-Green
The Light brown - Hogs Bristle Quarter was chosen due to it’s warm, friendly, welcoming and honest feel it projects
The Navy Blue - Harpoon was chosen g ven that blues have the characteristic of slowing the heart rate, reducing muscular tension and of slowing breathing, hence creating a tranquil and sooth ng space
Study
The Grey reduced red - Red Stop was chosen for the dining room to help enhance the lively and energising feel as red is believed to increase the blood fl ow and stimulate gastronomic juices.
The Blue-Green - Submarine helps put forward the calm and focused feel needed for a study as emerald green is known to help cool calm and reassure people who uses the space, creat ng the perfect study ng environment
