My growing passion for architecture contributes to my studies and career as an Architect in Malaysia. With every new experience I gained, my devotion to the world of architecture has only deepened. During my time as an architecture student in Malaysia, I opened myself to learn as much as possible regarding my passion. I also put myself on the forefront of various school activities to prepare myself for the real world by building interactions, connections, relationships as well as self-confidence. As an Architect with a fair amount of professional experience, I believe that by pushing myself to perform at the best and upmost of my ability, I will be able to grow my passion and desires while at the same time, increase my knowledge and skills to hopefully accomplish my goal of being a certified architect.

SELECTED STUDENT WORKS

everytime a student walks past a really urgent, expressive piece of architecture that belongs to his college, it can help reassure him that he does have that mind, does have that soul. - Louis Kahn

KEDAH BUSINESS INCUBATOR Program Bsc. Arch (Part I) Project Level Year 3 Semester 2 [2011/2012] Project Period 14 weeks Project Type Individual The main idea of the project is to design an institute that helps to promote and assist small local business enterprises in order to expand and improve their business. The institute will provide facilities and assistance to the business while promoting the local product not only to locals but even tourists alike. The idea is to create a platform for these upcoming businesses who may struggle without the proper guidance. The site sits on the river bank in a growing urban setting, creating a unique opportunity to incorporate several elements into the design. The building will not only cater the businesses, it will also provide shelter, facilities and an urban space for the public masses as a way to create a new landmark within the city. 3

THE TRANSLUCENCE OF BUSINESSES... By adapting existing small businesses around the area, the main purpose of the business incubator is to provide support and facility to enhance these small businesses so that they may expand and further establish their businesses and create success through their own personal effort

The modules for each businesses is first collected together.

The modules are then covered with a translucent outer protective layer "veil"

The "veil" is then extended outward to create a pathway for permeability.

The "veil" is then covered with greens as a more sustainable approach.

The roof is cut open to create a skylight which allows natural light to penetrate.

'VEIL' AS A PROTECTION... As an attempt to further highlight these businesses to the local masses, the business incubator is designed to be like a veil; with the idea of " A translucent layer that covers the object to provide protection but allows permeability ".

BASIC FORM

KOTA DAMANSARA AFFORDABLE HOUSING Program BArch (Part II) Project Level Year 1 Semester 1 [2012/2013] Project Period 14 weeks Project Type Individual Housing projects is always something designed to specifically suit the needs of a human being while providing aesthetics and functional purposes at the same time. Designing an affordable housing scheme, on the other hand, adds another layer to the overall design process. The cost factor impacts the overall intention and direction of a housing scheme. Stripping down the elements of a house to serve only the basic needs while still maintaining the functional aspect of the house is a challenge for the project. The success of this project depends on the harmonious combination of both the human sensibility and the humility of a home. 9

FREE FLEXIBLE LIVING... Affordable housing usually limits the tenant with a small and restricted space due to the cost constraint. Introducing a flexible lifestyle into each of the units will allow more freedom and flexibility for the tenants as they can play with the unit's space modification system to create a space that suits their needs.

FOLD

FLIP

LIGHTWEIGHT

Foldable partitions are introduced as doors and walls for easy space management.

Flip furnitures as part of the house to create a larger space when not in used.

Lightweight cabinet as a wall / separator which can be easily removed when needed.

PRIVATE COMMUNAL LIVING... Living in high density housing usually means you are living in a controlled community. This community, which are made up of the residents, are supposed to be a luxurious commodity considering the advancing world nowadays which limits physical and live interactions between the residents.

FOCAL POINT

VERTICAL

VARIETY

The communal space is placed in an accessible focal area.

The area is spread to several floors, creating vertical interactions.

Each communal space differs to create a variety of forms.

DATARAN ODEON OFFICE TOWER Program BArch (Part II) Project Level Year 1 Semester 2 [2012/2013] Project Period 14 weeks Project Type Individual This particular project poses an interesting challenge of merging a new architecture with an old existing building on-site. The building in particular, Odeon Cinema, is a national heritage listed building. Therefore, the conservation of the building is essential to the whole development. The site of the tower is located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, creating a limitless potential for an iconic building within the cityscape. Hence, not only is the harmonious blend of old and new architecture is important but the success of the combination will help to create an iconic building that can represent the image of Kuala Lumpur as a growing urban architecture scene. 15

CONNECTION THROUGH PUBLIC SPACES... The strategic location of the site to be a prime advantage in creating an iconic landmark that provides a good public space in connecting the corporate and exclusive to the general public. The connection through the public space also creates a fluid integration between the elements existing on the site. SITE

PUSH

The site provides multiple vehicular and pedestrian flow that focus on the site, creating dynamism.

The blocks are pushed back further front the main street to create a large open space as a public square.

BASIC FORM

ROTATE

A rectangular tower is erected facing all the four main axis of the site.

The blocks are rotated to create a tunnel effect which further enhance the axis an enlarge the public square.

SPLIT

CONNECT

The two blocks are then connected on several levels as a special space which will attract visitors.

The tower block is split in the middle to create a stronger main axis that allows penetration between blocks.

It will also provide the public with the alternative of hanging out in a different area instead of the public square in front of SOGO which is always packed with people. It also compliments the whole site as the strategic location proves to be an advantage.

FORM

ENTRANCE

A simple rectangular block is divided into three zone for ease of layout arrangement.

The middle zone is raised to highlight the building core from the other area.

The middle zone is then angled to create a more dynamic form.

The side zone is angled conversely to compliment the middle zone.

The first three floors on the front is cleared, creating a void to highlight the entrance.

WELD QUAY SENTRAL TRANSPORTATION HUB Program BArch (Part II) Project Level Year 2 [2013/2014] Project Period 14 weeks Project Type Individual This project was conceived with the intention of improving the current state of public transportation in the island state of Penang. The hub will aim to combine and integrate three main transportation systems on the island; the historic ferry system, the current statewide bus system and the proposed returning heritage friendly tram system. By combining these three systems, it will cover the full island network, helping tourists to get by the island more easily. By replacing the current dilapidated jetty, the new transportation hub will be the new focal point of the transportation network that runs throughout Penang Island. Not only will it be more functional, it will be an iconic landmark of the island. 21

WELD QUAY, GEORGETOWN... The location of the site has a potential for integration between the two existing terminals as an introduction of a new tram station due to its close proximity to Georgetown and the UNESCO World Heritage Site. The existing taxi stop which attracted a lot of taxis has also added the potential of a possible transportation hub which could integrate several mode of transportation.

VISUAL GATEWAY... The main concept of the proposed transportation hub is to transform the old jetty into a new grand entrance to Penang while integrating the several existing and proposed transportation systems into a single efficient functioning hub. By turning the terminal into a "gateway" as a node for the city, it will enhance the value of the ferry as a tourist attraction. The gateway will also be able to integrate all the transportation system into a single fluid hub. By designing the transportation hub as a visual gateway, it will create a memorable space for the visitors to experience while both arriving and departing the island. It will also act as a node for the city where people will gather before travelling into or out of the city. This will require for the hub to be equipped with abundant of open public space, further enhancing not only the hub as a building but also each transportation system as a viable option for travelling.

CHECKPOINT

ROOF

The current jetty only act as a checkpoint for the visitors before dispersing into the city.

The new terminal will act as a node for the visitors to experience before dispersing into the city.

The terminal is split to create a physical gateway for the visitors to pass through.

By placing a curved roof, it will enhance both visually and physically the idea of a gateway.

CONVERGE

ACCESS

The terminal will be the point of convergence for both people coming in and going out.

By splitting the terminal, the human traffic will be managed more efficiently.

Each block will then be integrated into different unique transportation systems.

The additional blocks will be placed on lower level to ease accessibility from ground level.

CASUARINA PANGKOR RESORT Office / Employer S&A Architects Sdn. Bhd. Client Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Perak Project Stage Tender Documentation The whole development consists of multiple building parts that mainly made up the whole resort. The building parts, which represent several uses is essential in the making of a complete resort. The resort is design to be a top class resort in Pangkor Island that could provide the guest with privacy, intimacy and comfort at the most optimal level. With complete facilities to cater the guests, the resort is designed as the ultimate tropical getaway for both the locals and tourists. The multiple components of the whole development allows the project to be arranged based on several factors ranging from the flow of visitors movement, public and private spaces, use of building components etc. 32

Project Involvement Schematic Design Phase - To come up with the design proposal from sketches, diagrams, concept up to full schematics ready for presentation. Design Development Phase - To prepare the working drawing up to the standard of submission for authority submission. - To liaise with other consultants and the authority to submit for Building Plan Approval.

PARADISE GETAWAY... The whole idea of this proposal is to create a resort that could provide the ultimate comfort and intimacy for the guests. Therefore, to provide privacy is the main intention of the design while still maintaining the intimacy and openness of the spaces to ensure comfort and a suitable ambience of the whole development. Segregation of the spaces and buildings are integral in ensuring the smoothness of transitions as well as the overall interaction between guests, staffs and the environment.

SEGREGATE

ARRANGE

OPTIMIZING VIEW

The main access to the site is the starting point to segregate the site into three main area defined as public, semi-private and private.

The building components are arranged based on the zoning and each building is placed strategically for ease of access and view optimizing.

Since the site is gradually sloping up against the ocean, each building components are spaced accordingly so that they don't block the view of the units behind them, allowing everyone to enjoy the view.

OPEN INTIMACY... The main building will be the main component of the whole resort. Hence, the building will need to be welcoming while providing comfort and privacy for the resort guests. The idea of open intimacy is where the guests is allowed to freely roam around the open space while keeping it secluded from the interference of the outside world.

BASIC IDEA

DIVIDE

ELONGATED

WATER

The idea of an entrance towards an open view, the ocean, is the main idea of the building.

The spaces are divided into three blocks with the connecting bridge being treated as open space.

The end block is elongated to allow connection with other components as well as access to the beach.

The elongated block is split into two to create more open spaces while adding water feature.

CASUARINA TAIPING HOTEL Office / Employer S&A Architects Sdn. Bhd. Client Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Perak Project Stage BP Approval The proposed site sits on the lakeside of the famous lake gardens of Taiping, Perak. The site contains twelve heritage columns that need to be preserve which creates the potential for the hotel design to incorporate classical colonial architecture elements weaved with contemporary spaces to blend with the surrounding buildings and environment. The whole aura of the design is intended to bring back nostalgic memories of the place which is not only rich in cultural history, but also contains a strong sense of community. Utilizing these elements of the site, the hotel will evoke the perfect blend of nostalgia and belonging to the surrounding community. 40

HERITAGE REVISIT... Taiping is a town full of cultural and historical significance. To truly reflect and represent the characteristics of Taiping, the hotel is design with the influence of colonial architecture that dominates the town of Taiping. By incorporating the visual and physical traits of colonial architecture, the hotel will immensely blend with the surrounding to create a more natural setting to the whole environment. The spatial arrangement of each individual space are also strategically arrange to further enhance the nostalgic aura of the whole development through open walkways, staggered spaces and arched corridors.

PERAK AGRICULTURE CENTER Office / Employer S&A Architects Sdn. Bhd. Client Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Perak Project Stage Design Proposal The whole proposal for the Perak Agriculture Center revolves around the idea of highlighting the importance of nature by incorporating several strategies such as blending the building with the surrounding environment, uses of natural material, implementation of various foliage around the building, as well as representing the building with natural imageries. The whole idea of the building is to bring people closer to the idea of nature via space planning and the use of landscape design to highlight the importance of nature and agriculture to the world. This is so that the building does not looks out of place from its surrounding, creating a blending architecture. 46

Project Involvement Schematic Design Phase - To come up with the design proposal from sketches, diagrams, concept up to full schematics ready for presentation. -To develop the schematics up to presentation standard based on the conceptual sketches and requirement of by-laws.

BLENDING NATURE THROUGH SPACES... Using nature as inspiration, the building uses the idea of a tree, originating from a single trunk and branching out to several branches, the building uses that idea to obtain its main form. The utilization of nature as inspiration allows for each individual spaces to be personally designed to be interacting with each other and its surrounding. The building is designed to blend with its surrounding so that each space seamlessly transitions into the external environment. This ensures the users to experience the building as it intended, through nature.

TREE BRANCH

BASIC FORM

EXTRUDE

From the basic idea of a single trunk branching out, the building utilizes this idea to strengthen the intended notion of using nature as inspiration.

The idea is then translated into building form where there is a single entrance point before branching out into multiple wings with their own view.

The main block is then extruded to signify it as the building core while creating a unique visual as the building entrance.

VARIATION

OPEN VOID

MATERIALS

The remaining wings is then extruded with alternately with variations throughout several floors to give it a more random overall feel.

The several open area created through the variations is the converted into open green space to further highlight the nature idea of the building.

The use of natural materials such as raw concrete, timber and creepers will help to create a more natural building which blends with the surrounding.

OSK TOWER RESIDENTIAL APARTMENT Office / Employer T&T Architects Sdn. Bhd. Client OSK Properties Project Stage BP Approval The OSK Tower is a residential apartment that during its proposal, is aimed to be the highest residential tower in Malaysia. The residential tower, standing at 80 storeys, will house approximately 1,200 apartment units with three levels of commercial component on the ground floor. Being located right in the heart of Kuala Lumpur City Centre, the tower is surrounded by iconic landmarks and recognizable buildings such as the Petronas Twin Towers and KL Tower. Therefore, the idea of creating a unique tower that stands out from the sea of skyscrapers is important while maintaining the essential elements that made up a residential tower. 52

HUMANS MADE A NATION... The main intention of the proposal is to create a truly iconic building which could represent not only the city of Kuala Lumpur but also the nation of Malaysia. With that in mind, the tower will represent the idea of what made a nation where the residents, as humans, is the DNA. The tower therefore, is the chromosome that houses the DNA, creating a genetic diversity. From here on, the proposed tower will utilize the characteristics of a chromosome in its design.

ZERO-LOT BUNGALOWS Office / Employer T&T Architects Sdn. Bhd. Client S P Setia Project Stage Design Proposal Zero-lot Bungalows are a landed house typology where a semi-detached house is laid out on site but instead of mirrored, it is repeated, pushing the house to one side of its lot to create a bungalow-like house typology. This method allows the house to have the privilege of a bungalow house while maintaining the size and cost of a smaller semi-detached house. To create a unique identity for the whole development, the houses are designed using the style of an old Victorian English house. By bringing back the classic architecture style, the house will evoke a sense of calm and tranquility that is often being associated with the old nostalgic style. 60

OLD STYLE NEW LAYOUT... Using old Victorian English style architecture does not mean that the internal layout needs to be outdated. By adapting the old style into a modern layout, it will allow for a more modern lifestyle within the house. The merging of these two characteristics forms the basis of the design. Users are able to enjoy to the open and simple plan of a modern layout while experiencing the intricacy and detailing of an old Victorian English architecture.

PERSONAL SAFEKEEPING... A Bilum Bag is a traditional hand-made string bag that originated from Papua New Guinea. The bag is made through a "knotless looping" crochet method. A Bilum Bag is traditionally used to carry and safekeep a wide variety of items from large goods to personal items. Mothers even used it to carry their babies. By incorporating the idea of the Bilum Bag as a traditional safekeeping device for their precious items, the Fincorp Headquarters will represent the company as the best safekeeping method for the people of Papua New Guinea by replicating the essence of a Bilum Bag and representing it to the people.

FORM

LIFT

SPLIT

The basic form of the building is extracted from the idea of the bilum bag. With a larger bottom representing the bag itself, the tall tower will represent the handle.

The bottom portion of the building, the podium, is lifted above ground by using a smaller ground floor plinth. This will create a floating illusion to the building.

The tower is then split into two to give an illusion of two separate towers. By doing so, it will help to create a more flexible office space leasing options.

STAGGER

OPEN VOID

SCREEN

One tower is then lowered to create a more dynamic form. The staggered form also represents the rise of Fincorp as the top financial institution.

The towers are then cut open at different places to create open spaces for sky garden. These spaces will help break the tower into different segments.

A secondary skin is added to the building to act as a sunshading device/screen. The screen form and texture will also enhance the building visually.
