GARDEN ORIENTATION TO RECEIVE MAXIMUM SUNLIGHT
NESTING OF SPACES With the nesting of living and interior spaces within the larger garden in the apartment units, the apartment comprises of 3 layers. Residents can look out into any direction and find themselves surrounded by nature, as though living in a garden.The living spaces created are hence very open, with visual connections to neighbours if one chooses to open up all the windows. Yet, privacy is attained as each unit is only accessible by a bridge and is isolated with voids right outside the unit.
EXTENSION OF LAYERS The layers of greenery then extends to the corridor whereby it forms the fourth layer of greenery that wraps around the whole building as a green facade. This layering concept is also further brought out by the layers of public gardens on the terraces of the building. The public garden is a place for people to gather in a natural and vibrant environment, also giving residents a sanctuary as they reside in their apartments, wrapped in greenery.
1960s
1840s
HDB took over SIT and started to develop Toa Payoh and build HDB flats. This unoccupied plot of land was an ideal place to host travelling Trade fairs and Fun fairs that gather the people.
Toa Payoh is mainly forest and swamp, with a few scattered plots of cleared land (likely plantations) in the north and south of the district.
1900s
1970
By the early 1900s, a number of landowners had moved their plantations to more fertile soil elsewhere. In its wake, settlers arrived and organised themselves into kampungs with Attap houses.
The Great Royal Circus of India came to Toa Payoh in 1970 and was an exciting event that attracted and gathered the residents of Toa Payoh.
The Public Garden is an opportunity to give back to the estate a space that had been barren since a previous grassfire. Bringing back the spirit of a public gathering space full of fun and vibrancy, the public garden uses terraces leading to sunken plazas and retail to draw people in and provide spaces for people to congregate in a place full of greenery and nature. Voids are punctured through the ground floor to create a series of courtyards that wraps around the residential buildings, allowing trees to penetrate through from the basement retail. This also provides ample natural lighting and ventilation for the commercial areas below. Residential units are also centered around living in a garden. By nesting the living space and interior rooms within the enlarged garden for each unit, the walls are cut such that residents are able to see nature and be constantly surrounded by them.This layering effect gradually expands to the corridor area whereby it forms the fourth layerof greenery, with thin steel cables suspended between each level that allows wispy creepers form the planters to grow and surround the residents.

PART PLAN 1:75
1970s A large grass fire occured on this plot of land during a dry spell in the early 1970s. It was then left unoccupied until recently purchased for private residential developments.
NOW To bring back the essence of what this space has been to the residents of Toa Payoh, the project will aim to create a public garden for the people to meet and interact. It will become the secondary activity centre of Toa Payoh with spaces for flea markets and an informal performance area.

LEVEL 1 PLAN
The project ‘Our Sanctuary’, is an apartment unit designed for multi-generational families, aiming to create a collaborative living space that nurtures daily intimacy while honouring each person’s need for sanctuary. The concept of the design is to utilise outdoor spaces to create personal spaces for the people in the family as they escape through an outdoor space into their own retreat. As such, a large part of everyone’s personal space in the house is made up of outdoor space and they enter their bedroom through their own personal garden. This concept of walking through an outdoor space to enter their rooms is also applied to the design of the apartment on a larger scale whereby the family walks through semi outdoor spaces filled with greenery before they enter the house. These green buffer spaces along the corridors also tries to bring the outer landscape of Bras Basah into the house through very large and porous windows as the members of the family walks through the layers of green landscape as they enter their sanctuary that is their home.

2015 CORE STUDIO 2 PROJECT
This project aims to create a satellite campus/extension to the current SUTD campus that embodies the spirit of the Singapore University of Technology and design. The core of SUTDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s education is the aspect of design and this is emphasised in the concept of this building by allowing art and science to physically and symbolically intertwine and intersect to represent the idea of design. The programs are also categorised according to these three categories of Art Design and Science. The building is largely naturally ventilated and populated with greenery to symbolise the essence of sustainability in all our designs.
004 URBAN AND NATURAL CONTEXT ONE NORTH
2014 CORE STUDIO 1 PROJECT
In an aim to design a building closely connected to the natural environment around it, the design finds its form by branching and reaching towards the forest while wrapping around it. It accomodates for a library, cafe, auditorium and exhibition area for exhibits related to architecture.

Urban farming, by definition, is the practice of cultivating, processing and distributing food in or around a village, town or city. The idea of farming in a residential complex manifests in a central void that winds through the building. It serves not only as a platform to house the agriculture, but also as the core communal space that contains all the different programs like shared cooking facilities, food processing areas, communal work spaces, seminar rooms, a learning centre and even a food centre. This urban farming park then becomes a social glue that bonds the residents. By growing the food they eat or sell together, residents will grow to be more interdependent within the community, cultivating a sense of family and belonging. It is in essence, a self sustainable city that allows for the residents to grow agriculture and grow closer to each other.
