MILLENIALS

(2.1) Year 3

Anemoi · Notus Year-long venture for my final year project in my 3rd year course in Singapore Polytechnic.

011

anemoi notus

012

In anticipation of the increasing adoption of flexibiity in the contemporary work cultures, this project is to investigate into the future of workspaces for the millenial generationthrough the vehicle of a serviced office.

Integrating the functonability of the space with user comfort, the design works with the given site’s environmental aspects and pursues the ideal thermal comfort to provide a condusive place to be inspired and to create.

Situated at the fringe of Chinatown area, the site lends itself into an interesting mix of activities fuelled by a large pool of small - medium sized businesses.

Sculpted in relation to the prevailing South West and East winds on site allows for an opportunity to increase comfort while maintaining high efficiency in energy consumption.

The design is targetted at Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) as a primary tenant, whereby the spaces are carved out to encourage flexible and creative collaborations.

Notus is an architecture geared towards healthy working, living and green technology.

Site

02

Site studies shows that the prevailing winds on site comes in from the southwest side and east directions. This is then taken into consideration during the designing of the spaces and massing.

03

Initial ideas revolved around having openings to the building mass to face the prevailing wind directions. This brings wind into the spaces much more efficiently.

016

Playing with a difference in air pressure also allows for wind to be generated from site, allowing efficient and cool natural wind flow to enter even on non windy days.

The building mass is trimmed to allow for wind to be channeled in much faster and more effectively due to the Bernoulli effect created with different air pressure around the massing, just like the wing of an airplane.

Parti diagrams of different building massing and its location with relation to the wind flow into the site.

The massing is then split vertically and explored in ways of improving the wind channeling into the building.

The central atrium created from the split allows for heat stack to naturally occur.

05

Interior spaces are then carved in areas to create a differenciation of air pressure in the space.

06

04

The difference in air pressure then aids the increase of speed of the air flow as the wind enters from a larger opening and exits from a smaller one.

Altering of the height and volume of interior spaces was explored.

The floor slabs are chamfered inwards from the top to create a wider space at the bottom of the atrium.

08

With a wider bottom and narrow top, naturally occuring difference in air pressure allows the warmer air at the bottom to rise up to the top, bringing in cool air from the bottom.

09

Exploratory sketches to have the higher ceiling height around the exterior facing walls along the perimeter of the floor slab, while the lower ceiling height can be along the interior facing walls.

10

Pockets of garden spaces are integrated into the planning to allow for the wind to be cooled by means of vegetation before entering the interior.

These can also act as breakout space for workers to take break from work from time to time.

022

Model is placed through a virtual wind tunnel, Flow Design, to visualise the wind and air flow into the sculptued building form.

SUMMER

SCHOOL

(2.1) Year 3

Ozetecture A 9 day long Summer School Master Class with Prolific Australian architects.

029

ozetecture

030

In September 2016, 20 students attended an International Masterclass at Pittwater, Australia. Students were mentored by award winning architects for a five day Masterclass hosted at Pittwater YHA. Tasked to design a place for contemplation in respective teams, they were immersed in nature with its panoramic views and green trails, a contrast to the concrete jungle of Singapore.

Stepping away from technology and doing everything by hand was a challenge but enriching nonetheless.

Students were encouraged to study the place through drawings, allowing them to observe nature like they had not noticed before.

The total immersion within the woods enhanced the students’ sensibilities towards a responsible response to nature.

031

032 Situated at Morning Bay Wharf, we spent a day studying the site and did hand-sketches documenting the place.

The final sketches from everyone was then collated as everyone discussed the different things they picked out from the site.

This was especially a great sharing session as there were many different styles of sketches from different perspective by different people.

036 The Hiding Place Located hidden in the dense vegetation of Pittwater, the Hiding place serves as a place of gathering for both the community and visitors arriving at morning bay. The project aims to preserve and blend in with the vast nature of the site, keeping the sense of arrival to nature from morning bay jetty intact.

.

037

ozetecture A Place of Gathering The hiding place provides a series of meeting spaces which are multifunctional. The project is tucked aside from the main path of circulation and is constructed with as little local materials as possible. This allows the project to blend in with the landscape and stay hidden away from boats on the water. A variety of spaces of gathering is provided for both the community and visitors of the place. A central sheltered space which can play host to various events and two open to sky meeting decks which can function as a look out. A fire place is also provided

so the outdoor spaces can still be used in the cold weather. The project also acts as a place of storage, allowing unused canoes and the buggy used for maintenance of the site to stowed away leaving a clear and uncluttered view of the landscape.

The night before critique day, we could consult the masters and do some final amendments.

The masters gave many comments and feedback to our group’s design and advised us to create something that was in contrast with the design.

After contemplating if our initial idea should be scraped to follow the master’s advice, we did not.

Following our initial design intent, we followed our design all the way through to critique day. We were then given many praises for sticking with our initial design and not being wavered by other’s comments.

ARCH ITECTU RE INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

(2.1) Year 3

Internship Together with fellow year 3 students, we embark on a 12 week long internship program where we learn and get exposed to the working environment.

043

internship

044

For a period of 12 weeks (14 May 2016 till 03 June 2016), I was part of MKPL Architects and the experience was was an eye opener for me.

Given the opportunity to learn from many experienced architects and designers, I gained experience not only in my various software skills, but I also had great guidance in terms of architectural design and had plenty opportunities to do hands-on learning.

It was a priviledge to be a part of some of their many projects such as; SMU SOL, Bidadari C1-C3, Bedok C8, to name a few.

One of the things I really appriciate was to be able to go on site to view the construction process, which we hardly have the chance to view in person.

Apart from software/ technical skills and on-site experiences, the program also helped me meet very knowledgeable people whom relationship with I treasure. They guided me patiently along the way and taught me valuable lessons that they themselves learnt over their many decades of working in the industry.

MKPL showed me that the working industry in architecture design is indeed tough, but it can be very fun and fruitful. I am very grateful and appriciative of the chance given to work with them.

As my colleague asks on my first and last day at work; “... the question remains... U SURE U WANT TO BE AN ARCHITECT?�

045

046

.

I enjoyed my time the most with Maria, the model maker. Being a hands-on learner and someone who loves crafting and making things, the model making process was the most satisfying part of my time spent in internship.

The process thought me many useful model making skills from modelling trees from scratch and how to quickly make building facades.

Below are some images of the model making process;

Not only did I gain valuable experience in terms of model making and site visiting, I was also exposed to software skills.

From cadding plans and elevations to photoshopping plans for submissions, I learnt many quick and efficient methods of doing things, which in turned helped me in my final year project.

Together with 3 other NUS interns in the company, we worked on a few models at once and have also stayed late nights to rush models out for clients.

047

internship

MKPL organised the Homegrown Exhibition in March 2016 in URA centre, exhibiting the various works

by Singaporean Architects. I was glad to be part of the organising team to prepare for the event and to be able to help out at the event as well.

The interaction with experienced industry partners on the day itself at the event helped me understand many things in different perspective.

We filmed at Horticulture Park.

The video was split into 3 screens, which will be projected onto 3 walls enclosing the video area in the exhibition.

To view videos scan here: MKPL was part of the Venice Architecture Biennale 2016, showcasing the exhibition: Limit/ Limitless.

And for that exibition, a video was used to exhibit the different projects MKPL has done over the years. I was asked to be part of the video and it was an interesting experience to be part of the whole exhibition!

048 I was also given the opportunity to go on site and that really broaden my perspective of the workscope, when I see drawings on site get constructed in person.

I learnt many things including 1:1 facade sample pieces, composite flooring and vermiculite coating for fire proofing, which came in handy for my steel construction project in year three.

URA My Ideas for Public Spaces Competition A group of friends and I participated in the competition held by URA to design and repurpose forgotten spaces of Singapore.

ura ¡ forgotten spaces

Final Board Submission

051

052

Publicity, an initiative by URA aims to involve the community to celebrate good public spaces and to enliven public spaces through good design and programmes.

PubliCity strives to create both new public spaces as well as rejuvenate existing ones.

URA had a competition, “My Ideas for Public Spaces”, to look for creative ideas for underused or overlooked pockets of public spaces in our city.

The competition aims to inspire people to transform forgotten spaces into something more meaningful.

The Oasis Located in the bustling central business district (CBD) area, our forgotten space is a white space between Commerce Street and Central Boulevard.

The project serves as a safe haven from the fast paced nature of the CBD area.

The retaining of trees, grass patches and addition of greens on site help soften the hard city scape. This project is targeted to both the busy white collar workers and people residing in the CBD area.

Designed to be an oasis within the CBD area, the project aims to help one escape from their hectic schedule, to serve as somewhere where they could simply unplug.

We aim to create a ‘fantasy-like’ atmosphere, relating to the forgotten days of our childhood, days where we would dream, dream of the impossible.

As we grow old, we forget to dream, we get so caught up in reality.

Hence, we aimed to transform this forgotten space into the dreams of our forgotten worlds, providing an escape from reality.

“To turn surreal dreams into inhabitable space.” – Bjarke Ingels

The Site The site is a green field located in between Commerce Street and Central Boulevard. It is a white space with no activities or functions. People do not cross the site however human circulation is high around the perimeter of the site. This white space has much potential as it is a big open space in a built up area.

056

Bringing back the tough times in our youth, we always dreamt of having our very own hideout, a treehouse of somesorts, to run away to when things get hard.

A place where we can escape the hectic and bustling city temporarily, an Oasis to go to, for shelter.

.

057

ura · forgotten spaces

The Oasis Hoping to bring the Oasis to the CBD, we wanted to create a space for the working adults to escape to for a break when work gets hard. Fundamentally, we wanted to create an elevated place of solace.

Transforming the treehouse into a water feature allows the already solitute treehouse into an even more calming place of escape.

The tree sculpture contains a spiral stair core which is cladded over with organic tree trunk saped panels. A water feature and glass slopes go around the base of the sculpture. The side facing the amphitheatre seats is an events platform. The sculpture also acts as a visual attraction.

While walking through each of these passageways, its cosy width and unintimidating height, daylight that sneaks in through the vines and visible glimpse of the outside would allow its users to gently transition into the “fantasy-like” space which beckons to them at the end of the passageway. To users, these passageways will feel like tunnels that bring them to another world where they could relax and let go of their previous fast-paced, hectic CBD atmosphere.

058

Many exisitng large trees were located at the edge of the site, which we would want to retain them and re-purpose them as well.

As the trees’ canopy naturally provides a cooling shade to the otherwise open warm afternoon site, we wanted to create a resting place where people can gather and rest.

The lunch crowd from Lao Pa Sat next door could also potentially overspill into this space, acting as an extended outdoor dining experience.

Similar to the Henderson Waves, we made use of simple arched timber as the seating.

Elevated and hollow, the seating structure is constructed with minimal disturbance to the tree’s roots.

03

The rows of seating are terrace-shaped which seemed to protrude out of the existing natural topography of the site.

The platforms are arranged at different levels to allow commuters have their freedom to choose where they want to sit. The range of levels also provide them the different environment and views of the stage.

Located in the first satellite high-rised building (HDB) estate in Singapore, Queenstown has one of the highest proportions of the elderly aged 65 and above.

As part of urban renewal efforts, newer developments in Dawson located in Princess Estate has atteacted many younger generations to move into this area in the 2000s.

Amalganate Residences was designed and planned with the hopes to create a point of union for the different generations of people living in the estate, as well as the architecture of the new and old.

The planning creates opportunities for bonding between the younger and older generations, while maintaining personal privacy for both.

As the design pays tribute to the many iconic landmarks in Commonwealth, Queenstown.

The units are planned with the studio apartments (targetted at elderlies) next to the 3/4 bedroom units (targetted at young married couples).

This brings families closer, while maintaining the personal privacy both requires.

The units can also be joint to form a 3-Gen unit where the family can live together.

May 2017 - May 2020 Wanting to explore more into the Interior Design industry after attaining my Diploma in Architecture, I ventured out to join Silverfox Studios.

Bridge walkway to Silverfox Studios

Being a hands-on learner myself, I feel particularly intrigued and passionate to learn more about the textiles and details of a space. This lead me to be part of the Furniture, Fixtures and Equiptment (FF&E) team as a Junior Designer.

My curiosity led me to further take initiative to propose ideas and eventually taking responsibility of the whole design process. Witht he trust and assitance from my bosses, I was not only able to do selections of material and finishes of the interior, but also take on much more important roles such as corresponding directly with clients, on-site factory inspections, shop drawing approvals/ sign offs.

This section showcases the projects that I was involved in over the span of my three years with Silverfox Studios.

The branch was designed with the simplicity and intricacy of art gallery spaces in mind.

Spacial planning flexibility was an important feature as the branch was intended to be used as a gallery space after working hours, creating an evolving art gallery at night.

The walls are designed to be placed like layers of movable partition on tracks.

Furniture selection is kept simple yet fun, with accent splashes of colours.

The Hyatt Centric brand is unique to its destination, hoping to bring the local food and culture to the guests, including hidden gems that only locals will know about.

Thus the design is heavily derived from the unique elements picked up from the site. Making this uniquely Xiamen.

Main design drivers were; the hidden alleyways, Zhong Shan Road, Ceng Cuo An Food Street, Bin Hai Guesthouses, Ceng Mountain and the beach.

Xiamen is covered with foilage and greens, which is also implemented into the design. Local materials were also implemented, fully integrating the new hotel with the current site.

Aiming to achieve a seamless interior and exterior connection, the main design direction for the interior conceptual thinking has been derived from two essential project components; The building design and conceptual philosophies, including the Building Architectural layering and references to yacht profiling, as well as the flowing forms and change in finish for the exterior and interior layers of the balcony facade.

As well as the site location and aspect focus on the beach sea interface, the floating flowing forms from beneath the structure relate to the sea, yacht narrative.

Comprising of 2 F&B projects, Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong was more of a renovation/ reconstruction of their two reknowed brands, Mandarin Oriental Bar and Man Wah Chinese Restaurant.

Highly influenced by an English illustrator, Aubrey Beardley, Mandarin Oriental (MO) Bar was designed to have a european styled interior with wall and ceiling paneling, intergated with Japanese styled FF&E. Located just next to MO Bar was the Man Wah chinese restaurant. The design is very bold and modern, focusing mainly on the architectural finishes and spacial planning.

The Londoner, Macau, was undergoing a renovation and we were involved in 2 F&B Projects in that development; Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill Restaurant (GRP), and Tim Ho Wan (THW).

GRP was heavily influenced with the development in mind, having the strong sense of London and keeping in mind the authenticity of the furniture and the materials used.

Iconic London brick slip tiles to UK emblem flag chesterfield chairs are carefully introduced.

The original iconic Hong Kong dimsum stores and elements were integrated into the new outlet as we were hoping to keep the origins of dimsum, while maintaining the modernised interior.

Having worked on the project since the beginning concept stages all the way through till specifications, I carried on to coordinate with the clients directly and checked through shopdrawings while providing a sign-off if applicable.

I then got the chance to coordinate and be a part of on-site factory inspections, for both architectural mockups as well as furniture mock-ups. This marks the first of my business trip.

A conservation refurbishment for the F&B located at The Peak, Hong Kong.

The project requires the design to adapt to the current as-build architecture and to minimise new construction works.

The main design driver was the environment itself, and how it was engulfed by foilage. The journey up to the peak inspired the design, brining in the lush foilage into the gardens and semi-open spaces.

Metamorphosis, “A Transforming”. To change shape in a seamless way. To control, distort, wring.

Taking inspiration from Zaha Hadid’s book, “Form in Motion and her architecture, the fluidity of the form, stationary but always in movement.

The parametric lattice also brings fluidity and movement into the space and it further inspires the spacial planning.

One of my first few projects in the firm, Hyatt Lingshui is a fun family themed hotel.

Located by the oceanpark theme park, the hotel is themed with characters and elements of the sea.

The design narrative outlines a story of the characters leaving the waters up to shore, thus different elements of the hotel represent each part of the journey up to shore.

The mock-up guestroom falls under the Corals and Shallow Waters stheme.
