About Me , RONDOM MUSIC School
I approached architecture with the only interest in drawings since I loved sketching since I was a child. Having known so little about architecture, my journey as an apprentice is filled with curiosity and new challenges.
As of now, I have witnessed the true beauty and power of architecture, the impact it has on time & space, people's lives, emotions, and our livelihood while remaining aestheti�cally pleasing given the designer’s unconstrained creativity.
My main goal as a future architect, is to elevate the imple�mentation of Cambodian rich but dissipating culture into the soul of the design, embracing the local materials and identity, combining them with the sustainable technology of the old and the past to preserve not only our culture but also our endangered environment.
Expanding my horizon correlated with architecture is crucial to achieving this vision. Through my curiosity and dedication, I will be able to accomplish tasks that were set, undoubtedly.

The existing layout has some components of the 60s such as the yellow and red colour combination on the wall and columns. Thus, to elevate the initial space, we implemented exciting colors such as blue, green, more red...
To adapt to the previous style. These colours are applied throughout the whole design, from furniture to wall, carpet to ceilings.
This small budget design will improve the space's function and quality for the occupants.wall, carpet to ceilings.

THE MAKING
JATO PARK
Royal Palace's riverside has one of the best view in Phnom Penh city. The intersection between river and land create a phenomenal landscape that attracts tourist all year round. Despite the locating in between the riverbreeze and the amazing architetural structures, a lot of the space are not used to its fullest potential due to known factors. Our project aims to improve the quality of spaces of our chosen site based on its context to revamp our riverside as a whole.
Jato Park is inspired from the intersection between 4 rivers in front of the site: Tonle sap river, Bassacc river, Upper and lower Mekong river. Specifically, Jatomuk River.

Commission a restaurant project
The final result of the initial option omitted the VIP room, reallocating the space for an outdoor barista area and expanding the seating capacity. Kitchen modifications involved enlarging spaces between appliances, enhancing accessibility. Additionally, the landscaping was revised, reducing plantations to grass. This redesign prioritized an outdoor barista zone over the VIP room, optimizing the restaurant's layout for increased seating and improved functionality in the kitchen. The transition from extensive plantations to grass aimed to simplify landscaping, offering a more manageable and streamlined green space for the establishment.

Update
Commission , 16
The enclosed version of the restaurant offers outdoor seating for patrons desiring natural airflow. Enclosed within glass partitions, it relies on appliances like air conditioning and ceiling fans for ventilation. The indoor water feature was removed to maximize serving space. This adaptation prioritized outdoor seating while utilizing glass partitions to maintain the indoor environment, providing a choice for guests seeking fresh air and refreshments within a climate-controlled interior setting.

The Choueng Ek Pavilion serves as a memorial, aiming to evoke awareness of the immense hardships endured by the Cambodian people during the Khmer Rouge regime. It stands as a poignant tribute to the millions of lives lost during that tragic period. The conceptual foundation of this memorial pavilion intertwines with the principles of the Bauhaus style, emphasizing functionality, simplicity, and emotional expression.
ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY COURSE
Project 23
By seamlessly marrying the profound concept of remembrance with the Bauhaus design ethos, the pavilion endeavors to create a distinctive and thought-provoking architectural experience for visitors. This synthesis of ideas not only seeks to pay homage to the historical significance of Choueng Ek but also aims to engage visitors on a visceral level, prompting reflection and emotional resonance. Through the amalgamation of these concepts, the pavilion becomes a powerful medium to convey the gravity of the Cambodian people's past and invite contemplation on the universal themes of loss and resilience
