TULIP PROJECT
Project type: Mixed Use Development Location: Holland Village, Singapore Year: 2015 - 2016
Project Tulip forms a unique destination as it is designed with a strong blue-green connection that is be formed through the implementation of sustainable design. Aiming to reconnect people and communities with water through the interweaving of Flora, Fauna and Aqua.
Page 13 | 02 Tulip Project
This further enhanced through the inclusion of communities from future developments, where an overall seamless integration is created. The self sufficient and diverse landscape will attract residents to the surrounding areas, keeping them in close touch to nature. This landscape proposal seeks to further explore themes where water and nature plays a big role in the development process.
02 | STRATEGIES
STUDYING THE SITE With a comprehensive strategy based on sustainability, the mix-used building cluster in designed to enhance the existing vernacular architecture of Holland Village. At the same time, sustainable design solutions are provided through the integration of strong visual and physical connectivity between the site and her surroundings.
TYPICAL PLANTING SCHEME Sparsed opened planting schemes have been proposed to create a tropical setting by the pool. Experiencing the cool wind breeze creates a unique relaxing atmosphere.
The pedestrian footpath and bicycle path are separated by different paving materials. Trees with wide and sparse forms are chosen not only to offer shade and aesthetic visuals to the residents.
Large open space forms a play space for users to enjoy a nice picnic within nature. In addition, trees with dense canopy are planted closely together to shield away the noise

VILLAGE CENTRE ENTRANCE Decorated with beautiful roof structures that not only create a wonderful aesthetic experience but provide shelter from the rain and sun. Allowing light to penetrate gives off a comfortable environment. The Shading structures is one of the main feature within the mall creates a great aesthetic appeal.
GARDEN MALL VIEW Bringing in nature to the urban setting be immersed with the lush greenery within the mall. Enjoying the little mixture of Urban with nature. Shading structures with creepers, creates a great aesthetic appeal to users. As well as the linear misty lighting that paves your way through the streets of the mall.
RESIDENCE POOL VIEW The residence pool is equip with a infinity pool edge with a natural water wall. Over looking the vegetated terrace garden with a little sheltered pavilions for residents to rest after a stroll in the park. The pool water is channeled through natural conveyance and cleanse before entering the pool.
STREETSCAPE HYDROLOGY Water Sensitive Urban Design elements are incorporated in vegetated area cleanse the water entering in from conventional drainage system surrounding the site. Vegetated swales act as natural conveyance network, channeling rain water from the developments flourishing a natural habitat for biodiversity.

PENANG SOUTH RECLAMATION SCHEME Project type: Master Planning Location: Penang, Malaysia Year: 2014 - 2015
Unlike other projects, this development offers a distinct opportunity in creating a holistic landscape design unique to itself. Ecological options that we can pursue, all of which could be tied back to 3 important principle goals - the creation of an urban greenscape, the protection and preservation of native biodiversity, and the promotion of sustainable land use.
Page 19 | 03 Penang SRS
The South Islands reclamation land, when combined with these 3 principles, allows us the opportunity of creating a landscape design that is fully integrated with the flora, fauna and surrounding land while at the same time without compromising on comfort, benefitting in high quality sustainable living.
03 | STRATEGIES
STUDYING
THE
EXISTING
SITE
CONDITIONS Penang has a tropical rainforest climate. Experiencing bursts of rain for short periods of time, Penang experiences slightly drier conditions from December to March and wetter conditionsduring the monsoon season from April to November. The average temperature in Penang is 31°C. The south of the islands is fully surrounded by water. Giving the coastal structures an advantage in regards to viewpoints. Abundance of coastal biodiversity existing along the shoreline. The north of the island is fronted by mainland Penang, giving the opportunity to explore the biodiversity on land. By studying the placement of the islands, onshore and offshore breeze could be used to advantage in planning the open parks and green spaces.
03 | PLANTING STRATEGY
BIODIVERSITY PLANTS With the inclusion of fauna attracting from

The urban green spine links the islands together with its lush vegetation, creating the opportunity for a green ‘highway’ consisting of animal crossings and urban park recreations, a connected urban jungle within the concrete built land. The concept of the development is based around and derived from the simple idea of blurring the demarcation line between the city and nature, the most natural state of co-existence between the 2 entities where a new ecosystem is formed.Through the matrimony of both, a Natural City is envisioned for the future of

LAKE GARDEN Lake Garden is surrounded by a series of cafes and restaurants, both commuters and residents can relax with the view along the waterfront. CITY BAY Promoting a sustainable and diverse lifestyle by the river, the City Bay acts as the financial heart of the city, connecting people with the nature within the city. MARINA SQUARE Providing visitors and residents a clear vista of the surrounding sea while incorporating the nature of its surroundings, the Marina Square acts as an ecologically friendly location of respite and leisure. ECO BRIDGE Connecting the existing with the new, the eco-bridge serves as a linkage between nature and concrete, attracting the existing fauna to reside on the islands.

SUNGEI WHAMPOA
Project type: ABC Water Project Location: Whampoa Canal, Singapore Year: 2015 - 2016
Starting out from a concretized canal section running from Kim Keat Road to Central Expressway, the vision for Sungei Whampoa aims to have the area naturalized, revitalizing it as a user friendly area that is both green and ecologically sustainable.
Page 27 | 04 Sungei Whampoa
Along the canal, creepers are proposed to enhance the greenery along Sungei Whampoa. The project, focuses on 2 main nodes. Node 1, beside Whampoa Community Centre a timber boardwalk was proposed to creating new communal spaces for the residents in the estate as well as green features such as a Rain garden. Node 2, beside Block 83 proposed for Grass Paver Stepping Stones.

RAILWAY CORRIDOR
Project type: Master Planning Competition - Hydraulic study Location: KTM Railway Corridor, Singapore Year: 2015
The CCK site forms a unique spot where the rail corridor runs parallel to the Pang Sua canal. This proximity between both entities opens opportunities where a strong blue-green connection can be formed through the implementation of sustainable systems.
Page 31 | 05 Railway Corridor
The link is further enhanced through the inclusion of communities from future developments, where an overall seamless integration is created. The self sufficient and diverse landscape will attract residents to the surrounding areas, keeping them in close touch to nature.

Knowing that Singapore aims to upgrade most of its drainage networks to accomodate for higher intensity storm events.
PROPOSED NATURAL RIVER Based on the various studies, the concrete canal of 30m will be expanded to a 50m wide natural river. This will cater to 1 in 50 year storm event intensity and receive water from the exisitng catchment area and the CCK site. This will be integrated with the site. The natural river has the hydraulic capacity to cater for the flows of a 1 in 10 year storm event as per the minimum requirment of PUB’ Code of Practice on surface water drainage and flood plain to cater to a 1 in 50 year storm event.

BRUSH BLOCK
Personalized Handmade and Craft Brand Year Originated: Oct 2016 - 2017
While working in Ramboll Studio Dreiseitl, I did not give up on pursuing my interest for art. I took up Western Abstract Painting Course in Nafa for a year. After graduating I thought of putting the skills and techniques to good use. I noticed unwanted canvases lying around the campus, left behind by graduating students. I was appalled by these wastages which set me thinking on how to better utilise these discarded canvases. Thus, the brand Brush Block was created. Brush Block is a handmade and craft brand in in
