ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT STORE The building was built in 1906 as an annexe to the Bon Marche department store. In 2015, architect Squire and Partners restored the building and turned it into an exciting array of creative workspaces with a variety of creative and retail units. With post office and several restaurants in the same building, it created a great community spirit for the office workers and the public.

RESEARCH CONTEXT HOW MUC H SPACE IS ENOUGH? Average residential floor space by countr y in m 2
HOW AND WHEN THE IDEA CAME ABOUT The idea behind COMPACT+ relates to my cultural identity. It is easy for me to connect compact living to the current living situation in Hong Kong, the city that is known for having the smallest average home size in the world. Compact living might seems to be a trend for those who have the privilege to choose, but it never was in some of the most populous cities like Tokyo (Japan), Shanghai (China) and London (United Kingdom) besides Hong Kong. The rapid change of new technology and home average size are the main reasons for me to design a retail store instead of a residential interior. I believe the ability of design change is vital for a topic that causes a long term influence to our life. A residential project that is focus on a person or a family cannot cover the diversity of topic nor the situation in our society. The retail store allows me to discover and discuss different aspects of compact living to a wider range of population.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT SCHEDULE OF ACCOMMODATION The more you go up, the more compact it becomes. The ceiling height is higher for the lower floors and is slowly getting lower. The ceiling design is to recreate the UK average (2700mm) and minimum (2100mm) ceiling height standard for residential use space, while the ground floor will be keeping the ceiling height standard for commercial and retail space. The design helps to lead the customer into the “journey of compact home�. Showrooms from 1/F to 3/F were designed to be in the same pattern and size to demonstrate the direct impact of ceiling height in a home. Where many home owners might experience this problem, they can related to it and easier to find the suitable way that Compact+ provides to manipulate their home problems.

DESIGN CONCEPT
The concept “ABOVE AND BEYOND” simulated the condition of living inside a compact home. By experimenting with ceiling height and the relationships between floors to create a dynamic movement in the building. As people goes up, they could experience the more concentrated space lower ceilings. The mezzanine worked as an additional level to view the building in a different and unusual perspective. It could be treated as an individual space on its own, but also the part to bond the floors together. Void were included in each floor to extending the spatial scale and to eliminate the sense of pressure while creating the extension of visual axis. Using reflective materials to allow light to penetrate freely and improves the interactivity between floors. Each space can interact with their “neighbours”. The staircase acts as a pathway to lead people to different floors. The arrangement of the staircase also defines the rest of the space, which offshoot in fragments and are integrated through a rhythmic arrangement of steel beams and columns.

of the selected countries from research content.
The showroom is where you get an insight into compact living. There are 18 showrooms in total, each of them have been carefully designed to show the living habits of different types of family. Not only showing the average size of UK housing, some of the showrooms were created to reveal housing sizes in different countries and the way they use to tackle with the small living spaces. The research on average size of house around the world helped me to get a more accurate data on the average house size around the way, it also helped me to focus on 4 countries besides the England that have the smallest average residential floor space, which were Hong Kong(15m²), Japan(35m²), Italy(31m²) and Russia(22m²). The second feature of the showrooms is that I tried to 'put' the typical house building into the space. The showrooms from 1/F to 3/F were designed to look like a real house

INTERIOR DESIGN - BRISK
Located in a busy area surrounded by university campus and offices. Brisk hair salon cut down the service time down to 10 minutes. Target on providing high-quality service for busy professionals and students. The semi-automatic operating system to create a seamless journey for customers. The 10 minutes hair cutting salon presents the idea of “cut out the unnecessary waiting time” and focus on the haircut itself. The idea came up when I thought about how many times I washed my hair in the salon but actually didn’t need it, and ended up paying extra for the service. And many people felt the same when I brought up the topic. More than that, it was considered as rude when you didn’t have a conversation with the hairdresser but sometimes you just want to finish the haircut and get going as soon as possible.
Customers can take control of everything at Brisk.They pay for their service by the self-service ticket machines by choosing the service(s) they needed, service time is shown next to each service item. A ticket will then released after they paid. The customers will then wait in the waiting area for their number to show on the television screen. Styling stations are labelled with colours that match the one on the ticket, to help the customers look for their seat.This system would make sure the flow of the salon is smooth and each barber is handling with similar numbers of customers. Customers are good to go after they have been served. No queues or wait for the bills and changes because they have already done that at the beginning.

For the cutting area, styling unit were custom made to suit the needs of the hair salon. Locker and coat rack are available for all the styling unit. The reason I chose to use this kind of system instead of having the traditional storage room for customers’ belongings was because it would save time from traveling between the storage and the cutting area. As we got only 10 minutes slot for each customer, it would take longer for customer to prepare and to leave the hair salon. As it is an open space, lockers are fitted to ensure the security for customer’s belongings.

H. R. S. S is a future proof psychotherapy centre for greater flexibility and ever changing social trends. The goal for this project is to explore new ways to give support for those who are suffering from depression caused by chronic pain syndrome. And at the same time, design a future proof psychotherapy centre with greater flexibility to adapt the ever changing social trends. There are many factors to determine the health of a person. Exclude the innate factors, we could still make a change of our habits to improve the acquired factors. The arise of the psychotherapy centre is to give a push to those who are struggling with their illnesses, by providing direct help like giving medical advices and counselling. At the same time, to provide indirectly options through experiencing with the Japanese Zen meditation and adjustment of their eating habits.To achieve the goal, the design of the
space is a key. My goal is to create a place that is welcoming and feel less of being inside of a clinic, hopefully feel more like being in the nature. More importantly, to let those who are suffering with the chronic pain syndrome to start a new life. ‘Future proofing’ is the key for this project. The aim is to think ahead of the present, not only to considerate about the problems that might happen now, but also to predict the possibilities of sudden changes and be ready to tackle with the environment and the society.

The reason for me to choose to work on chronic disease is because of my personal experience. One of my close relative with diabetes couldn’t bear the pain of injecting medicine to his body everyday, so decided to end his own life. For all these years, I couldn’t think of any reason for a cheerful person like him to choose a path like this. I went further back to research on the background of chronic disease, such as the definition of the disease and their effects to the patients. I was trying to study their connections with the case of my relative, and focused on the how the disease would affect him mentally. The more I knew, the more connections I could make with the reason for him to commit suicide. The research has given me an insight of the vital link between chronic disease and depression. To be more specific, I have decided to work on depression particularly caused by chronic pain syndrome. Why chronic pain syndrome? Patients experience different levels of pain due to their illnesses. Although there are different types of medical support like drug therapy and psychotherapy, they stem from the Western cultures. As a student from an East-Asian country with numerous ideas about cultural relativism, I would like to come up with a solution that can integrate the best of both. Recognition and treatment are crucial; depression worsens the course of a chronic illness. Prevention is better than cure.

In order to let more light to get into the basement, I have removed an area of flooring from the ground floor, it helps with the lightning and increase the unity between the floors.
Interior - Ground floor
In the middle of the psychotherapy centre, there is a indoor garden going through the floors. The reason to create the garden is to bring the nature to the audiences. Garden is a important element and it is connected to the Zen philosophy. The miniature of the garden is representing ‘emptiness’, and it is making us to think deeply about our life. Although the idea was inspired by the philosophy of Zen, but in this case, it was simply to make a better connections between spaces and increase the atmosphere of the building.

DESIGN CONCEPT MAKE A MOVE TO TRANSFORM SPACE
The design focal is about making a move to transform a space from what it looks like to another. I have been experimenting with building elements like swivel, flap, slide and fold. The solution is to make the furnitures to be able to adjust to different conditions while being simple enough for different users. What that means is to create a multi-functional space with the method of ‘hide and seek’ - to hide items that are not in use and seek for new ways to transform a space. Although the space is going to be multi-functional, it doesn’t mean it has to be full of new technologies and machine operated features. Too much of these would lower the comfortability of a space, so my idea is to balance the functionality and the harmony of the space at the same time. Design focal to look at: 1. Feature wall, doors and storage solutions in meditation room. 2. Indoor garden to make connections between different floors. 3. Tables at level 0.5 located in ground floor and group area in the basement.

RETHINK THE DEFINITION OF ROOM
Basement Floorplan 1:100@ A4
The concept of the psychotherapy centre is to explore the possibilities of creating variable elements within the same space. For example, the size of a room for private therapy could also be a space for group activities. Most of us have a set of guidelines about how big a room for certain activity should be. But in this project, I have tried to break this concept and making connections between rooms. Rather than providing a ‘frozen’ setting for activities, the new concept is to make a multiplicity of different uses and atmospheres possible. The result is to develop a well conceived mobile room in compact environments that take up less space than conventional approaches. I used the technique of space in walls to create extra storage for the use of dividing and joining spaces. Also to accommodate flexible elements like door inside the wall. The particular element is ‘parked’ in the wall and taken out as needed. The same element has been used on the tables within the space. By increasing the height of flooring to create extra room to ‘park’ the tables. Only pull up when it is needed. And to help transforming the space for different activities.
INTERIOR DESIGN - H.R.S.S
‘If we need to sleep, we need a bedroom; if we need to eat, we need a dining room.’ that is a quote I heard from a programme called ‘Dream the Future’. It inspired me to rethink about the ways we design our space. The concept of designing a space for specific use has been rooted for us for over decades or even more. It makes me wonder if our concept of rooms is well prepared for our future?
The group area located in the basement is where I experimented with the variable room elements. 35

INTERIOR DESIGN, 3D DESIGN - MIF
A co-design brief to design elements of Festival Square, for the Manchester International Festival, in collaboration with Oh Ok alongside Practice Architecture and The Office of Crafted Architecture. The project involved working with live client to develop ideas and concepts with regards to making artefacts and elements at object, human and architectural scale and branding, to meet the client needs. By working in a group of 5, we worked closely together for decision making and individually to identify each of our role in the team. During the live project, I had the opportunity to involve in all stages of the design process including space plan and produce accurate drawings using Vectorworks. I also learned how to design furniture and update existing fixture according to the brand guidelines. My floor plan and layout design were moved forward to the final production and was featured on BBC live broadcast.

EXPERIMENTAL MODELS The initial starting point. My team and I developed our idea from the first workshop with three words - Tension, movement and reform. We then continued our experimenting with different materials. A triangular structure was the regular theme within our experiments, which then led on to triangular shapes used throughout the project.

The bench has a 50 degrees back which allow users to sit in a relaxed position, with the seat that is long enough for users to fold their legs up. This design is dedicated to individuals with varied postures. The gap between each part is to prevent water storage on the bench under rainy weather.

FURNITURE MAKING
From measuring, cutting and assembling. Furniture making took the project to the final production. A hands on process to bring the idea to life and result was towards to enjoy by the participant of MIF’17. During the making, my team and I have to take the responsibility for the outcome because we participated in all the processes. The experience allowed us to take our team work to the next level.
PLANNING PLYWOOD TO CUT
Making the best measurements plan to minimise the material waste and budget. ASSEMBLING THE PARTS
The leg design of the hex stool and triangle stool were universalised to simplify the making progress.
