KEY EMPLOYMENT

REALACE GERMANY: appointed as CHIEF DESIGNER IN 2017

the first half of my thirties

I moved to Europe in 2014. The only agenda was to broaden my knowledge and skills. I flew there and landed in an interdisciplinary studio called REALACE, renowned in Europe for Placemaking and Revitalisation of spaces.

I was appointed as Chief Designer initiating and overseeing all projects across the practice. Later on, we established a unique ‘three-heads, concept-making team’ within the practice to pursue my ongoing interest in artistic direction. Working in a truly collaborative environment with expert teams from all other fields brought me fresh insight, knowledge and approach to my mindset.

I have rapidly evolved and gained such unique skills in approaching design and architecture unlike elsewhere. My thinking process is also changed, In 5 to 6 years I’ve learnt expertise in Placemaking, Program Strategy and most notably, ‘Tailor-Made Workplace Designs’ for the world’s leading base offices and cooperatives.

While architecture is the root of my professionalism, I have become open-minded.

MILESTONES

Ullsteinhaus Masterplan One of his most successful projects is in Germany, a masterplan over 60,000 sqm of space as a campus for innovative technology companies. The projects for German’s leading companies, museum and art curation are still on media today. Involved in all stages from beginning, design direction, documentation, research analysis, interior design and more.

BOSCH IoT Campus of Berlin Bosch IoT Campus with Europe’s leading ideas and research was part of the masterplan. The unconventional approach in creating a workplace with a precise understanding of value, identity, and the need of every individual is one of his most remarkable assets. With an ongoing discussion with client BOSCH, we were able to establish their agenda and it is well published all around Europe.

Karl Marx Strasse 101 The revitalisation concept for the former department store and garage building on Karl-Marx-Straße collages the old with the new: Instead of tearing down the more than 50-year-old and now seemingly outdated store and car park, it is transformed into a modern market hall and more. The challenge of a 2.2m height carpark was easily feasible. The revitalisation plans and local contribution plays a big part in a community.

Sonneninsel This unique site embedded in close proximity to the city centre has enormous potential for highly attractive, landscaped creative workspaces at a lower cost. Some of the inventory can continue to be used. The demands in the property market for Office spaces are high, thus we brought a ‘New Working Landscape” - working environments need physical space and interaction.

KEY EMPLOYMENT

BATES SMART AUSTRALIA: APPOINTED AS ASSOCIATE IN 2012

the second half of my twenties

I first started working at Bates Smart as a design architect in 2010, I was actively involved and contributed to a broad range of projects including the initial design and planning stages.

The highest standard in the initiation of design concepts establishing the methodology and systems were highly appreciated.

“With a strong sense of conceptualisation and expression together with a honed ability to translate design ideas into physicality.”

I have worked solely with Design Directors on large scale proposals combining an understanding of context, the development of a design narrative, rendering of 3-dimensional form, and commercial feasibility analysis.

By 2013, I was appointed as an Associate of the Practice, I was at the age of 27. Even after a year of teaching at the university, we collaborated in a number of international competitions.

The essential qualities of 447 Collins Street need to be born out of the connected dynamic and creative spirit that courses through Melbourne’s streets and laneways It should extend, celebrate and symbolise the noble and rich personality of Melbourne’s culture which is revered throughout the world.
