the site was in ulladulla, a quaint little town on the southern nsw coast, populated mostly by the elderly. the language is therefore subtle and fluid, using local timber and advanced joinery, the deck peels out, allowing people to look into the vessel repair facility on the slipway.

airport, sydney
sydney’s airport is in dire stress. there is no room for expansion and suburbia creeps around it. this proposal transforms the airport into a city; an “aviopolis�. it explores the notion of merging commercialism into airports on a city-scale. where airports become large cities themselves. the proposal was for an international student competition held in copenhagen.

the urban condenser, sydney
continuing the arguments of aviopolis, this Newtown railway station perpetuates that city rail networks are essential to the city as arterial webs of movements. it criticizes the mundane duplicated prototype of sydney’s railway stations and proposes a more dynamic station that engages with the surrounding urban fabric rather than exist as a modernist solution. it and bridges King Street and Erskineville road while integrating various urban functions.
