Perspective and Plan

Music Producer

The soundproof studio was designed for the nature of his profession to achieve the purpose of not affecting the neighbours.

Painter

I arranged for him to share a floor with the interior designer as they are quiet people. I also design a sunny studio that the painter needs.

Photographer

This room can avoid direct sunlight to the studio. He is on the same floor with music producers because their work is both noisy.

Interior Designer

The interior designer needs a quiet working area to help her focus, so she has been arranged on the same floor with the painter.

NARROW HOUSE A Multi-Functional Cafe Designed In The Gap

2017 Winter Semester Studio Project Professor: Mr Miguel Rodriguez-Casellas Tutor: Mrs Amaia Sanchez-Velasco, Mr Mingxi Liu Building Area: 56 sqm Site: Thomson St, Darlinghurst NSW Australia Individual Work

Kings Cross is a suburb with a strong arts background. There is plenty of gallery and art school around. The concept of the p ro j e c t w a s t o d e s i g n a p l a c e w h e re p e o p l e c o u l d w o r k a n d study, read and communicate where they could also gather and re l a x . Te r re n c e h o u s e i s a t r a d i t i o n a l v i n t a g e h o u s e t h a t c a n be seen everywhere in Sydney, the site has been chosen in the crevices of Terrence house. The major challenge was to tease both functional and delightful spaces out of space that exists in the gap between two houses. The layout is as open as possible to maximise the light and increase the sense of space, so the second and third floors are open. The design also makes it necessary to make the space more efficient and exciting as the shape is skinny. If not rented, it can be used as a reading bar. If rented, it can be used as a company gathering place or an art gallery. Therefore, this space can be very diversified and can also become a lear ning and communication venue for artists of Kingscross.

TUBE MAZE A Concrete Pavilion Located In Hyde Park

2020 Autumn Semester Studio Project Professor: Mrs Tomris Tangaz, Tutor: Mrs Rachel Jenkins, Mr Mingxi Liu, Mr Jesse O'Neill Digital Tutor: Mr Mingxi Liu, Mr Nick Grace Building Area: 2500 sqm Site: Serpentine Gallery Pavillion, London Individual Work

This is an experience space located in Hyde Park. Serpentine Gallery Pavilion inspired my concept of this design, I also chose it as my site. The pavilion aims to let people come by to rest and experience the tube maze; people won't care about the direction t h e y a re h e a d i n g t o w h i l e t h e y e x p l o re t h e i n s i d e s o t h a t t h e interior will be like an adventure. Straws inspired the form of this project, and the conceptual models aim to help me understand the interwoven spaces created through pipes. The building sits lazily on the lawn and blends in with Hyde park, giving a relaxed and lazy experience. The user can have the same sense of identity inside the building as in the natural environment. The natural environment outside can be extended and extended to the artificial space inside without any obstacles. The mild form of the tube can make people feel less anxiety and less stressed. The exterior is also a very nice location for people to gather around during weekend for some rest.

SKI RESORT A Spa Lounge That Serves The Ski Track

2021 October - December Personal Work Tutor: Mr Mingxi Liu Digital Tutor: Mr Mingxi Liu Site: Changbaishan Ski Resort, Fusong County, Baishan, China Building Area: 5000 sqm Individual Work

Changbaishan mountains are the source of the Songhua, Tumen, and Yalu Rivers. The Changbai Mountains are characterized by long, cold winters. Snow period from November to the following A p ri l , as l ong as s i x m onths , the d ep th of s now i n m ore than 1 m e t e r, s n o w i s l o o s e a n d f l o c k y, i s t h e f a v o u r i t e p l a c e f o r many skiers. Changbaishan Ski Resort is the top ski resort in Asia, and several ski slopes have met the requirements of the Winter Olympics. It is also a trendy choice for winter vacation. I have personally been there and inspired by my hotel hot spring facilities. It will be unique and relaxing to have a hot spring and dining area building along the ski slope. The architecture follows the mountain slope, and skiers are welcome to stop by directly to enjoy the hot spring, dining area or sit and relax. The building can attract more tourists and give them a more memorable experience. There is a ski track designed on the rooftop connected to the main ski track. Skiers are also allowed to enter from the rooftop.
