1. Beach Road Apartments (83 Beach Road, Auckland Central) DESIGN DATE: Feb 2016 - ongoing SECTOR: Residential MY ROLE: Site Analysis, Landscape Design and Plant Selection

LEVEL2 LANDSCAPE DESGIN This site is located on the south side of Beach Road in Central Auckland, with an area of 815.2 m2. Surrounded by medium to high rise buildings, the proposal is for a 15-storey apartment building.

Landscape garden spaces are located on three different levels of the building - being level 1, level 2 and level 9, with areas of 69.28 m2, 157.98 m2 and 194.93 m2 respectively.

The design aims to create a variety of relaxing shared space for people living in the apartments.

The gardens share a common design language with a textural base of pebbles and ground covers overlaid with paving slabs to demark paticular areas and uses with the arrangement of hedges and taller planting used to assist with definition and separation of sub-spaces. Through the combination of hard and soft materials spaces are defined as private or use in common. The design of each garden differs in response to the particular pattern of layout and occupation that are generated by the building form.

2. Green Space Network for a Regional Auckland DESIGN DATE: JULY 2014 - NOV 2015 PURPOSE: Research Projects for A Degree of Master in Landscape Architecture

AUCKLAND GREE NETWORK PLAN

WARKWORTH-SILVERDALE GREEBELT This project explores how a green network for regional Auckland could emerge from a close study of both the ecological and social forces at work in contemporary New Zealand urbanism. The project begins by reviewing the importance of a green network in the shaping of a regional city structure and maintaining the Auckland lifestyle. The author develops a methodology based on two sets of criteria; environmental and social.

Three case studies are developed, ranging in scale from the regional through to the local to test the design methodology. The project concludes by suggesting that by guiding the emergence of a green network in the greater Auckland Region, the growing population will gain both a new enlarged public realm and ensure the continuation of the existing Auckland lifestyle.

3. Yingyue Residential Area Design COMPLETE DATE: 2003 SECTOR: Residential MY ROLE: Master plan, Landscape Design and Construction Drawings SITE AREA: 9.6 ha Yingyue is the first contemporary residential area in Jiaozhou when private cars became popular in developed areas of China. To avoid potential traffic accidents and emission pollution, this project used pedestrian-oriented idea to separate driveway and walkway system. A linear park was designed in the middle of the site cross north to south, so people from each department can very easily walk to the park. Driveways were designed around outside of the residential area.

Landscape design used local material to sustain cultural-social identity.

Located in intersection of three rivers, the dynamic water view and native plants reserves give this site an extraordinary character. Using traditional cultural concept, a central garden with a clear axis dominates the high-rise building cluster, and balances the relationship between artificial and natural environment.

7. Jiaozhou Strategic Plan

GROWTH HISTORY

COMPLETE DATE: 2013 BUILT-UP AREA: 106 KM2 URBAN POPULATION: 580,000 MY ROLE: Team Leader, Planning Strategy, Spatial Analysis, Writing Report Jiaozhou is located in the west coast of Qindao which is the biggest city and commercial centre of Shandong Province. Jiaozhou is defined as one of the most important part of Qingdao Metropolitan, advanced industry centre and regional transport centre.

There have been four generations of comprehensive city master plans in Jiaozhou’s growth history. Attracted by the central city, the growth history provides a very strong eastwards direction along transport corridors.

Before 2012, Jiaozhou was a transport hub in Qingdao-Jinan corridor. However, the built up of Jiaozhoubay tunnel and bridge weakened its strength. This trategic plan focused on transport integrated spatial analysis. Through planning a series transport corridors around the airport, including railway, subway and motorway systems, we expect that after Jiaozhou’s status shift from the "core" to the "edge", the city will "recover" its core status within regional development.
