1 | THE WALLS AROUND US: WALSH STREET RESIDENCE
COMPETITION PROJECT: ROBIN BOYD FOUNDATION | JULY 2022JANUARY 2023 | INDIVIDUAL WORK
This multi-residential project explores the architectural propositions of Robin Boyd (1919-71). Located on a narrow plot of land formerly occupied by the Boyd House II at the prestigious suburb of South Yarra, the inventive use of materials and structural components resulted in a distinctive, sustainable and affordable place to live for residents of different sizes and lifestyles. The proposal seeks to take advantage of the proximity of public amenities (e.g. Public open spaces, public transportation and commercial outlets) to develop a sense of community and wellbeing among the inhabitants.

UNIVERSITY PROJECT: COMPLEX BUILDINGS RESEARCH STUDIO AND METHODS | JULY - NOVEMBER 2020 | INDIVIDUAL WORK
This medihotel project is designed around the concept of biophilia, where healthcare architecture serves more than a place for healing. It also has a role as a gathering point for culture, environment and health as it supports the vitality of Perth and the physical and psychological wellbeing of its users. The aim is to create an environment that exceeds that of typical hospitals, where users can enjoy a welcoming and comfortable experience, as it allows reconnection to nature among a heavily urbanized environment.

• Recreational wing is shorter to allow unrestricted visual access to the Perth City Center from all hotel units
• Clinical wing is located closer to the Royal Perth Hospital where visual access is also gained
• Recreational wing in closer proximity to city center, accommodating different types of amenities
CLIMATIC CONDITIONS
• West-facing timber screens are applied to block out the harsh afternoon sun
• Taller clinical wing also takes an advantage of cool summer winds
• Roofs are opened for rain to access the atrium garden inside the building
INTEGRATED GREENERY
• Immediate surrounding has a small amount of greenery
• Extensive green roofs above hotel units and recreational wing provide insulation and reduce heat island effect
• Planters on atria and unit balconies increase shade from afternoon sun Modelling: Sketchup | Edit: Photoshop + Illustrator

Unlike a typical hospital layout that consists of long, continuous rows of inpatient rooms and lack of openings, the design provides intermediate spaces for users to rest and interact with their surroundings. The smooth gradience between communal and private as well as the open-air layout and incorporation of greenery reflects the concept of biophilia, which is believed to enhance human wellbeing.

PROFESSIONAL PROJECT: CO-ACADEMY PROJECT GROUP | DECEMBER 2024 - JANUARY 2025 | GROUP WORK
This project aims to repurpose a vacant office building into a showroom and a refurbished office for an architectural practice. The building is situated within the King Street Heritage area, and hence, provides a unique challenge to propose an interior that incorporates an open office concept while respecting the local character of the city.
The design also extends to the public realm by incorporating means of urban activation to re-purpose laneways and promote community engagement among workers and visitors alike.

4 | INTERGENERATIONAL HOUSING PROJECT
UNIVERSITY PROJECT: ARCHITECTURAL THESIS PROJECT | MARCHNOVEMBER 2021 | INDIVIDUAL WORK
This dissertation project provides a variety of solutions to overcome a new pressure in households shaped by evolving social, cultural and economic conditions. With a gradually growing and ageing population, there is an increasing importance on flexible living arrangements that are able to adapt to the family cycle over a long term. Since multigenerational households consume a larger building footprint and contribute to the urban sprawl, the densification of residential development pushes for more compact ways of living without compromising family size and functions.

• Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) are selected due to their robust, lightweight and energyefficient properties for floor, wall, and roof construction. They are composed of an expanded polystyrene core sandwiched by a pair of OSB panels. There is minimal requirement for additional structures or connectors, which is beneficial for quicker construction time and long-term stability.
• Internal window blinds can helpprevent solar heat gain in summer and are motorized to control the amount of sunlight entering a space. For enhanced thermal performance, they are lightly coloured and composed of thick low-e fabric.

Workshop Project: Street Level Australia + Grotto Studio | January 2024 | Group work
Perth is currently facing an issue of the “missing middle” as similarly found in other major cities with car-centric planning system. The aim is to incorporate gentle density in the form of facade design based on the classical principles of architecture.
Particularly, the West facade holds the front entrance of an existing rug store and faces a busy thoroughfare during peak hours. With respect to the cultural and historical value the rug store holds, and taking inspiration from Claremont’s urban fabric, the design concept focuses on the dynamics of light and shadow through varying depts of facade elements since shading is a crucial factor during warmer months. The podium, comprising brick, stone, and stucco, starkly contrasts with the contemporary upper levels with bladed windows in increasing folds. A trellis facade blurs the juxtaposition between the two styles while providing privacy and shade to the lowest residential units.

Competition project: Hillam Architects | November 2023 | Individual work
Nestled along the Floreat coastline, this captivating home seamlessly blends luxury with the tranquillity of the sea. The design aims to provide omnipresent views to the Indian Ocean, where every room is surrounded by the coastal beauty and surrounding natural elements. At the heart of the residence is a double-height common area featuring full-height folding doors that invite plenty of natural light and ventilation into the space.
A façade composed of wave-like perforated corten steel envelopes around the common space to resemble a lantern “floating” above the dynamically-formed remainder of the house to resemble ocean waves and the winding terrain. The screen also contributes to the representation of the surrounding natural and built environment through its acquired patina, providing inherent aesthetic value. Building materials such as brick, limestone, concrete and timber are selected due to their abundance, earthy palette, and connection to its suburban vicinity. The windows at the East wing and entrance are arch-shaped to reflect nearby homes evoking a Mediterranean essence.
The gentle slope on the site gives an opportunity to divide an overall mass by three levels and connect with existing building lines. Extensive landscaping is incorporated to blend nature into the design. The south-facing pool is organicallyshaped and completely open to receive ample sunlight while being protected by a variety of vegetation to offer visual privacy, giving an illusion of the ocean closer to home.

HULL ROAD X EWING STREET, COLLIE WA 6225
Competition project: UN Students Doing Good Sustainability Challenge | August 2023 | Group Work
Collie is a regional town southwest of Perth, known for being a historic coal minimg town. As of 2019, the Western Australian Government has announced a Just Transition campaign, which aims to phase out all of Collie’s coal plants bt 2030 in favour of renewable energy sources. Consequently, many workers in the mining industry are affected because they contribute to WA’s largest industry and need new skills to prepare for the energy transition.
The proposal is an agrivoltaic farm at the town of Collie, which consists of solar panels with crops underneath. This project is in line with Sustainable Development Goal No.8: Decent Work and Economic Growth. Circulating around the concept of social enterprise, the farm represents the emergence of new industries that emphasise renewable energy production and consumption, as well as providing workers with relevant jobs and skills to prepare for a new economic climate in partnership with South Regional TAFE, where refurbishment is expected to complete by 2025. The farm is a cooperative run by and for community members, where they can purchase a solar panel from at a set price before getting subsequent ones for free. Adjacent to the farm, tiny-home style solar cabins provide accommodation for students and workers under training as well as tourists, while promoting the benefits of green energy and respect to the natural environment.
