CULTURAL WAVE
WATERFRONT CULTURAL HUB AND STUDENT ACCOMMODATION
This project explores architectural form-f nd ng through the use of a pendulum wave machine. By studying the movement, t m ng, and interaction of mu tiple pendulums, dynamic wave patterns were generated and trans ated into architectural geometries These patterns informed spat al and structura ideas that evolved from smal -sca e experiments into a waterfront cultural bui ding proposal along the Yarra River. The design integrates water, pub ic space, and cultura programs to create a hybrid env ronment for students, artists, and community interaction

NEWPORT MUSEIUM
This project centers on revitalizing a s te in Newport, addressing its historical ties to transport by creating a dynamic space that ce ebrates motion, movement, and gathering. Through in-depth research, we dentified a lack of activity n the area, prompting us to reimagine the site as a hub for both engagement and education Drawing from Newport’s rich transport heritage, the design al ows visitors to ‘flow’ through the space, experiencing diverse modes of transportation and interactive earning opportunities Our aim is to cultivate a vibrant atmosphere where community members can gather, explore, and connect with Newport's unique egacy of movement.
111 HANNAN ST VII
The Hannan Street project explores a contemporary extension to an existing suburban home. The design introduces timber cladding, large glazing, and clerestory windows to bring natural light into the interior while maintaining the scale and character of the original dwelling. The project focuses on creating a clear contrast between old and new while integrating the extension seamlessly with the existing house.
