INSTALLATION MODEL

CONCEPT BEHIND INSTALLATION MODEL

A project inspired by the shape of an organismradiolaria. Through the shape, it inspired me to create an installation design for space and movement. It's a space for people to enjoy exploring, while they move along and interact with the installation. It consists of two levels - people can access both levels through the side slope, to admire the beauty of shapes from the organism.

REARTH 03

UX/UI project

CONCEPT BEHIND REARTH (APPLICATION)

A curated shopping platform that provides local sustainable and ethical fashion.

Due to social media influence and lack of availability or trustworthy information/platforms, there is a lack of awareness for slow fashion in adult shoppers. This application is to encourage people to shop sustainably and ethically so that we can play a part in improving the global environment. Sustainable fashion means that we can save natural resources and reduce the carbon footprint, resulting in decarbonization and lesser pollution.

CONCEPT BEHIND THE DOUBLE ARCH

The Double Arch is a nano house that sets apart the private and the public space clearly so that more privacy is provided to the users. This is one of the highlighted feature of the house as it is catered to users who value their own privacy. Specially designed for users who are interested in doing arts like painting and for those who prefers a quiet environment for them to paint.

With the amazing scenery to invoke user's senses, this can also provide them daily inspirations while feeling at peace. Apart from an art studio, users can also get to experience displaying their own art in an art gallery.

HEART TO NURTURE

GUI project (Yishun)

CONCEPT BEHIND HEART TO NURTURE

In today’s fast-paced society, people require a place that allows them to relax and unwind. People need to find a balance so that it can improve their general well-being as well as mental health.

Having a relaxing space can also help to enhance their knowledge as research has shown that people tend to have a better memory and retention in a relaxing environment. Apart from having a relaxing space, it is also necessary for all to have a safe and nurturing environment where people get to interact and grow with one another.

THE VERSANE 10

HDB residential + commercial project (Rocher)

CONCEPT BEHIND THE VERSANE

Fostering a sense of belonging for the community and bringing them together by improving their health and well being

As there is a high amount of elderly living alone with no children or with their spouse, there is a higher need for productivity and youthfulness - active lifestyle. Since more educated elderly now have a change in mindsets, they would also be driven to participate in meaningful activities. Other than elderly, there is also a rise in smaller families due to low birth rates in Singapore. Hence it is to create a future vision for younger generations by allowing them to adapt to an active and hands on lifestyle due to the ageing population.
