AMBER WEI

Email: amberwei.info@gmail.com

Born and raised in Vancouver, I am a recent graduate of the Toronto Metropolitan University’s School of Interior Design four-year program (CIDA-accredited). Studying in Toronto for three years and Brisbane for six months revealed the various dimensions of innovative design, how space design varies across different environments, and deepened my love for learning. In my final year of university, I had the pleasure of working at a design firm in Toronto, where I developed my skills in technical drawings and conceptual design. As an interior design graduate, I am proficient in AutoCAD, Revit, Rhinoceros 3D, Twinmotion, Microsoft Office, and Adobe Creative Suite, including Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator. I am eager to take the next steps in my career as a designer and contribute to the success of my team.

BITE CAFE 01

BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA

BITE CAFE CONSISTS OF A SERVICE JOINERY, A STAIRCASE, A WOMEN’S WASHROOM, AND A MEN’S WASHROOM. WITH HIGH FUNCTIONALITY IN MIND, HIGH-TRAFFIC ZONES WITHIN THE JOINERY WERE PROTECTED USING SILESTONE, A LOW-SILICA MINERAL SURFACE. THE CASHIER WAS ALSO INTENTIONALLY PLACED TO THE RIGHT OF THE ENTRANCE TO ALLOW A WALKTHROUGH OF SOLD GOODS BEFORE PURCHASE. FURTHERMORE, THIS PROJECT ADDRESSED THE ACCESS AND EGRESS OF USERS WITHIN A BUILT ENVIRONMENT. DUE TO THE VOLUME OF USERS, PUBLIC SPACES ARE GOVERNED BY CODES DEVELOPED FOR THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE WHO INHABIT THE SPACES WE HAVE DESIGNED.

TRINITY

ST JOHN HOUSE / LONDON, UK

INSPIRED BY THE ST JOHN’S WOOD HOUSE BY DAVID ADJAYE IN LONDON, UK, TRINITY CELEBRATES THE INTERIOR/EXTERIOR CONNECTION INHERENT IN THE ORIGINAL BUILDING BY ELONGATING THE HORIZON WITH A CALM GREEN WALL COVERING AND REFLECTING THE ORGANIC CURVATURES OF NATURE IN THE PINK COUNTERTOP.

“TRINITY” REPRESENTS THE THREE PROMINENT COLORS IN HARMONY WITH ONE ANOTHER: PINK, GREEN, AND YELLOW. THE SUBTLE BALANCE OF SHARP AND CURVED SHAPES IS ALSO BROUGHT TO LIFE WITH THE TOUCH OF SUNLIGHT.

SHERATON HOTEL

TORONTO, ONTARIO

ART SPIN: UNEXPECTED, INNOVATIVE, AND EXCITING.

WITH THIS PHILOSOPHY IN MIND, THE TORONTO SHERATON HOTEL IS REIMAGINED WITH MYSTERIOUS YET CALCULATED ELEMENTS THAT PROVOKE CURIOSITY AND MOVEMENT WHILE MAXIMIZING SPATIAL QUALITY. POWER DYNAMICS ARE FLIPPED, AND THE CONCEPT OF POCHE IS INCORPORATED.

THROUGHOUT THE SPACE, UNIQUE MOMENTS OF ART ARE PROJECTED AT VARYING TEMPOS AND ANGLES; THEREFORE, FOR A BRIEF MOMENT, YOU EXPERIENCE THE PRESENCE OF THE INSTALLATION.
