PROFILE

I am currently practicing architecture in Singapore, after completing my Master’s degree in Architecture and Urbanism in Brno, Czech Republic. Prior to this, I received my Bachelor’s degree in Architecture and Sustainable design in Singapore and worked on several housing projects in my hometown, Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Working in Singapore has broadened my experience in how to run a project from start to finish. While I have dealt with mostly landed housing and commercial projects, I am excited to have the opportunity to explore other fields of architecture.

My master thesis focused on transforming an abandoned children’s hospital into a sustainable and affordable housing, specifically for young adults, in Kielce, Poland, who are just starting their adult life and may be struggling to make ends meet. I believe this is a global issue that many of us can relate to and therefore, should aim to solve. As such, I am interested to explore projects that aim to solve current social issues, and see how architecture can play a part in creating a better environemnt.

KIELCE - A CITY FOR YOUTHS AND YOUNG ADULTS

The project focuses on transforming the city to cater to the needs of young adults, an age group heavily affected by the increased housing price and living expensives and competitive job market. An urban strategy is created to redefine the definition of public spaces for young adults as a network of smaller, local hubs with activities designed towards a younger crowd. The goal is to instill a sense of community and to ensure that they have spaces to express their creativity, socialize, learn and develop practical life skills. It implements a cycling network as a sustainable strategy to connect different public spaces, with an eventual goal of connecting the entire city together.

STRATEGIES FOR TRANSFORMING KIELCE INTO A YOUTH - YOUNG ADULT - FRIENDLY CITY

1. Connected Cycling Network Spaces, especially in youth active areas, should all be connected by a proper cycling route. This provides a network of sustainable travel, an easy and affordable method to get around the city. Simultaneously, it promotes an active and social lifestyle, both of which are important for this age group.

Roads without cycling infrastructure can be transformed to support cycling lane, which in turn produces a vibrant,

2. Proposal of Young Adult Local Hubs

“Local hubs” for young adults is a set of existing public spaces transformed to support / incorporate activities of their interests and programs that enriches growth and development (eg. networking, cooking, budgeting workshops).

The criterias for choosing locations for local hubs include: easily accessible, undefined or non-traditional or mis-used public spaces. This ensures that the new local hubs will not interfere with spaces intended for other purposes. Together all the sites will form network of smaller public spaces, connected together by cycling routes.

FROM GREY TO GREEN

Sarajevo is a city with very much a bittersweet feeling. It is a city full of life, culture and history, yet it is also full of transportation issues. The low quality of public transportation led people to rely on their personal vehicles, resulting in constant traffic, heavy air pollution and loss of natural, public spaces as they get converted into parking lots. Moving forward, the goal is to promote sustainable living, through reconversion of “lost” green spaces, into a blend of car park, green areas and communal space to promote and support social interactions and activities. It is a space designed to recognize and solve existing problems, while simultaneously reviving Sarajevo back into a green, sustainable city.

Feb

Sarajevo is a linear city that runs along the river. Mapped below is the points of existing parking lots in the city center. Despite being a relatively small area, there are many parking spaces, most of which are outdoor, with some being spaces converted purely to support more parking. The chosen site is one that falls into both of the previously-mentioned category.

Base grid of 2.5 x 5m. parking space

Removing spaces for road

Inserting greenery and social spaces

INITIAL IDEATION

Adding multiple social, educational functions to second level

Playground Urban Farming Cafe

Seating Overlooking Space Below

Creating a grid from the base unit (of various height)

Inserting greenery and walkway

Creating a cluster of parking, greenery, social space

Rearranging to create multiple configuration of spaces

The second level follows the same base unit of 2.5 x 5 m. but aggregated in a slightly different manner to support various social activities and to allow sunlight and ventilation through to ground level.

CNX BACKYARD LIVING POD

Backyard living pod is designed as a mixture between a glamping pod and a traditional cabin, to be located in the backyard or garden, as an extension of the main house. It functionas as a living space for guests or as a small escape from the chaos of our daily lives. The living pod is created as a space for people to reconnect with themselves and with nature, by providing a very simple and calming environment and a casual outdoor seating for people to enjoy the sunrise and sunset. It is designed as a reminder for us to take a step back, breathe and enjoy the smaller, simpler things in life.

MATERIAL - COLOR SCHEME

Smooth caster plaster finish is used to achieve a clean, sleak aesthetic. This creates a nice contrast against the Thai red wood (affordable + durable). Accent greenery and furnitures are also incorporated to bring in a pop of color.

4. Wooden - Window Facade

The goal is to achieve a natural and traditional cabin aesthetic, while also controlling the amount of afternoon sun entering

3. Indoor Frame Shelves Shelves are of different sizes to create a multitude of storage space and avoid a montonous repetition in design

5. Outdoor Frame Shelves

Designed with gray metal vertical frames and wood for the shelvings, allows for easy access, storage, and security of bicycle and other objects

TERRACE HOUSING

As space becomes more limited and daily commute to work becomes more inconvenient and expensive, people are beginning to look for alternative ways to work from or close to home on this Long Island, an extended island off the coast of Singapore. Therefore, this project aims to design a vibrant, co-living and cohesive community for live, work and play. This creates an opportunity to achieve a close-knit environment whereby all residents help to support one another and contribute to the livelihood of the community.

1. Traditional Perimeter Block

2. Dividing Blocks into 4 Allows for central courtyard ventilation

3. Inserting Additional Blocks Provide space for more units while still ensuring proper ventilation
