This project involved designing a multi-family residential development in Battersea, a prominent district in North London, in an environmentally sustainable manner. The 3 acre site was situated adjacent to a mid rise housing estate in close proximity to the Thames River. The project was a team endeavor comprising colleagues from Thailand and China.

1. 1. The site boundary 3. We created the inner courtyard to offer courtyard view inside the building. 2. We started with mid-rise height box which is 14 storeys to prevent overshadowing neighbours and located the building to the Bolingbroke Walk Road to avoid shadow from Selworthy tower. 4. We cut the building to the half and replace the units along the Battersea Road to make the building can receive more sunlight. 2. 3. 4. 5. We cut the height to 11 storeys and replaced the units with the small part. 7. We created the void connecting river side and the building, as well as connect the courtyard and other green open space. 6. We have stepped down the height of the building to prevent overshadowing neighbours. 8. We added the curve-balconies for the courtyard view and the river view, and to prevent over heating in Summer. 5. 7. 6. 8. 08

The central design feature of the concept christened ‘Neo Homes’ were curvilinear wrap around balconies to maximise the views of the river. The ground floor was designed as a retail floor and civic amenities. The design was based on and tested using environmental simulations developed in Ladybug Tools, Honeybee and Open Studio. My role was design conceptualization, master planning, landscape design, simulations, and preparing presentations and the Final Report. Academics

Parametric Facade

This Term 1 project was a Parametric facade with vertical and horizontal louvres that I designed using Grasshopper scripting. This project was part of a hybrid course titled ‘Master Parametric Design’ (MPD), Spring 2023 Edition, organized by ControlMad , an Authorized Rhino Training Centre and Authorized Rhino Fab Lab - based out of Madrid, Spain.
