Individual Project
This thesis examines a pavilion for the 2025 Osaka World Expo, themed “Designing Future Society for Our Lives.” It doubles as a temporary waste collection station, highlighting the environmental contradictions of events that promote cultural exchange while generating waste.
The design features movable elements that interact with waste, integrating it into the architecture and prompting visitors to reflect on their environmental impact. By addressing consumption and global interconnectedness, the project critiques reliance on material resources and advocates for a sustainable, introspective approach to architecture, emphasizing the ecological costs of modern lifestyles.

Touching Time Museum
96 City Road, Syndey NSW 2008
Master year 1 term 1 | 2023
Group Project
The proposed Touching Time Museum (TTM) at Carriage Works is designed to provide an inclusive, multi-sensory experience, particularly for blind or visually impaired visitors. Located on a historic train manufacturing site, the museum will feature linear pathways for enhanced navigation and engagement. It will house five thematic exhibitions on Historical, Cultural, Natural, Scientific, and Futuristic aspects of time, using tactile models and audio descriptions.
Accessibility features include guiding paths, tactile flooring, braille balustrades, and textured walls. Sustainability is prioritized with glulam materials for a reduced carbon footprint and an adaptive fabric façade for climate control, creating a sensory-rich environment that celebrates diverse experiences of time.

International House
96 City Road, Syndey NSW 2008
Master year 1 term 1 | 2023
Group Project
The view from the cafe to the courtyard is depicted in the render. The project envisions connecting the public with residents of International House in hopes of promoting a sense of community. Students and visitors can hang out together and enjoy their school life in the open cafe and courtyard while overlooking the courtyard designed with sports amenities and landscape features.
The University of Sydney’s International House is reimagined to accommodate 360 international students while honoring its rich history and principles of mutual respect. The renovation preserves the existing structure and integrates Aboriginal concepts of interconnectedness with the land. Key elements like the rotunda are transformed into a light-filled study space. The 8-storey dormitory features ensuite rooms and a hybrid steel structure on the upper levels. A new wing complements the old, maximizing natural light through innovative twin-room designs and communal amenities. Two glass atriums promote social interaction, creating a sustainable living space that adapts to modern needs while respecting its heritage.

Models | 1:200 Model Front view / Rear view
The 1:200 model shows the articulation and fusion of the idea of adaptive reuse of the old dormitory building (near the rotunda) and the new wing, with the façade and balconies mimicking each other with a similar grid. The new wing is designed to be taller than the adjacent Wilkinson building, such that it could receive afternoon sunlight. An extension is added on top of the old building as an adaptive reuse strategy.

Future of Towns
2 Marshall St, Cobar NSW 2835
Master year 1 term 2 | 2023
Group Project
Proposed Design
The proposed building for Lewis Street, Cobar, aims to revitalize the community by integrating residential housing, a modern RSL facility, and an underground research center. This design addresses rural dynamics, attracting skilled professionals through a research center focused on sustainable mining practices. The underground facility includes a sunken experimental garden for testing vegetation in arid conditions, designed as a public attraction with a café.
RSL + Research centre + Residential
Emphasizing cultural integration and sustainability, the design captures rainwater for storage and enhances thermal performance through passive ventilation. Local materials and a Vierendeel Truss construction system ensure durability and aesthetic appeal, promoting accessibility and improving quality of life in Cobar.
