The purpose of this project is to build a supershelter at a self-chosen site in Ladder Street. Our theme is to create a quiet, tranquil shelter that act as a protection from the noisy, chaotic surroundings. Openings are implemented to allow visual connection to the outside but still maintain certain level of privacy.

01 - SUPER SHELTER

04

The purpose of this project is to derive a housing design from a given word (in this case - to fire), which eventually lead to the idea of stacking typical chinese courtyard house vertically, allowing continuous circulation and various level of privacy to take place, also redefines the quality of courtyard space in a vertical manner.

03 - THE MEDIATOR The

site is located at Yau Tong, currently a barely used pier.

The project focuses on transforming the existing site to a combination of ferry pier and bike terminal, serving multiple target users including villagers, bikers and visitors.

In order to activate the site, the idea is to extend the existing pier, connecting to the village to allow a thorough access for both visitors and villagers. The main design method was to manipulate the flexibility of L-shaped units to create different spatial hubs for boats and ferries and at last, adjusting each unit to favour different programmes. Inspirations from stilled houses and floating platforms are also implemented to allow better adaptation to the site with different experiences.

04 - TETRIS The

project aims to bring in the quality of street-life condition into a typ-

ical village housing. This is done by different means of circulations wrapped around the building, each vary in size and width and are programmed for different uses and inhabitation. Moreover, due to the standardised size of unit interface, customisations can be done easily according to users’ preference.

All of these put together an opened, lively and enjoyable neighbourhood for people to live in.

05 - WEAVE Housing for different communities connected through vertical landscape

Situated in Yunnan, a city well-known for lakes and mountains, the housing complex responds to the site context – through a series of stacking contours connecting units for different units plugged in between. Different from conventional lift-and-stairs system as circulation, the contours work as a vertical landscape, smoothening transition from public – the ground and sky-lit courtyards and to private – housing units. These interstitial spaces provide possibilities for informal events and activities.

3 The relationship of the program dovetails to the design. Residential units located at the main mass consist of typicals as flats, and non-typicals in between curving contours as hostels for their more exciting spaces. While retail units, remain at low level for not obstructing the view of housing, are flanked at the long strip facing the street. Zones of program are brought alive, seeping in between each other by the smooth circulation of contour system.
