GymBox @ Happy Z City Project I Primer Project (Year 3)
A Space For Individualistic Dedication
Based within the hypothetical tower-site of the“Happy Z City”, and one of the many modular architecture attached alongside its lift core. The Gymbox is a 4 story excerise and wellness facility, designed to breathe life and drive personal dedication within its user. In an advent where the average mental health of Singaporeans are on a de cline, the proposition of a excercise and wellness facility is a response to that. However, without proper dedication to take care of oneself, the mental health of one would not improve signifiantly. Therefore, The Gymbox was intentially designed with the concept to cater to different versions of dedication. From Intrinsic private forms to extrinsic methdologies of encouragment. Therefore the design of the Gymbox encour ages individuals to purue their own goals, and yet share a common space Express

The Gymbox at its core, was designed to promote and encourage varying forms of dedication amongst its intended audiences. As such, the original concept of the Gymbox was centered around the idea of Visual Connection, where the dedication of others would be put on a pedastal encouraging those around them. Further into my ideation, I then realised that there are those who prefer to have their times of dedication excercised privately. As such, I then proposed for a space which possesses both of my suggested atributes, and therefore, “a space for varying forms of dedication” Evolution

33Project III - Introduction
The Eco-Link and its concept for a community bonded by nature was inspired by the Kam pong Bugis Site report and Masterplan propo sition done before this project (See pg 01-01) With the original area possessing areas in where individuals and groups gather around and under the shade of trees, as well as clubs and hobby groups utilising the space for ac tivities. The link of nature was always present within their time at the site. Thus I hoped to take advantage and inspiration from that analysis to carry on to this project.

Eco-Link Concept Envolution Stage 1 Initiating the project, I knew that the most import ant site conditions are the sunpaths, wind direction and the views of the river Stage 3 In addition to the intended allotment plot and garden area, environmental decks were utilised to take advantage of site features. Stage 2 The shape and form of the estate was designed to maximise views and wind patterns into the site Stage 4 In order to encourage fur ther views, a balcony and curtained wall facade was incoperated within each individual units.

On the first level of the Eco-Link, lies the community gardens and the allotment farms, meant as a space for residents to grow their own vegetations, and at the same time the bonds that they could make whilst working together to grow their hobbies. The central courtyard garden in based in the middle of the estate in order to create more visual attration to the community garden from the units. This so that users would be able to meet up and be more connected with their neighbours as they notice them working from their own

The low height of level 2 was intended to create a space which is more exclusive, yet still be bonded with nature itself.
Atop the roof of the Eco-Link, lies the rooftop gardens leveled from the 5th to the 7th story. The Rooftop gardens were intended to be an alternative space where residents would be able to gather and be intuned with nature. The Staggeing heights of the Roofop gar dens were intended to maximise views for each garden. intended for units who shrink in view further from the river Additionally the Rooftop gardens also utilise small light pavillions for residents to view this place as a proper space for rest

The driving concepts for this masterplan are “Empowering CommunitiesEnlivening Spaces - Embracing Nature”, which was intended to combat the sociological stigma that spaces within the central buissness district would not be able to be green and open spaces. Through this Masterplan project, our main priorities were indeed, to encour age more green spaces, and at the same time, be courteous to surrounding in fastructure and spaces. This is to encourage a more seemless ueser experience as they enter the site and interact with the environment around them. communities Spaces

The Satoyama House Project IV Primer Project (Year 2)
Pacing the family Located in 11 Jalan Islin, the satoyama house is a residential terrace housing utilising a Light Gauge steel DFMA System. The concept of the house was to slow down the fast paced lifestyles of its residng family members. With families taking up more repsonisbilities and duties within their school and workplaces. The Satoyama house was deisgned to provide a place of repsite for weary and hastened individuals. The Satoyama house was designed to utilise the art of the Satoyama concept which is to admire greenery. It is through that concept which drives the green spaces and the opportunities for individuals to slow down and take in their surroundings fully.
61Project V - Introduction
62 Project V - Concept
With the “Satoyama House” Utilising the art of the satoyama concept to admire greenery, was derived from the growing stresses and fast paced lifestyles of everyday Singaporeans. Therefore the concept which drives green spaces and slowing down the pace of life of its inhabitants. This is mainly exemplified through its courtyard, which affects all levels of the house, by creating a crevice that makes its inhabitants walk around it. Allowing for the appreciation of the greenery below and effec tively slowing down the day to day processes of its Satoyamausers. Concept

Project (Year 2) A Natural Respite
“Eden” is based on the Rooftop of Funan Mall, within a quite and tranquil landscape, possessing an encompassing vast view over Singapore’s CBD Area. The inspiration of a grove concept was derived for “Eden” is derived from a personal experience of peace and comfort created by the site’s enveloping greenery during a site. As Such I plan on capitalising on the present tranquil ambience of the Site, to create a safe space of respite for all to rest and ease into relaxation, only to be enhanced by the aesthetic and ambience of nature.

The further development and the name of my proposed community center was inspired by the “Garden of Eden” from biblical story of Christian Media. In which, it was coined as a luxurant place of paradise and rest, with “every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food”. As such, the concept of a teahouse was inspired by the bountiful trees of plesant fruit and sight, and the multipurpose hall was inspired by its desciption of a place for “supposed freedom of choice”.
