Bonds - Memories - Friendships
Create@Jalan Besar is an integrated active aging and youth hub based along the Rochor River in Jalan Besar. Situated close to Lavender MRT, the main aim of the community center is to generate chance encounters and create authentic connections between its local elderly residents and the youths visiting their area for their duties.
Through its core Makers and Crafting style of activities, Create@Jalan Besar aims to foster meanginful relationships between its visitors, and to spark curosity and learn more about the production and manufacturing history of Jalan Besar.
Create@Jalan Besar boasts extensive atriums and double volumed spaces, with circulatory paths running around the perimeter. Aiming to create prominent visually connecting and opportunities for spillover spaces.
Utilising circulation paths to create prominent visually connecting spaces
Create@Jalan Besar was founded on the concept of a DNA strand. Taking inspiration from the crossing nature of relationships between the youths and elderlies. The creation of strong bonds through the varying age groups is best exemplified within the main central makers space. Where users can work on projects with each other.
Being volunteership driven, Create aims to promote a circular system of giving back to one’s community, and being actively driven to take initiative for the same cause.
Ultimately Create has an aim to ensure intergenrational relationships would remain ingrained in our DNA - Zechariah 8:4-5

Rejuvinating you, by the seaside
The Riverside Canopy is a space meant for rejuvinating rest and communial engagement.The Canopy was designed with the concepts of a Mobius Strip, and a DNA Helix in Mind. Both representing an interconnected and Indefinate loop, picked with an intent promote a message of continued interconnectedness between the various generations of residents and vistors to the site. with the latter in particular, being a preceeding conept from my latest project found in close proximity.The Riverside Canopy possesses 2 distinct areas, found flanking the main deck, and upon entering the Canopy, the interior spaces is guided by a curved flow throughout, meant to encoueage chance encounters and intermingling. Looking from above sports a unique Infinity symbol styled roof.

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 decline, 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 encourages individuals to purue their own goals, and yet share a common space
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”
Gymbox Concept Evolution
Atop the upper levels of the Gymbox, lies the private gym pods, posed as an attractive alternative space for those whom prefer to work out in private without the prying eyes of others.
In order to promote and secure the privacy of its occupants, the Private Gym Pods are too sloped at a an increasing gradient whence one looks up from the bottom. Making it transparent yet concealed
Additionally, on the highest level, there are feature pods, with views over the cityscape
At the heart of the Gymbox, lies the central atrium of the facility, which boasts views over the compound, with lightwell in the middle of the atrium that grants a peak at the public Gym and multipurpose halls, and looking up, the various priavte gyms and environmental decks
The atrium also boasts an open concept which allows sufficient daylighting and natural winds
Finally present within the Atrium, is an inbuilt Cafe which serves pre and post workout meals
The first level of the Gymbox, boasts its exquisite open box gym concept, as well as its various multipurpose halls and specialised equipment rooms, to provide an experience where ones dedication could be put on display, both encouraging oneself and others around him.
The Multipurpose halls are meant to hold various and unique styles of traning or unconventional sporting classes, like Muay Thai or Yoga.
In contrast with the other spaces, for comfortibility, the Halls are air conditioned

Final year project (Year 2)
Located in Kampong Bugis Singapore. The Eco-link consists of 30 residential units catering to and facilitating the bonding amongst nucleus families as well as their neighbours. The Eco-Link utilises a paneluar DFMA system of precast concrete for a majority of the estate.
To take Advantage of its unique site conditions, The Eco-Link utilises its unique u shaped residence as well as an environmental deck to take advantage of the sites everpresent North-West Winds, and beautiful scenery of the Kallang River.
In order to be syncherneous with its resident park connector, the central courtyard garderns was intentionally designed to behave as the natural ‘bridge’ to the ever encompassing nature surrounding the Eco-Link.
The Eco-Link and its concept for a community bonded by nature was inspired by the Kampong Bugis Site report and Masterplan proposition 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 activities. 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.
Stage 1
Initiating the project, I knew that the most important site conditions are the sunpaths, wind direction and the views of the river
Stage 2
The shape and form of the estate was designed to maximise views and wind patterns into the site
Stage 3
In addition to the intended allotment plot and garden area, environmental decks were utilised to take advantage of site features.
Stage 4
In order to encourage further views, a balcony and curtained wall facade was incoperated within each individual units.

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 gardens 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
On the second level of the estate lies the Eco-Link’s Environmental Deck. Intended for more exquisite and serene space for rest, and if appropriated for gatherings and chill sessions in times for recreation.
This was intended to further take advantage of the views and appropriate winds blowing into the site.
The low height of level 2 was intended to create a space which is more exclusive, yet still be bonded with nature itself.
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 units.
