PROFESSIONAL PROJECTS

17 Townhouse Development

Owner Developer | Sep 2022 - ongoing

This project is for a new development of 17 townhouses in the the suburb of Loganholme in Queensland, Australia

As our clients are seasoned developers, one of the biggest challenges of this project was to maximise the number of buildable units while respecting the flood zone and the irregular geometry of the lot

As the primary designer in this project, my role involved initial concept design, detailed documentation and 3D visualisations for planning approval In particular, my role required vigorous collaboration with town planners, structural engineers, civil engineers, traffic engineers and landscape architects in order to deliver a well rounded design

1980’s Cottage Renovation

Owner Developer | Jan 2022 - ongoing

This project is located in Mount Colah, a suburb surrounded by bushland on the outskirts of Sydney This renovation project is a part of a larger planned subdivision for multiple lots on a 5000m2+ plot of land This cottage is located at the rear of the site, with expansive views overlooking Berowra Valley National Park Having been unused for 20+ years our goal with this project was to keep the building’s footprint and roof form true to the original, while giving it a refresh with Hampton’s style inspired finishes

I was responsible for designing the building layout, with the occupants experience in mind Bush views are prioritised throughout the property starting from the entryway where floor to ceiling glass allows for direct sightlines over the valley Living areas are located accordingly towards the north to also maximise views over the national park and to take advantage of the natural light throughout the day

The palette included a mix of matte black laminate cabinets, white marble benchtops and grey laminate flooring

UNIVERSITY PROJECTS

UNSW Arts and Design School

Masters Graduation Studio (High Performance Technology) | Term 1 and 2, 2022

Photoshop, Indesign, AutoCAD Sketchup, Lumion

With the merge of the Arts and Design school with the Architecture faculty in 2021, it was time for the Arts campus to integrate onto the main Kensington campus of UNSW

The design aim of this was to challenge the way we utilise and recycle resources in our built environment through carbon positive construction and operational systems Natural materials such as engineered timber and terracotta was used for the building’s primary structure and facade not only for environmental sustainability but also for its positive psychological benefits for its users To reduce heating and cooling loads, methods such as an underground thermal labrynth, night purge ventilation and bore water distribution is used

Liveable Sculpture

Design Studio 1 | Term 1, 2020

Housing affordability is one of the biggest challenges that we face in modern Sydney as the city becomes rapidly urbanised Located at the junction of St Peter s Station, Sydney Park and King Street Newtown the Liveable Sculpture is a built-to-rent scheme designed to provide affordable housing and amenities for low income families of different demographics Most importantly, important links between site and surrounding suburbs are forged while the brick materiality pays homage to the brick kilns across the road at Sydney Park

Modern Murano

Masterplanning and Urban Design (Seidler International Summer Course) | Summer Term, 2020

Photoshop, Indesign , AutoCAD, Sketchup, Hand Sketching

Sited on Murano Island, the studio brief required us to instigate an urban transformation by interpreting the Venice water and land urban system and the tidal nature of the lagoon As a group we designed a mixed use project from an urban to architecture scale Our project was structured around the clear design framework of water, water edges activation of new canals and bridges which led to new urban typologies and urban activities
