Mirrored Pavilion framing wanders year site

: 2016 : Taman Botani Negara Shah

built area typology

: 30 m3 : open structure

Alam, Selangor

Entering the site, we were drawn by a sense of wonder that felt endless as it lingers throughout the exploration. The essence of wonderment and succumbing to curiosity sparked the idea of an experiential path through manipulation of natural light - similarly to the concept of sunshine filtering through the leaves.

Reflective elements at uneven angles best capture sunlight in their orientations, defining the structure to appear maze-like.

01

user and context

The idea departs from embracing nature by drawing in users through frames as elemental play. The multitude of mirrored planes imitate the verticality of the forest’s trees.

Villa 180

living in - among the forest year site

: 2016 : Taman Botani Negara Shah

built area typology

: 150 m2 : residential

Alam, Selangor

The experiential path of the pavilion extends to a contrasting approach towards the weekend lodging to promote a sense of exposure responding to the amphitheatre on the other side of the hill. A degree of transparence from outside going in overwhelms the user as solid transitions to invisibility.

An open plan accommodates the sense of exposure throughout the building in integrating the slope to dictate spatial hierarchy.

The Artisans’ Library of Klang a community social centre year site site area typology

: 2017 : Jalan Besar, Klang : 1200 m2 : community library

A plethora of culture fills the site on a macrolevel - knowledge that belongs to the local community. Unfortunately, these masteries and skills are not populated, rather shared on a superficial level through buying and selling.

The Artisanal Library welcomes the community to its safe haven through amassing the local cultures and creative movements sought to cultivate a sense of belonging into the communities.

placemaking for the urban community

Upon studying the site, back alleys of the surrounding shophouses are often exploited for human scale accommodations such as pedestrian routes and rest stops.

The exploitation of back alleys inspire an idea for the library to have double frontage / entrances welcoming users from both sides of the shophouse.

The artisanal library acts as a community social centre to share artisanal culture found in the nooks and crannies of the area. Sharing of knowledge and experiences are used as means to indulge intergenerational bonds. Adopting an open concept, walls are limited in the building, creating seamless spatial transitions in guiding the library’s users.

The open plans and pocket spaces enhances interaction among the internal and external communities of the site. activity diagram • pockets of individual spaces ‘slot in’ to public spaces • cascading activities to promote engagement across the vertical plane

Co-Op Place

a collaborative working community in the heart of Kuala Lumpur year site

site area typology

: 2018 : Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, Kuala Lumpur : 2, 195 m2 : mixed-use development

Deriving the site’s constraints and tension of the urban milieu, the call for liberation and freedom was brought up as a departing scheme in the design of this project. Pedestrianisation and the existing bicycle paths became tools to denote the axes of circulation on ground level.

The project highlights the freedom of users as they travel through the site and building, dictating their own circulation and purpose.

The scheme of the Co-Op Place is recreation as a form of liberation.

The recreational theme follows through a passive route as it caters for latent relaxation.

interstitial spaces

The programmes are guided by the needs of social groups for work and recreation spaces. In lieau to accommodate collaboration, proposed programmes carry the theme of co-dependence.

With flexi-working spaces and hostels introduced, the project induces a collaborative community in and through the everyday.

: 2019 : Kota Kinabalu, Sabah : 8, 580 m2 : mixed-use development

The project is a proposal for a new Wisma Budaya (also known as the Cultural Heritage Building).

The brief calls for the modernisation of the cityscape, by introducing modern architecture through re-building the cultural centre. Located next to Plaza Shell, a new skyscraper, it was in due time the current brutalist-designed building to be remodeled to pave way for a modern urbanscape.

: 2017 - ongoing : Beringgis, Papar, Sabah : 41, 740 m2 : academic institution

The project is an academic campus for a technical and vocational school specialising in construction. Veering towards ‘green design’, the design of the campus attempts to harmonise the relationship between buildings and the environment.

The project utilises Building Information Modelling in its execution - being the first of its kind in Sabah, using Revit as the project software for coordination among consultants and other stakeholders.
