ABOUT ME.
I am a Bachelor's Graduate at University of Sydney , currently studying Bachelor of Design in Architecture (Honours) / Masters.
I am constantly striving to learn more about the art of architecture and better my own design language. Being adaptable and having strong communication skills, I will prove myself a great asset to the team, one who will constantly challenge myself inorder to benefit everyone that surrounds me.

Oasis:
/əʊˈeɪsɪs/ noun
A fertile spot in a desert, where water is found.
Urban Oasis, The brief for this project is to create an escape from the urban world in the form of water - an aquatic centre, or swimming centre. The project is to incoporate a main pool, and two leisure pools, and the space is to serve also as a centre of communal connections and relaxation.
As the building is to be designed on a previously developed water-front park, the proposal focuses on the idea of transparency and connection to the water. As such, the building seeks to not disrupt the previous waterside experience of the park, whilst celebrating the history of the location by creating a journey which leads the visitor towards the front of the water.
MAIN PRECEDANT INSPIRATIONS:
Peter Hall Performing Arts Center (Structure), Leca Swimming Pool (Shadow), Daylight House (Light), Freeman’s School Swimming Pool (Scale)
Project Brief | 11

Harbour water is filtered, and used in the main pool. The water is constantly filtered through its natural pond filter, and the excess water is pumped out into the tidal pool, which in turn returns to the harbour.

JOURNEY TO THE WATER..
Play of elevation: A big element of the architectural design is within the slight change of elevation of the building as the visitor enters into the building, and towards the water.
The flow of space and splitting of pathways was designed to emulate a waterstream, at the same time, the visitor will experience various types of water experience as they walk towards the harbour themselves.

A. PO OL SIDE
A demonstration of the combination of materials apparent within the design. The ground is to be tiled with sandstone, calling back to the sandstone quarries background of the site. The Shou Sugi-ban wall is battened, and is extended from the exterior to within, to provide more contrast with shadow from the sky lighting. The battens are installed vertically, to provide a sense of verticality, drawing attention to the roof installation, and the pool below
B. TIDAL POOL
A tidal pool is designed at the location of the original Pyrmont Bathhouse. The tidal pool is accessed by swimming or walking under the preexisting timber platforms, which provides the pool a direct connection to the harbour water, and the harbour bridge. The tidal pool will mainly use filtered water which streams down from the main olympic pool, which will naturally inturn filter the harbour overtime.
C. MAIN INTERIOR RENDERING
A visualisation of the interior view upon entry of the space. The rendering showcases the roof design with the fabric curtains, the Main swimming pool, the natural filter pond, and the direct pathway and view towards the harbour bridge and the tidal pool. The Fabric curtains of the roof will extend and retract depending on the direction of the sunlight and interior temperature, allowing for a sustainable interior design.

1. The original outlines of the structure are preserved. The northern shed will be merged to the unfinished stone foundation to create an art studio. As the lake also lies north of the compound, this would provide a direct view to the lake from the art studio.
2. The original division between the shed and the foundation will also be preserved, and will now mark as a pathway which connects from the entrance, to the common room and studio, to the lake, through a descending cascade of stairs.
3. The original southern cabin will be split into two private dwellings, with a common space in between. The space is extended towards both the west and the east to provide a direct view towards the lake. Within shared spaces such as the common room and living rooms, the view of the lake will be seen through the studio. But through private spaces such as the bedrooms, the views of the lake are direct.

cockatoo island
Originally inhabited by the Eora People, Cockatoo Island is a land of abundant history. After the British settlement, the island served as a penal establishment. It later redeveloped into an industrial school for young women, and then again, into a major shipyard for the Royal Australian Navy.
The island is now listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage site, and is only rarely used by the government as a place for exhibitions and events such as the Biennale of Sydney. Otherwise, the island is mostly disregarded by the residents of Sydney and rarely visited.
As an island, it can only be accessed through boats and ferries, a form of transport which reflects the character of Cockatoo island, and at the same time, defines the harbour-side nature of Sydney, yet hugely under-appreciated by its residents.

9. ROOF-TOP LOOKOUT
Isolating from the main-land of Sydney, Cockatoo Island remains a site that is both underdeveloped, and rich in history. Celebrating the industrial and educational context of the island, this proposal is a Performing Centre which seeks to provide a space of education for the students of Sydney.
The performance centre as a whole extends linearly between two slipways, into the water. The serated metal grating platforms connects the visitor to the water visually, and audibly.Three small classrooms are built on the sides of the pathway, framing unique views around the island. The roofing of the classrooms extend over the walkway, to divert the visitors view towards the education. The seatings of the classrooms and the theatre decline slowly into the water, mimicing the slipways nearby.
The rooftop of the structures are isolated gardens, providing a safe haven for the abundance of local bird habitats.

The main Auditorium, directing the backdrop of the stage back towards the island and its factory.
The design is multi-purpose, allowing the space to serve a variety of functions by enabling water to enter the lowest level of the audience chamber.
A path leading the visitor away from the island into the auditorium. Along the journey, the visitor will walk by three practice rooms which highlight different views which surrounds the island.

COMPETITION TITLE: CULTURE STATIONS 2021 TYPE: COUNTRY TOWN RENOVATION
SITE: ELINI, ITALY

The Weaving is a design proposal to revitalise Elini, a small rural Italian town in Sardinia. The proposition aims to celebrate the old traditions and culture of Elini by adapting the new to the old.
The scheme includes redevelopments to the train station, a market place, an art gallery, hotel complex and a lookout area. Each designs are iterated through an unique journey, yet the composition of the overarching town redevelopment are predetemined by a mapping of the “weaving” pattern of Sardinia. As such, although the design of each buildings differ, the buildings at different locations are geometrically and architecturally connected.
