01 THE FLORENCE RESIDENCES
A private residential development in Singapore.
During my time with P&T as an architectural assistant, The Florence Residences was one of the projects I assisted on along with a team of architects, designers, engineers and developers. The Florences Residences is a private residential development that consists of extraordinary lush landscape, which spans a whopping 389,236 square feet and boasts 128 condominium facilities, is also inspired by biophilia design (love of life and the living world), making it a unique private property in Singapore.
There are 1410 units, ranging from 1 bedroom to 5 bedroom units. Additionally, the location’s exceptional setting across from Hougang Stadium in a landed home development provides unobstructed panoramic views of the surround ing area. In order to get the best wind ventilation and the least amount of afternoon sun exposure, the majority of the units face north or south.
There are a total of 128 facilities:
Outdoor Jacuzzi, Water Bed, Himalayan Salt Room, Laundrette, Ice Therapy Corner, Steam Room, Concierge, Hillside Spa, Waterfall Spa, Floating Cabana, Reading Cabana, Chillout Cabana, Sky Terrace and a Childcare Centre, just to name a few.

02 Shekou Museum
Connecting Life, Memories & Environment
Shekou is a site that holds a lot of painful memories for the locals. Sadly, due to the rapid advancements and developments in Shekou, a lot of these memories are forgotten. What was once a site where almost a million lives were taken whilst trying to seek freddom not only for themselves, but for their future generation, is now masked with high rise buildings. The memories of the brave souls who simply wanted a decent way of life for their familes have been forgotten.
This project aims to recreate the memories of the ‘freedom swimmers’ and re-instill the memory and idea back into Shekou. This museum is an experiential space with the goals to allow users to be as immersive as possible and relive the memories once again.
The main part of the museum will be constructed using a tensile-fabric, allowing different historical scenes to be projected onto it. This allow for the memories to be seen even from across the ocean.
The use of the tensile material allows for a slight translucency which allows users to be able to see the sun, moon and stars - which was one of the ways people back in the days used as a form of navigation whilst at sea.
The waterplay feature allows for an interactive experiencve and makes the museum seem ‘alive’ due to the changing tides. With a sloping ground at the waterplay area, water can go up to calf height at high tide, and go down to the ankle level while at low tide. This allows for an immersive experience.

03 NGALAMAYA CITY
A self sustaining city bridging societies together to coexist Mainstreaming the Marginalised
NGALAMAYA CITY (Our place) is a self sustaining city bridging societies together to coexist.) Loneliness and the lack of social interaction due to the marginalisation from society are both linked to serious physical and mental health problems. A population highly susceptible to isolation and loneliness are individuals who are homeless. This group of people tend to have a high rate of mental illnesses and relationship breakdown due to their past trauma and because majority of them are socially excluded from society and thus affecting their wellbeing negatively. Hence, the goal of my design is to bridge the gap between the homeless and the mainstream society to shift their perception of the homeless and for them to coexist. St. Bart’s City is a modular micro-city of interconnectedness within residents and also the public. It is a multi-use complex consisting of co-living spaces for the residents, commercial spaces, and educational spaces. It is a place run by the residents alongside the management. By allowing the resi dents to run the space it allows them the opportunity to treat the members of the public/visitors as their guests hence, boosting their self-confidence which will instil self-belief in themselves which will be helpful once they live St. Bart’s City to live independently out there. St. Bart’s City is designed in a way where it is like a park connector linking Kensington Street to Brown Street. This allows constant flow of people as it creates a shorter route from Clairsebrook Station along Kensington Street to the Brown Street. With this park connector as a shorter route, hope will allow users to cycle/walk more instead of driving which is better for the environment. Coexisting begins once the members of the public walk through the space. Another form of interconnectedness in St. Bart’s City is through the many green spaces which consists of indigenous plants and herbs.
CONCEPT:
An inclusive, adaptable and flexible space to coexisting to take place. Public spaces are of a non rigid form allowing for many pockets of spaces, creating safe spaces outside of their personal living environ ment.
SUSTAINABLE FEATURES:
1. A park connector, to add more greenery and also encourage lesser use of cars, hence reducing car bon footprint.
2. Extensive amount of green spaces, mainly indigenous plants/herbs to allow users to learn more about the benefits of the native greens.
3. ‘Farm to Table’ concept cafe and supermarket. (Herbs and greens from the edible garden, reduced amount of plastic used)
