About Me
As an experienced ar-
chitectural tenologist, i am keen on learning and broardening my knowledge, skills. I found how designers overcome the practical challenges during a series of design, and I enjoy the time while I work the challenge environment. Likewise, I feel that my time in my continuous education would make my potential similarly limitless.

Residential House, Richmond, BC
01
Single Family House, Richmond Year: 2023 Type: Design Development - Building Permit The process of developing the design for a single-family residence encompasses the thoughtful creation of a space that takes into account both functionality and aesthetics. The exterior design is a manifestation of the homeowners’ preference for a minimalist European architectural style.

Townhouse - 20 units, Vancouver, BC
02
Modern Townhouse, Vancouver Year: 2022 Type: Design Development - Development Permit This development consists of 2 stacked townhouse buildings, each with 2 ½ stories and a basement on an amalgamated 4 parcel site. A total of 20 units are proposed, including 6 lock-off units in the basement. We have introduced contemporary architectural features and characters to each building such as flat roofs, c-shape boxed covered porches, large windows, and frameless glass railing. In terms of materials, smooth stucco (with reveals) and Hardie siding will be used on building facades. Side elevations will be used with smooth stucco with reveals in relation to window sizes and locations. It is simpler in the rear elevations; roof overhangs will be extended to cover balconies on the first and second floors and it seems like a box. On the third floor, the angled roofs will be introduced to each unit.

Scratchboard creates a negative image with dark and light areas reversed. It’s creating an image by removing the dark to reveal the white. Because of this, it can make a dramatic impression as a figure emerges from the black background.
