Ashley Fong Hello, and welcome to my portfolio!

My name is Ashley, and I am a dedicated student currently immersed in the dynamic world of building design. Passionate about the intersection of creativity and functionality, I find immense joy in translating abstract ideas into tangible structures that not only stand as testaments to architectural prowess but also seamlessly integrate with the environment.

ZEN GALLERY Gallery Zen, is an art gallery located on the South Bank in Victoria. Zen is a haven for art enthusiasts seeking to explore the rich tapestry of artistic expressions spanning ancient to modern times, and even extending into the realm of the digital. The gallery has incorporated bamboo and limestone, sustainable construction materials, into the design concept. These materials not only evoke a sense of tranquillity but also reflect our commitment to environmental consciousness.

The Commons is a contemporary, two-storey commercial building designed as a dynamic space fostering community interaction and diverse utility. This innovative architectural marvel is a hub designed to embody the spirit of sharing, offering a versatile environment for a multitude of purposes including office space, a café, and retail outlets.

The structure itself boasts a unique construction using pre-cast concrete panels, ensuring durability and a solid foundation that supports the diverse activities housed within its walls. Featuring a design that embraces an industrial and minimalist look, the building showcases a visually arresting presentation with its distinctive perforated metal sheet. The perforated metal sheet acts as an efficient sun-shading system, effectively reducing heat penetration into the building. This intelligent design choice not only enhances energy efficiency but also creates a comfortable internal environment for occupants.
