Courtyard is a space where nature being intergrated in the building and where people and people connects. In traditional shophouses in Teluk Intan , courtyard is used as an air well to provide ventilation for the shop house. The concept of courtyard is integrated in the proposed building.

The Riverfront Art Gallery is designed to respond to the tidal changes of the river.

During normal tide it served as a gallery space to display art work and sculptures, while during high tides it can be used as an cultural event spaces (floating lantern competition, craft boat design workshop etc)

Aquaponic Learning Center at Sungai Buloh Duration : January 2018 - April 2018 Site : Sungai Buloh, Selangor, Malaysia Tutor : Ar Liew Kok Chuan The Project is to create an Agroculture learning center which formulate environmental friendly design by apply contextual and technical factors onto the architecture. The learning center has taken the advantage of the site by exploring a more sustainable method such as rain water harvesting and aquaponic to operating the agriculture. The building is designed to accentuate the genius loci of the existing site --a simple geometric form interwoven harmonically with the cascading aquaponic farmland inspired by the topography of the site. It is a place where local can temporary escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and learn to embrace the nature through aquaponic. The focal point of the building is the juxtaposition of the plots of mainmade greeneries (aquaponic farmland) and the exising greeneries at the site which created a scenic view ---‘green within green’.

Site Description Sungai Buloh is a place where gardening enthusiasts go to purchase plants, vegetable seedlings and fertilisers from many nursaries located in and around this suburban town. At first glance Sungai Buloh is an area within Klang Valley full of greeneries and its renowned colourful past. It was the second biggest leprosy settlement in the world and known as the Valley of Hope. It was equipped with advanced facilities and remained a research centre for leprosy until today. Sungei Buloh was a pioneer project based on the “enlightened policy” of segregating leprosy patients in a self-supporting community following the principles of a garden city.

2. Water Courtyards as a passive cooling strategies

Contextually the site is surrounded by greeneries and farmlands operated by local community. It has the potential to develop a more sustainable farming method, an aquaponic system to cultivate the organic crops.

Different sizes of water courtyards are proposed in the building which serve as aquaponic farmlands as well as the water plant gardens. These water courtyards also serve as a natural cooling system to lower the room temperature.

However nowadys its economy is then shifted to agricultural and manufacturing based activities while still maintaining the position in plantation sector. Its post tin mining landscape is one of its attraction point where hundreds of tin mining lake has been left over within that area.

Design concept The art gallery is inspired by the spirit of nature : the dynamic form of the building represents the wind flow, the organic form of building represents the flow of water body.

The building is also designed to respond to the sun path direction and wind flow direction. The entrance and the viewing deck are placed facing towards the north and south, in which the direction of the sunlight can be clearly seen through the skylight and the openings on the building facade when occupant is inside the building.

It creates a poetic space where the occupants can clearly feel the time lapse through the light and shadow casted by the sunlight from different directions.

Besides that, the abandoned tin mining lake has been restored and integrated as part of the building landscape (different sizes of water feature) in order to embrace and respect the unique landscape of the site.

Suggesting that the buildng and the nature can co-exist and complement each other in boundless way.

Six Spaces and Beyond Duration : August 2017 Site : Imaginary topography Tutor : Liew Kok Chuan This project is intended to study the scale and proportion in architecture in relation to its space quality and its function. Six spaces are created to cater a family members of five, which consisted of two common areas and four bedrooms. Common areas are located at the highest point of the whole architecture which allow the occupants to enjoy the best view of the landscape. The four bedrooms are arranged in different heights around the landscape which are linked together by walkways and staircases.

Grow With Your House Duration November 2020 Project Competition Design Firm O2 design Atelier Team Edric Choo Poo Liang Bethany Lim Alireza Jane Jobscope Design proposal, Prepare for Competition Submission GROW WITH YOUR HOUSE is an expandable, self-built house using modular elements found in our local settings aim to tackle the housing affordability issue in Malaysia. An increasing number of people are unable to afford a house due to rising land and construction costs. Through our research on the vernacular architecture, our reinterpretation of a Malaysian house allows Malaysians to build their own house affordably on a plot of land in accordance to their needs and financial means.

Lessons from the vernacularof 4 races Modularity and Expandability

In our proposal, we have applied the concept of modularity and expandability as the solution of housing affordability issue in Malaysia. It can be started off by buying a plot land and built the main building (rumah ibu) which enough to fulfill the basic needs of a household. When the household size expanded, more rooms (bilik) can be added to accommodate the increasing family members.

Different Hierachy of Spaces

The Malay House and Orang Asli House define the public and private spaces through hierarchy of spaces.

Spatial Layout

The spatial layout of the traditional Malay house is being reinterpreted and applied in modern way

Scale & Proportion

The scale of a Malay house is proportionate to the human body taking sedepa (approx. 1.5m) as measurement for our Malaysian house grid and modularity

Introverted House Location Jalan Saga SD8/3, Bandar Sri Damansara, 52200 Petaling Jaya, Selangor Duration August 2019-October 2020 Project Residential Design Firm O2 design Atelier Team Edric Choo Poo Liang Lynn Jane Yen Liang Jobscope Prepare Tender & Construction Drawing, Prepare Payment Cert for interim payment, Submit for CCC Introverted house is designed for a Chinese Family of five with a housemaid. The client intended to renovate the house that they have been living in for 20 years by integrating more bedrooms for their grown-up kids. The lack of greeneries and the dark and gloomy interior spaces are always the major drawbacks of the intermediate terrace houses in Malaysia due to their limited façade that exposed to street and also dilemma between privacy, security and community. Thus,the main idea of the project is to create an introverted house that allows the owner to keep an eye to the streets as community yet having its own privacy. The existing gate has been removed to extend the parking space out and create a front entry courtyard for the house. The first floor slab have been demolished to create a double volume courtyard space at the dining area in order to direct natural sunlight into the dark interior spaces. As the client is a nature lover, different sizes of planter box have been integrated in house.
