SELECTIVE WORKS PORTFOLIO
Balance //
The diagram (Balance Abstract Art) defines the ‘Strokes’ as the diversification, ‘Half-circle’ as natural ecology or landscapes, ‘Circle’ as the complete idea and the ‘Line’ as the communities.
The concept of ‘Balance’ encapsulates the core principles and values that underpin my approach to Landscape Architecture practice. In every project featured within this portfolio, the pursuit of creating a ‘balance’ is evident across various dimensions, including environmental sustainability, social equity, aesthetic harmony, and functional efficiency.
The design showcased in ‘Balance’ emphasizes the harmonious integration of natural elements with built and existing fabric. Throughout ‘Balance,’ there is a dynamic interplay of elements. These design elements are carefully orchestrated to evoke sensory experiences, stimulate curiosity, and create memorable landscapes that engage the senses and inspire emotional connection.
In essence, this portfolio represents a collection of landscape architecture designs including a philosophical approach to design. It seeks a ‘balance’ of diverse elements, creating environments that are both visually captivating and socially enriching.
It is my hope that this portfolio serves as a testament to the transformative power of design, resulting in and fostering great public domains, thriving cities, and flourishing landscapes.

SITE CONTEXT //
The competition brief was to design a pocket park with a key function to showcase maximum units of SVC’s urban landscape products catalogue and offer an attractive outdoor space for staff and clients to enjoy meetings and outdoor activities in Thomastown, Victoria.
Whilst the site is surrounded with an industrial environment, the location and its usability define different interactions with stakeholders and the general public. Definition of various functions was adopted throughout the design process with a deep consideration of design feasibility and future maintenance.
‘Out Show’ has been awarded as the ‘Grand Prize’ and currently it’s under construction.
The project ‘Out Show’ mentioned as a perfect answer to the effective use of space, overall aesthetics, functionality, sustainability and a right combination of hard and soft landscapes. An inviting outdoor venue in an urban environment for events and other activities.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT //
The design process has adopted SVC’s urban catalogue featuring hardscaping materials, bollards, street furniture, planters and paving, and softscaping like plants and trees. The scale of the site is divided by the focus areas viewable and approachable from office space. Limiting the access from parking space is to break the SVC customer flow and create an opportunity for the staff to be involved before exiting from the space.
Brainstorming to the options for the substantial design outcome lead to explore alternative option as a solution. The SVC logo has been powered on the ground as the ‘Landscape layout plan’ which represent the merging of SVC alphabetic logo within the space, acting as the functioning agents. Each element has been placed to merge with the surrounded environment and create an opportunity for SVC customers to feel the actual products in the built environment.

SITE CONTEXT //
In India whenever the words ‘grand’, ‘historical’ and ‘marvellous’ are mentioned about a city, the conversation is either about the city of Shahjahanabad (Old Delhi) or Hampi (capital of Vijayanagar Kingdom - 1500 A.D.) and their significant monuments. The citadel of Shahjahanabad, the Red Fort (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) is a monument which is a landmark in terms of architectural brilliance.
The main palace (or citadel) in which the emperor Shah Jahan and the successive rulers of the Mughal Dynasty lived until 1857 A.D. was known as the Lal Qila (Red Fort). It was called so because of its Red Sandstone walls (Initially the walls were being made of mud until Shah Jahan ordered them to be decorated with red sandstone).
The city of Shahjahanabad as such had eight gates which were locked during night time (in the 17th, 18th and the 19th century). The city had many bazaars, some of which exist even now, for example, Khari Baoli (which is today Asia’s largest wholesale spice market).
The area of Chandni Chowk (Moonlit Square) (which was also the main street of Shahjahanabad) had many bazaars as well. Some shops in this area are several centuries old.
Other important monuments in Shahjahanabad are Ghalib ki Haveli (the house of famous poet Mirza Ghalib), Jama Masjid (Friday Mosque) (an imposing mosque made of Red Sandstone), St James Church (First Church of Delhi), Sunehri Masjid, Gurdwara Sis Ganj and so on.

DESIGN PROCESS //
The concept initiates with a thinking of shifting or stretching the points at ‘X’ to ‘Y’ axis over a 2D ground plan which represents edges of the ground surface. To further extend, the concept is to convert the 2D axis to the 3D model of the ruling force.
The testing process begins with a thought to consider Social context, Economic context, and Access and Mobility context as three primary principles. Furthermore, the consideration will be the grid, the ground acting as a plain 2D surface. Next step was to adopt the rules from the concept. i.e shifting, stretching and extending the power of the principles over the ground surface.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT //
‘Empowering’ could be an answer to the way we design and use the streetscapes in Urban environment. It represents the redesigning of the most over-crowded and congested streetscape with a relationship of hierarchy of power in an organically formed city, which is Old Delhi in India.
This prototype is prepared for an organically self-formed city, Old Delhi, India which follows the value of futureoriented thinking with a deep relationship of feasibility. The street guidelines for the council represents the design process and strategies with modification and adoption of standards.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT //
The plan incorporates necessary functions and principles which are adopted throughout preliminary design process. The layout is designed according to the current cultural and social environment of the city. Specified location has been assigned for movable street hawkers to set up sell their products, public art is considered to highlight the social connection in open space.
The bike path is an example of rhythm and harmony, a language combination of MTB Park in Thailand and Copenhagen’s bike skyway. The prototype assign the powers to community by imposing certain rules to the hierarchy of transportation.

03 // Springfield Childcare // Constructed Project.
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT //
The project brief includes remediating an industrial complex into a childcare centre, giving a human/child scale while creating an integrated nature play experience that helps children to build confidence and initiative through interactions with nature.
Design Response: Springfield play-yards have been designed using predominantly circular shapestaking direction from the architectural design intent. Both yards (senior and junior) are designed to suit the specific age groups of the children using them. Each yard has zones for dynamic and static play, all while integrating nature as much as possible to give children the best opportunity for development.

Mixed surface adventure paths encourage movement, and lead children to each element of the play. Large and raised gardens with eucalyptus trees create a bushland feel, which reflects the surrounding area of the site. A shade tolerant plant schedule has been utilised across the site as the existing building provides a lot of shade. However, where possible a produce area has been allocated to allow the centre to run a sustainability curriculum.

Mounting of the synthetic turf and various styles of edging have been utilised to give a natural feel. Climbing elements are used in combined with changes in topography to help build coordination skills and balance. The age-appropriate design allows children to develop their own risk assessment.
