Focus on the Family Taiwan

As a passionate designer, I see the world through the lens of art and believe strongly that architecture should serve an emotional function as valuable as its physical one.

I am interested in crafting sensory spaces that resonate with the soul and meet community needs. My approach is deeply rooted in attentive listening and a keen eye for detail, in order to create human-centred solutions.

Glasshouse Studios

Glasshouse Studios Type: Location:

Retrofit 32 Wellington Street, Barnsley

The objective of this project is to design a community foodbank and an integrated architectural ceramic workshop to promote leisure for those deprived of such opportunities. The existing building on site will be retrofitted while preserving its original facade.

PORTFOLIO | Lillian Li

Unveiling the Hidden - 32 Wellington Street 32 Wellington street was built a grocer’s warehouse in the 1880s. Abandoned and cluttered, the building still bears marks of its past as a storehouse and, later, a bar.

‘Unveiling the Hidden’ holds a transparent, textured facade showing the contrast between the decorated front and relatively plain side facade.

Within the structural section is an imagination of figures of the past and how they occupied the building in different periods of time.

Glasshouse Studios

Project Concept - Glasshouse Studios Glasshouse Studios blossoms as a community sanctuary of leisure, crafts, and food in the town centre of Barnsley. Intended as a part of the Barnsley Regeneration Project, it hosts a community food hall, a discreet food bank, a public ceramic studio within an indoor garden (aka the Glasshouse), and a separate handmade-ceramic-tile workshop that contributes architectural ceramics to the ongoing regeneration project.

PORTFOLIO | Lillian Li

Proposal: The proposed structure is situated on a pedestrianised high street, with an abandoned 1800s grocer’s warehouse facing the opposite main street.

To bring a new artistic identity to the intricate original facade while maintaining its built function, the existing building is repurposed as a tile manufacturing workshop in the front half and the food bank’s warehouse in the rear half. The main public interface is the Glasshouse, acting as a passage connecting the public to food and ceramics.

In.Designer’s Village Type: Location:

Residential Kelham Island, Sheffield

This project is based upon the context of Kelham Island’s rise in residential demands and independent local artisans. The objective is to create a polyvalent residential complex that adapts to the changing demographic.

The design targets independent artists of racial minority backgrounds, to encourage and support diversity within the area.

In.Designer’s Village

Proposal: The design features shop units along the busy Percy Street with an adjacent open-plan co-working studio.

These spaces are dedicated to the building's residents only, providing them with working and meeting areas and shop spaces to rent.

Inside the homes, each unit is polyvalent with a large movable wall system that allows residents to adjust rooms to any size needed.

Urban Reveries Type: Art

In this collection, find sketches and photography born from my meanderings through diverse urban landscapes. Each piece is a testament to my fascination with the dance of humanity, nature, and the sculptures we call architecture. This is not merely a collection of images, but echoes of fleeting moments, whispers of life observed. They have become a wellspring of inspiration, infusing my designs with the fluid grace of human movement and presence, guiding my eyes and hand as I imagine new spaces where life will unfold.

Inspired by an afternoon stroll in the bohemian neighborhood, Neepsend, this piece is a sketched collage of scenes.

The drawing also captures me sketching outside The Factory Floor, encapsulating the moment within the drawing.
