Location: Riverlea Park SA 5120, Australia
Master Plan, Stage 40 and 41
Riverlea is a large-scale master-planned community designed to provide a vibrant, sustainable, and well-connected living environment. As part of the landscape team, I was responsible for updating and rendering the master plan using AutoCAD and Photoshop. I also developed detailed design documentation for Stages 40 and 41. Additionally, I assisted the landscape associate with the Stage 40 neighbourhood reserve, refining the playground design and proposing three layout options for the client. My role involved researching and liaising with suppliers for play equipment and the rose garden, ensuring high-quality selections that enhance the community’s recreational and aesthetic appeal.

Assisi College 02
Location: Upper Coomera QLD 4209
The Assisi College Playground project aims to create an engaging and functional play space that enhances students’ outdoor experiences. My role involved preparing and developing the concept design package and detailed design documentation. I assisted the Associate and Design Leader in drafting and preparing project documentation and made minor adjustments to the playground layout to align with project requirements. Through close collaboration and design refinements, I contributed to delivering a thoughtfully designed play environment that supports creativity, physical activity, and student well-being within the school community.
Waterpoint Stage 6 03
Location: Biggera Waters QLD 4216, Australia
Waterpoint Stage 6 is a key extension of the broader Waterpoint development, positioned along Harbourside Court in Biggera Waters. Overlooking Biggera Creek, the site integrates scenic waterfront views and pedestrian connectivity while maintaining the cohesive landscape character established in previous stages. My role involved creating rendered plans and sections for the Statement of Landscape Intent, assisting the Associate and Design Leader in preparing the package, and making minor adjustments based on project requirements.
NEW SONGLINE IN THE CONCRETE LAWN
The Concrete Lawn at the University of Melbourne has always been a hub of cultural diversity, where students from vaious backgrounds converge However, my individual vision is to transform this space into a sustainbility catalyst, a wellness driver, and an educational cornerstone of our university campus.
Inspired by the profound concept of indigenous Songlines, I aim to create a cultural passport - a living map guided by lyrics from indigenous culture. This passport will lead individuals on a personal journey of knowledge sharing and cultural exchange. My aspiration is to turn this iconic sppace into a dynamic nexus, where culture, nature, and sustainability seamlessly intertwine.

FLICKERING SUNNY SQUARE
Have you ever think about exploring the shape of the sunlight and wind in the city centre?
This project comes alive in a Chinatown square, where the art of landscape architecture meets the charm of sunlight and wind. Guided by careful studies and with the help of Grasshopper, I revitalize this urban space. Using reflective surfaces, special materials, and wind-responsive structures, we create an engaging experience that captivates day and night. This endeavor warmly invites all to enjoy the enchanting interplay of sunlight and wind, transforming a onceshadowed square into a lively cultural hub. It demonstrates the power of landscape architecture to blend nature’s magic into the urban setting.

THE DILEMMA OF THE TEMPORARY URBAN VILLAGE
In the rapidly changing landscape of contemporary China, certain urban villages, like Da Shu Ying in Kunming City’s Guandu District, endure for over a decade, leaving residents in perpetual uncertainty. This thesis focuses on enhancing residents’ lives during this transition, with a particular emphasis on their relationship with an adjacent gated community. Rooted in socio-ecological principles, the project aims to foster meaningful interaction and connection between these two distinct communities.Through innovative solutions, it strives to transform the temporary urban village into a vibrant, inclusive space bridging the past and the future while nurturing a profound sense of belonging among its residents.
