PROJECT 01 MINDSPACE
Design concept
This project aims to create an urban healing system for young professionals in Singapore’s CBD by combining architectural design with digital technology. It introduces flexible, private micro-rest spaces across the city, supported by a mobile app for exploration, booking, and personal well-being tracking. Through a subscriptionbased model, small and medium-sized enterprises can provide employees with access to these spaces. The design not only helps reduce workplace stress and improve mental health but also brings a sense of calm and humanity into the fast-paced urban environment.
Site Analysis
Human Traffic Flow Diagram
Locaton Selection
The design location selection is based on identifying frequently used routes in people's daily movement patterns, focusing on underutilized points along these paths. These areas do not disrupt the existing rhythms of people's habitual routes; instead, they offer additional possibilities within familiar routines, encouraging spontaneous exploration and enhancing everyday experiences.

Provides semi - open, individual cubicles where users can enjoy a brief, private respite amid their busy schedules.
Roof Layer
The topmost level employs expansive areas of semi - transparent fabric, providing a therapeutic interplay of light and shadow.

Parental Sanctuary: Equality
Haven in Ladywell
Equity, Diversity,and Inclusion
The Parental Sanctuary is designed with the aim of promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion, while facilitating better communication with nature and oneself, specifically tailored for the parents of the Ladywell community. In today’s fast-paced society, the park provides parents with a unique space to relax, alleviate anxiety, and nurture their mental well-being. Its goal is to create an inclusive environment where all parents feel respected and valued. Whether they choose to immerse themselves in the healing gardens or participate in yoga classes to relieve stress, every parent can find a suitable way to unwind. In the healing gardens, parents can feel the breeze, listen to the flowing water, and smell the flowers to release their stress. Additionally, due to the park’s proximity to the area, parents need not worry about the safety of their children, as they can still see them playing in the park while they relax. Furthermore, the park incorporates family-friendly design elements to ensure parents can enjoy the space with their children in a safe and welcoming environment.
Communication With Nature
'Participate in Design' Project with Jalan Besar Town Coucil
PROJECT 05
Design concept
Implementing a eco-friendly environment, integrating more interactive areas between people and nature, while promoting health and productivity, better integrating ecology with people's activities, and bringing people closer to nature in the city. In the city, people can be closely integrated with nature.
DIGRAM
In this area, I've emphasized the design concept of deepening the connection between people and nature. I've use of natural elements in the hardscape design to better integrate it with the surrounding green environment.Through this approach, my goal is to create a community environment where people can visually delight, relax, and fully embrace nature.
CLOUD PAVILION
PROJECT 06 The Wave
Design Concept
The whole space uses undulating hexagons to undulate like ocean waves, so it is named wave. In the design of this space, I used a lot of outdoor wooden materials, and set up trees and shrubs. It is to let people feel the natural feeling and can rest and relax here. Trees provide shadows for people so that they will not be exposed to the sun when they are walking or siting on their seats. The use of bushes is not only for beauty, but also for people's safety.
DESIGN IDER
DESIGN ELEMENT
SHELTER
The Shelter serves as a place to showcase the culture of the surrounding. There will be some art paintings, or posters, propaganda, etc. on the glass. The semi-open design allows people to walk through the shelter and feel the interest of the hexagon.
SECTION A-A
Shelter
Flower Bed
Deck Area
The open area of the site was in desperate need of space for the surrounding school children to rest, better seating and shade for visitors to the National Gallery of Singapore and families taking care of their children, and most importantly, because of the height difference in the terrain, I used hexagons of varying heights to achieve areas for easy access and entertainment. The result is a hexagonal steel prism structure that provides structural stability, scalability, modularity and a unique visual effect.
ACTIVITY AREA
SECTION B-B
Big Horn
Design Concept
In this project, I extracted lines from human movements and applied them to the design. I try to extract different lines from the different movements of the dancers,because those lines are more comfortable and agile. In the end, this horn-like structural building was built at the door of NAFA Campus1, which means openness,welcome, and enthusiasm
Inspiration
In the dancers' movements, we vividly feel the dynamic tension and fluidity of the lines. Inspired by their graceful motions, I select and extract key lines to shape our architectural structure. By capturing the essence of these elongated lines, my design aims to infuse elegance, beauty, and movement into the architecture, mirroring the smoothness and vitality of the dancers' performances.
OTHER WORK
Dignity Bridge
DESIGN CONCEPT
Through the expansion of Dignity Kitchen’s existing facilities, this project establishes a comprehensive empowerment hub for people with disabilities. It integrates culinary training (B&D services), urban farming skill development, and Dignity Mama’s creative retail space, creating an end-to-end system for vocational assessment, training, and job matching—partnering with corporations to provide internships and employment opportunities.
Simultaneously functioning as a community inclusion space, the center fosters public engagement to deepen societal understanding and acceptance of the disability community.
