A Leap into New Living | The design encourages the use of abstract elements including the placements of lavatory and waiting quarters in the backyard. Furthermore, the skylight and glass installation spanning down the house ensures that sunlight is able to bleed from the top story to the basement. Thus, becoming the link and facilitator between the various floor levels.

Black box theatres, functioning as a cultural hub for art and performances, provide a space to celebrate the essence of creativity and human expression in an immersive manner.

This project investigates the polarizing architectural style between minimalist and maximalist design. Each theatre explores the transformation, application, and manifestation of architectural materials in the performance space. The first theatre aims to emulate the aesthetic of tropical modern architecture through tactful use of wide-gauge glass, organic materials and lush vegetation - to which contrasts the second theatre's strong focus on faux and superficial materials.

Moving Meditation | Motion as an arousing quality becomes the premise of this architectural exploration, especially to decipher how bodily experience can be dissected or constructed as contemplating edifices or thought-provoking landscapes. The progression induces new information, which is exchanged, carried, and transformed as physical paper models.
