02 Poly Haiyan Resort 4 future awards (Gold Award) (2025) Poly The Sense of Ease Student Intern Summer 2024 Appointment Year: 2020 Completion Year: 2025 Location: Sanya, Hainan, China Area: 119,173.26 sqm Discipline: Architecture, Masterplanning Industry: Resort, Residential Role: Schematic design, Material selection

Sanya Haitang Bay is a top-tier tourist resort area in China. This project is located in the international medical and wellness zone of Haitang Bay, surrounded by abundant medical resources, providing essential medical and health care options for high-end travelers. It is bordered by mountains to the west and overlooks the sea to the east. The project is designed in a tropical island style, offering a rich tropical ambiance and a relaxed resort experience, providing a sense of escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and a return to nature. Poly Haiyan is destined to fulfill the expectations of a perfect storm of favorable conditions, creating a leading high-end luxury residential development.

Massing Strategy The project covers 87 acres, a considerable size, yet its plot ratio is only 1.4. Two clear paths were laid out before the designers. One path was to create a mix of townhouses and villas, driving up prices; the other path was to build entirely mid- to high-rise buildings, emphasizing spaciousness and comfort. Proposal 1: High rise with villas Townhouse and villas, luxurious community

Proposal 2: All high rise The space is open, a spacious public area.

When we arrive at a resort, we don't want to be confined to a small courtyard. This is perhaps similar to the feeling of living in a villa in any other city. Open spaces, encounters with strangers, comfortable and pleasant natural scenery, and high-end, comprehensive supporting services—all these constitute the core of a vacation atmosphere. Integrating tropical elements such as sunshine, white sand, and palm groves to create a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere is a product strategy that most easily creates a unique and distinctive residential experience, offering the highest recognizability and quickly evoking a distinctive resort feel.

6 Internal spatial connection

Therefore, we abandoned the high-low mix design, using a building density of less than 10% to leave more possibilities for the garden public areas. 1. Sufficient space allows the project to be transformed into a comprehensive resort community that integrates hotel clubs, social spaces, and playgrounds, creating a brand-new resort lifestyle. 2. The low density also results in exceptionally wide building spacing, with 10 ultra-long-range views throughout the park, offering unparalleled views from upstairs while avoiding a feeling of confinement between buildings. 3. The extremely low density frees up the width of the unit layouts through the spacing between buildings and sunlight exposure.

Open Public Space Design Strategy A building density of 10% provides ample space for creating public areas. Firstly, the ground floors of the high-rise buildings are entirely elevated, connected by covered walkways, blurring the boundaries between space and landscape. This naturally formed ground-floor landscaped garden transforms the ground floor into a social garden for residents. Through meticulous planning and layout, various ecological and organic flowing shapes are integrated into the landscape, such as dynamic structural elements, shallow waterfronts, and island-shaped planting ponds. These elements not only enhance the layering of the landscape but also imbue the entire space with dynamism and vitality. The 87 acres of land have fostered numerous trendy social spots. Replicating the tropical rainforest of a high-end hotel, the project creates a bespoke art garden themed "Dancing with the Sea, Enjoying the Five Continents." It's like wandering through a fun maze of a pristine tropical rainforest, slowly unveiling the tranquil veil of luxury travel. There are sparsely lit coconut palm groves, blooming flowers creating a southern ambiance, fountains for children, and cozy cafes for adults…

Facade Strategy In the design of the community gate, we used flowing curves and rhythmic tiers to make the building as free and rhythmic as ocean waves, allowing residents to feel a relaxed, resort-like atmosphere even before entering the community. The clubhouse facade features white curved arches, with a swimming pool running through it, creating a blue and white contrast that evokes tranquility and relaxation. As the first community clubhouse in China to adopt a Dubai-style design, it brings the climate of the same latitude and an exotic ambiance, elevating the residents' experience to a new level. We continued this curved element into the design of the residential facades, with large, curved balconies floating lightly on the facade like layers of sea foam, and the staggered balcony design making the facade even more dynamic and free.

Innovation and Experiment

To provide residents with a completely new living experience, the designers made many bold attempts during the process. For example, they brought the residents' dream courtyard to the high-rise buildings—by staggering the balconies on odd and even floors, each unit had a portion of its balcony with a two-story-high ceiling, forming a natural terrace. With a balcony's nearly 20-meter frontage and a maximum depth of 4.4 meters, totaling 53.2 square meters of outdoor space, residents could freely customize their own "sky garden." Even the idea of a swimming pool being placed high up in the sky made it easy to take a swim in one's private pool every morning. Although this was ultimately not realized due to cost considerations, it was still a bold innovation and experiment.

03 Urban Corridor Community Center Academic 2026 Jan-April

Location: Downtown, Toronto Area: 1800 sqm Discipline: Architecture, Masterplanning Industry: Public

The Urban Corridor Community Center aims to restitch the fragmented urban fabric through an innovative spatial morphology. The core design strategy involves elevating the primary architectural volume to create a lightweight, "elevated glass box. This transparent massing not only serves as a visual landmark for the community but also physically liberates the ground plane, forming an open, continuous urban corridor. By raising the structure, the project breaks the enclosed boundaries of traditional public buildings, allowing pedestrian circulation, sightlines, and natural elements to weave freely through the site, returning the space to the public.

Design Concept

Plans & Section

The design mainly follow the Louis Kahn symmetrical ideas. Make the gym and swimming pool stacked together on one side, which create a column free structure place. The other side is density functional areas with CLT column & beam structure. The outside landcape acts like the transition area to the city and community center with trees on grid.

Daylighting vs. Glare: WWR Optimization Strategy Second Floor

To achieve an optimal visual environment without compromising the building's thermal envelope, the facade design was driven by a parametric daylighting analysis. Our objective was to maximize Spatial Daylight Autonomy (sDA) while strictly limiting Annual Sunlight Exposure (ASE) to prevent visual discomfort and excessive cooling loads.

As illustrated in the performance optimization graph, there is a direct trade-off between daylight access and glare risk. As the Window-to-Wall Ratio (WWR) increases, the sDA curve rises, but it also triggers an exponential increase in ASE. Through iterative testing, a 40% WWR was identified as the optimal architectural "sweet spot." At this ratio, the sDA curve reliably surpasses the baseline target of 55%, ensuring that the core active zones receive abundant natural illumination. Pushing the WWR beyond 40% yields diminishing daylighting returns while drastically increasing the risk of overheating and energy loss, undermining our Low-load strategies. Even at an optimized 40% WWR, direct low-angle sun on the West facade and within the large-span Gymnasium poses a severe glare risk, which is unacceptable for athletic and learning environments. To resolve this, we strategically integrated translucent glazing systems (such as Kalwall or frosted glass) in these high-risk zones. Rather than reducing the window size, the translucent glazing acts as a highly efficient light diffuser. It effectively "bends" the ASE curve downward—keeping the glare risk strictly below the 10% threshold—while still allowing a high volume of diffuse, glare-free light to penetrate deep into the floor plate. This material intervention successfully decouples daylight autonomy from solar heat gain, ensuring visual comfort while exceeding LEED daylighting targets.

04 Urban Courtyard Housing Academic 2025 Sep.-Dec. Location: East York, Toronto Area: 680 sqm Discipline: Architecture, Masterplanning Industry: Residential

This project explores a mid-rise housing proposal in East York, Toronto, developed through a close analysis of Major Transit Station Area zoning and municipal planning regulations. Setbacks, step-backs, height limits, and density controls were translated into a buildable envelope that informed the project’s massing and spatial organization. The design adopts an urban courtyard typology, arranging residential units and circulation around a shared central open space. This courtyard establishes a gradual transition between public, communal, and private areas while encouraging social interaction, improving access to daylight and natural ventilation, and creating a stronger sense of community within a compact urban housing development.
