CHANGI TERMINAL 5 is the largest project I’ve had the privilege to be part of to date. My primary focus lies in enclosure development, encompassing facades and roofing. I’ve been deeply involved in modeling and coordinating the design of various types of facades, including curtain walls, regular single-height facades, fixed gangways facades, precast concrete facades etc. The areas of enclosure I was developing and coordinating are but not limited to: curtain wall glass facade, precast and cladded facade at the base level, fixed gangways facades, MEP buildings, pedestrian bridges, monorail airwells, cascade facades of Ground Transportation Center, roof leafs.
I was actively participating in developing SD and DD phases documentations, particularly by identifying and documenting wall type systems and developing details. I consider my ability to identify design issues and underdeveloped areas a key strength in the project, as it allowed us to address these challenges promptly and effectively.
In addition to the terminal itself, the project includes a Visual Mock-Up Center, which serves to demonstrate the constructibility and efficiency of the design solutions developed for the terminal. I’ve been actively involved in preparing both SD and DD documentation of this center.
I have additionally contributed to the project by developing action-item trackers, charts, boards, instructions, and other materials. These resources have played a role in enabling our enclosure team to maintain up-to-date information about the project and promptly address items requiring coordination with consultants and other teams.
While working in BIM environment I was developming families and workflows adaptive to the ever-evolving design intent. Due to geometry complexity and its parametric nature we had to generate the curtain wall facades in Rhino, employing Grasshopper scripts. These scripts required constant revision and enhancement to accommodate the increasing level of detail in the DD phase of the project. In order to transfer the geometry into Revit environment we had to develop adaptive families the instances of which could their geometry independently and automatically.
During the Design Development phase, KPF obtained the scope of Ground Transportation Center (GTC), originally designed by Heatherwick Studio. Advancing the DD documentation for the GTC was particularly challenging, requiring an in-depth study of the original design, its rationalization, and the meticulous reconstruction of the project in Revit. This process was essential for accurate documentation, cost estimation, coordination, and the ability to adapt the design as it evolved.

ARCHITECT marked a significant milestone for Ingrad Project as it encompassed all five stages of architectural project development, a first in the company’s history. Previously, the focus had primarily been on producing documentation for the CD and CA phases of projects initiated by other firms. Our architectural team was pioneering in expanding our scope of work. Collaborating closely with the BIM department, we developed innovative modeling methods, project development workflows, and documentation templates, along with creating Revit families and Dynamo scripts. Additionally, this project marked our debut as a General Designer, further highlighting its significance.
The complex features three towers of apartments, with the tallest tower soaring 49 stories high. These towers are linked by a shared podium housing 15 retail spaces, a grocery store, a gym, and a two-story childcare facility. The complex includes three levels of underground parking. A major design challenge was managing the wind load on the towers due to their rotated segments. To address this, additional technical floors were inserted between the podium and towers to facilitate load distribution and reroute MEP lines.
Our team played a crucial role in assisting engineers with MEP lines tracing, ensuring no intersections or interference with architectural and structural elements. Additionally, we took charge of retracing some lines ourselves.
The complex features an enclosed inner yard for recreational activities and a children’s playground. The podium roof doubles as a public space and serves as an extra egress area and fire truck deployment site. Designing the topography, landscape, and water drainage posed challenges due to factors like a 4-meter elevation difference, inner yard enclosure, retaining walls, limited roof assembly thickness, and client restrictions on drainage funnel usage. Developing roof assemblies, slopes, and drainage proved to be another significant project challenge.

ROTTERDAM consists of two distinct buildings, featuring three and two residential towers spanning nearly 30 stories each. Both buildings include mixed-use podiums on the first floor and one level of underground parking. The programmatic requirements encompass various rental spaces, a car wash facility, a two-story childcare center, storage units, and a grocery store. Challenges arose from the presence of a municipal sewer line between the buildings, complicating the establishment of their boundaries. Initially, the plan entailed three separate buildings with six towers (3-2-1). However, due to changes in zoning ordinances resulting from the cancellation of the sewer line replacement, one building was removed during development.
Building A
Podium 1st Floor Plan
Due to significant changes in elevation on the site, the design solution involved one of the buildings wrapping around the inner yard, with entrances on both levels. The inner yard primarily serves as a playground for a childcare facility. The roofs of the podiums double as recreational areas and additional playgrounds for young residents.
My primary focus was on organizing the compartments within the podiums and underground parking, creating functional zones for childcare, retail, common areas, and more. Designing mechanical rooms required inspecting existing utility lines to connect them effectively. Additionally, I designed staircases, egress routes, and implemented fire separation solutions, such as using storage units as buffer zones between parking areas and childcare facilities. Structural challenges arose from the rotation of residential towers relative to the podiums, requiring careful arrangement to avoid interference with parking, mechanical rooms, and pathways.

RUSH comprises residential and office buildings connected by a shared underground parking facility. Each building consists of two 19-story blocks with common podiums, featuring public-accessible roofs. While inspecting the DD phase drawings, critical design errors, including missing structural elements, were identified, necessitating collaborative redesign with construction engineers. Additionally, omissions in the DD phase, such as exterior stairs for podium roof access and porches, required complete design on our part. I developed a Dynamo script to accurately sort and tag all engineering openings, which proved useful throughout the project’s development and was later applied to other projects. Collaborating with the BIM department, we devised a new method of stair development in Revit for the firm, reducing assignment time by 30% compared to a previous method.

Tulsa’s Downtown has been plagued by desolation as the development of the Interstate infrastructure isolated the area and historic urban fabric was replaced by fields of parking lots. This loss has created a void and eliminated a sense of enclosure that is found within a typical thriving urban environment. The oversized multi-lane streets are designed to push people through the area, eliminating the pedestrian experience and the desire to linger. The lack of housing, businesses, leisure, food, medical, educational, and other types of amenities prevent this area from providing a viable living opportunity for potential residents.
Northpark Landmark Plaza Looking East to Detroit St. 9th St. looking south towards park
The core of the proposed THE HOOK master plan redevelopment for Tulsa downtown is an elongated park that is bookended by two new major landmarks and flanked with high density, mid-rise, mixed-use development. The mission of the project is to bring back the life into the Southern part of the Downtown area, the most affected by the desolation. The park contains multi directional pathways that lead to important nodes of interaction and create windows of opportunity to experience landmarks along the journey.
Historic Route 66 cuts through THE HOOK. One of the goals was to reinvent this section of the road and bring it back to life, using history as a cornerstone to restore its missing identity. This destination hub is designed as a pedestrian focused promenade, providing a welcoming center for travelers to stop and explore all while following their Route 66 journey. Beside that revitalization was planned throughout the whole downtown area and by incorporating pedestrian driven street design we aimed to connect the local community with the northern districts of the downtown and the rest of the city.

The GUNBOAT HOTEL strives to provide hospitality services in Tulsa’s downtown to both guests and local residents. It is located on the east side of the proposed THE HOOK Park and is adjacent to Gunboat District, where the residential buildings are concentrated. Such a location allows the hotel to create a seamless transition between public and private environments. Inside the hotel both “locals” and “visitors” can blend, creating a sense of inclusivity and community. It will be a perfect destination for the city’s visitors who want to experience the local culture.
Due to its location within the Cathedral district the GUNBOAT HOTEL is both a visual and social landmark for gathering and admiration. In conjunction with the park and other new development programs, the hotel isdesigned to bring people to the Cathedral district and revitalize the downtown of Tulsa.
To combat the lack of local interaction with Tulsa’s urban life the GUNBOAT HOTEL offers many activities and amenities which include a grocery, a restaurant, a coffee shop, a local art exhibit, an event space, a banquet hall, a bar, and an observatory deck. The hotel is intented to become a hub for social activity in the southern part of downtown Tulsa, bridging the gap between affordability and community-focused hospitality.

The uniqueness of this project from diploma cirriculum perspective is that it was done in collaboration with another student who designed the adjusted community center & fire station, instead of being designed as a stand-alone building. The hotel is connected to a community center through interactive public space elevated by a raised podium structure. The public space features summer bar, restaurant patios and an exhibition outdoor area. This space can be used to host a range of cultural events and activities, bringing visitors of both developments and locals together in a shared environment. The comunity center is designed to have a fitness center and daycare facility, which the hotel guests can also utilize for their benefit.
The hotel’s room options are designed to support all types of travelers with a range of short-term rooms, extended stay rooms, and hostel rooms. By offering a variety of room options, the hotel is designed to be more affordable and accessible, ensuring that guests and locals can easily form a sense of community within the hotel.

The mission of the center is to raise awareness about environmental issues by promoting and educating people about sustainable building design solutions. There are several key features of this design that can help in reaching the goal such as exhibition rooms, gardening classes to cultivate the culture of resource production and contribution, implementation of passive energy strategies, rational integration of the building into the site.
The building consists of two elongated wings that have a 4 feet elevation difference for the sake of site integration. From the central round-shape lobby visitors can proceed to the classrooms on the 2nd floor, to the exhibition center descending the round ramp or to the inner yard. The lobby has operable storefront windows and rotunda which grant natural daylight and passive ventilation. The southern wing consists of two exhibition rooms. The first one has double skin glass facades, which grant excessive daylight and additional noise and sun exposure protection and can be used as a greenhouse. The vegetation inside can create a soft visual transition between the inner and outdoor environments. The other room, which is also used as a FEMA shelter can be used for exhibitions that require complete light control.
The site is adjacent to I-35, the baseball field and the park zone. The interstate in such close proximity affects the site with excessive noise and air pollution. The inner yard of the building is enclosed by the building’s wings which protect it from the interstate’s noise. The primary goal for the site development was to preserve the majority of the existing green area. Visitors can access the roof where gardening zones are located from the 2nd floor. The roof above the classrooms is used as a site for PV-panels installation.

THE CHALET spa-hotel complex is located in the vicinity of town of Paratunka, known for its geothermal springs and recreational facilities. The combination of chosen materials (wood and masonry) as well as the general building’s massing design matches with Alpine chalet style resorts. The style fits the context of surrounding preserved snowy volcanic nature the region of Kamchatka is famous for. The resort can offer various of amenities such as Russian steam bath, geothermal swimming pools, game and billiard room, lounge zones, recreational yard and the restaurant. Six different room layouts were developed for the project. Structural calculations and drawings of bearing elements were produced. Anti-seismic measures were taken into consideration while developing the structural frame, including the division of the building into four independent structural frames.
