Letter of recommendation for Ng Adrian
It is my pleasure to provide this letter of recommendation for Ng Adrian for any opportunities he may be pursuing in the field of architecture and the built environment Despite his young age and lack of experience, he has proven to be a committed landscape designer, contributing to the company’s growth.
Adrian is a reliable team player when it comes to carrying out design work. When in doubt, he is not shy from asking and questioning design decisions It shows that he is thinking and not merely doing rote work His positive impact on the workplace environment and team morale can be seen in his willingness to share knowledge, take time to guide interns and develop their skills, and his enthusiasm when participating in company social activities
Adrian is a self-motivated learner exploring new knowledge and skills beyond landscape design In a pharmaceutical facility project, Adrian has a keen interest in construction knowledge by referring to online references and Astrid Zimmerman’s books on construction detailing. Adrian has been a vital help during critical submission periods for several projects and design competitions, such as the revitalization of the roof garden on top of a 1950s government building and the construction of a swale for a Buddhist temple
I highly recommend Ng Adrian to further his study in higher education, which would provide him with a design foundation and help develop his skills as a designer Adrian's ability to juggle work and employ his focus in different facets of design and project work is a testament to the adaptability required in the industry

BREATH BLOC
In 2099, the Breathe Bloc thrives as a climate-adaptive, communal space designed for a dynamic population. Modular housing expand their homes by adding modular cubes, adapting the building structure to their evolving needs. Communal spaces crafted for connection, offer shaded outdoor seating, collaborative work areas, and shared gardens where residents gather,
The architecture prioritizes environmental integration, using stacked modular boxes that support green terraces on exposed Woolly Bush, Kangaroo Paw, and Coastal Cushion Bush thrive on the rooftop terraces and in the swales that surround the built environment but also serve as natural cooling zones. Water in the swales evaporates, reducing local temperatures allowing sunlight and water to reach plants, creating a lush, verdant landscape within this urban setting.
Buildings are stacked to allow ventilation gaps that channel the southwestern breeze through the spaces. Operable ventilation heat, the facade treatments vary based on orientation: operable louvers on the east and west sides block direct sunlight CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber) in walls reduces embodied carbon and provides insulation, further mitigating urban heat embraces them, adapting nature and design for a sustainable future.

PARA-MOUNT
Para-mount will become catalyst to revitalize Somerset Belt and breathe new life into the area. A shared space for nature and humans created through the integration of softscape and hardscape on mounted form. The inclusion of unique features with Somerset Branding to elevates and builds a unique sense of youth identity.
The contour of the landform creates a delicate balance between the manmade and natural spaces in ParaMount. With the mixture of Hardscape & Softscape with balance, this space allows users to enjoy skating activities on a mounted hardscape, or simply act as a spectators in the softscape area, while appreciating the lush greenery. The 2 elements give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another, hence, manifesting a yin-yang concept.

HOBBIES
Outside of architecture, I love diving into a variety of hobbies like composing songs, playing instruments, swimming, soccer, drawing and many much more! I also had a lot of fun being part of the Judo Club at Singapore Polytechnic and University of Western Australia, where I got to represent the school in a few competitions.
These experiences have taught me a lot about adaptability and staying disciplined—skills that I think will come in handy in the world of architecture.
