PROFILE

A fresh Graduate of LASALLE College of the Arts with experiences in Interior and spatial deisgn projects. Among all artistic fields, the choice of spatial design came with my passion for creating interesting and thoughtful spaces. To me, aesthetics and practicality of spatial design co-exist, rather than contradict. I also believe that the success of the design concept is not only reflected in the overall visual effect but also in the details.

CHYE SENG HUAT HARWARE - POTTERY 2021

CHYE SENG HUAT HARWARE (CSHH), is located on Tyrwhitt Road in the Jalan Besar area of Singapore. It was the location of several metal and hardware companies in the past. The name of the building means "re-prosperity" and it was conceived by the landlord and PPP Coffee to pay homage to the hardware heritage of the site and its vicinity.

POTTERY is clay that is modeled, dried, and fired, usually with a glaze or finish, into a vessel or decorative object. Clay is a natural product dug from the earth, which has decomposed from rock within the earth's crust for millions of years. Clay bodies are clay mixed with additives that give the clay different properties when worked and fired; thus pottery is not made from raw clay but a mixture of clay and other materials.

DESIGN STATEMENT

Let people experience the SLOWNESS of pottery making process, to relax and recuce pressure from their busy life.

GRANTRAL MALL - STUDENT HOSTEL X LOCAL NEIGHBOURHOOD

2022

GRANTRAL MALL is a shopping mall built in 2005, located in Clementi. And it is surrounded by a very mature local neighbourhood. This neighbourhood includes HDB buildings, Shopping malls and commercial buildings, Hawker center and Bazaar, Carpark and a MRT station which is just near the site. The Clementi town center is where the locals who live in the surrounding HDB usually do their daily shopping, dining and hanging out.

ISSUE

There are more and more public spaces in student hostels nowadays, in order to allow more opportunities for students to interact with each other in their daily lives. But the student hostels in Singapore are too isolated from the local community. The lack of connection to the local community causing the foreign students' interaction within the student hostel are too limited to the foreign students themselves, and it is not conducive for them to adapt to the local culture and life.

OBJECTIVE

"Tobreaktheboundarybetweenthestudenthostelandthelocalneighbourhood,andincreasethe opportunityoftheinteractionbetweenforeignstudentsandthe locals."

STRATEGY

Use existing and new programmes to bring the locals and foreign students together.
