I am passionate about integrating technology, sustainability, and materiality in design. I believe that these three elements are essential for creating transformative and engaging architecture that contributes positively to communities. I strive to create aesthetically stunning and functionally efficient buildings that have a positive impact on the environment. I hope my values will continue to guide my progress towards better communities and further my future architectural career.

The project proposes the green building incorporating the use of vegetation , planted with many urban suitable species, serving as a natural reserve and a filter against pollution. It will be a gathering hub, a promenade, and a catalyst for urban regeneration, accessible to adjacent neighbourhoods. This project also attracts a mix of occupiers and purpose, creating a new sense of community and social interaction.

The House of Hungarian Music was designed during my time working at the Sou Fujimoto Architects in Japan. The House of Hungarian Music situated in Budapest, Hungary, is an innovative and exciting new museum that celebrates the country’s rich musical heritage
The museum provides a fascinating insight into Hungary’s musical heritage and celebrates the country’s ongoing contribution to the world of music.
I’ve been involved in the general drafting of documents and in charge of the acoustic panels and skylight specially, as well as the ground floor panelling for vegetation and stone pattern.

The ‘K11 Art Mall’ was designed during my time working at the Laboratory for Explorative Architecture & Design Ltd. (LEAD) in Hong Kong.
LEAD had been involved in the Facade Design for the K11 Shopping Mall . LEAD aimed to create a dynamic and immersive space that seamlessly integrated art and commerce. Facade materials include colourful roof tiles, green facades, stone cladding, and curtainwall systems
I had been involved in the general facade design of this project, as well as prototyping material samples . With the need to communicate with local contractors, I was designated to attend weekly meetings, translate and report in regards to relavent informations.
