Driven by a profound passion for intertwining history and heritage with innovative modern development, I am dedicated to transforming urban landscapes through thoughtful design. My focus on urban-level projects and meticulous documentation reflects my commitment to preserving the essence of our cultural narratives while addressing contemporary challenges.
I possess a deep respect for traditional designs, recognizing that they are not merely relics of the past but vital components of our identity.
My vision is to create architecture that serves as a bridge between eras, honoring the rich tapestry of history while embracing the possibilities of the future.
With a keen eye for sustainable design, I strive to integrate eco-friendly practices into my work, ensuring that my contributions are not only aesthetically pleasing but also environmentally responsible and functional.
As a quick and keen learner, I am eager to engage with diverse perspectives and innovative ideas while learning from seasoned professionals. My ultimate goal is to make a meaningful impact in the architecture industry—one that champions sustainability, celebrates heritage, and enriches the lives of those who inhabit built spaces.
<Design for the present that glorifies the past, and embraces the future.=

Reclaiming Urban Voids
URBAN DESIGN
The project reimagines the underutilized space beneath metro infrastructure, transforming it into a vibrant and purposeful urban park. Designed to serve the surrounding neighborhood, the park incorporates a gym, kids' play area, kiosks functioning as shops and markets, and a dedicated pet park that complements the nearby veterinary hospital, The aim was to breathe new life into neglected urban spaces by providing multifunctional amenities that enhance community engagement and connectivity.
The design prioritizes efficient use of space while creating a welcoming and inclusive environment. Thoughtfully planned zones cater to diverse user groups, ensuring smooth circulation and functionality throughout the park. Lush landscaping and shaded seating areas mitigate the urban heat, fostering a comfortable and lively atmosphere. The integration of greenery and open spaces transforms the under-metro area into a dynamic urban oasis that supports social interaction and recreational activities.
All information provided is a 1st Hand information and is being surveyed in first quarter of 2024
URBAN DESIGN
The project reimagines underutilized metro space into an urban park with functional pockets: the Kiosk Pocket relocates the street market, the Seating Pocket provides relaxation spots, the Pet Park Pocket is near the vet hospital, the Play Park Pocket serves local residents, and the Parking Pocket is near the metro and railway station for easy access. Each pocket is designed to meet community needs and enhance connectivity.
