This retrofitting project is located at the current Selfridges Hotel in London, which has been empty since 2008, except for the ground floor serving as a food hall. The concept of thermal baths aims to combine a calm and relaxed journey with the world-known shopping experience.Compared to the existing structure, modern and lightweight pavilions are introduced to signify the bathing area, bringing in natural light and ventilation. Visitors experience a sequence of spatial qualities in three pavilions, transitioning from compression to release.

Retrofitting Selfridges Hotel, Year 5 Project
Visitors disconnect from reality upon entering the hot bath pavilion in the basement and subsequently experience a lighter, more relaxed atmosphere in the warm bath pavilion. Returning to the surface, the outdoor pavilion offers more connection with the outside world, culminating at the public bar on the first floor, where visitors are ready to reconnect with reality.
London City Market
Reimagining of Dagenham Wholesale Market, Year 4 Project
London City Markets is a reimagining of the ongoing Dagenham Wholesale Market project, which involves three markets, Billingsgate, Smithfield, and New Spitalfields, originally located in Central London. The design aims to develop a structural prototype for these three markets and introduce a "4th market" into the current plan. By incorporating the 4th market and integrating landscape within the architecture, this project not only enhances public engagement and spatial intrigue but also improves the working environment.

The project's key initiative is breaking up the mass to create a courtyard and landscape. Architectural elements guide visitors from space to space with an organic arrangement that integrates landscaping. The courtyard serves as a sheltered microenvironment against Dagenham's strong winds and creates an engaging space for the community.
Corridor Commons
Corridor Commons represents an innovative adaptation of industrial heritage and a missing urban corridor with shared commons resourced from the existing context and introduced social dynamics. The project emphasises sustainable construction methods with awareness of the circular economy. By re-boosting activity into existing structures and constructing three new housing buildings, the proposal preserves and redefines the district's identity while providing adequate urban and natural connections and quality spaces to live.

For the industrial heritage, the primary strategy is to minimise demolition or jeopardising of roof structures, honouring their robust character and the distinctive "Sheddaken" roofscapes to preserve and redefine the district's identity.
Three new housing buildings are to be constructed mainly by CLT and prefabricated components from steel to ensure sustainability and efficiency. Thoughtful massing and strategic positioning as clusters, allowing all buildings to receive ample and equitable sunlight, creates a comfortable and energy-efficient environment for the entire district. This setting constitutes synergies with the green spaces in Eem-Corridor, creating quality spaces to live, stay while celebrating the commons in Kop van Isselt.

Noiz was invited to participate in the competition in a highly developed estate in Taipei. The proposal reflects the "East Taipei Super Block," combining the unique back-street culture, a highquality public realm, and diverse commercial activities. A new scene and lifestyle were visioned through three key approaches: the surrounding pavement, the connection of the blocks, and the vertical commercial town.
This project was highly collaborated with the Noiz Tokyo office, and my role included initial research, site analysis, briefing, concept development, drawings and document preparation.

Waterscape in Play
"Waterscape in Play" was selected as the winning project in the competition and was installed in Longtien, a small town in southern Taiwan. The project comprises two main components: the Coral Lake installation and the Fluffy Domes. These elements reflect the unique reservoir and cultural heritage of Longtien while offering an interactive experience for visitors.

The site was surveyed, cleared, and prepared, followed by the mockup and fabrication of metal structures. Temporary facilities were set up, and pipelines for utilities were embedded underground. The main framework was then assembled according to the planned layout. Topsoil was added for landscaping, panels were installed, and permeable grass paving was laid. Finally, outdoor lighting systems were installed and wired.
My involvement in this project extended from the initial competition preparation to construction and handover. My responsibilities included design development, creating drawings and renderings, preparing documents and presentations, and coordinating with clients, contractors, and the site construction manager. Additionally, I managed side projects such as a short film, a picture book collaboration, and the organisation of public events.
MoNTUE Exhibition: Lumiere
The exhibition centers on Water of Immortality, unveiled in May 2021, 50 years after its last public showing. Held during the centenary of the Taiwan Cultural Association, it features artworks and documents from the 1920s–1940s. The display reflects the era’s uncertainty and the sculpture’s significance, guiding visitors through curved walls and glimpses of greenery to discover the stories behind the works.
My role in the project involved proposal development, 3D modelling, rendering, detailed drawings, material selection, and collaboration with museum members. As the sole team member under the supervisor, I completed the project exquisitely within a one-and-a-half-month timeframe.
