At the heart of the space, a custom tinted glass installation gracefully captures the fading warmth of the setting sun. Its soft, radiant glow mirrors the transition of light at dusk, infusing the room with a serene ambiance. This artistic feature not only reflects Singapore’s iconic twilight but also harmonizes with the warm, tonal palette, inviting a moment of quiet reflection. The careful balance of light and material creates an immersive experience where aesthetics and calm seamlessly converge.

service stations [tool : revit]

All service stations were designed following a detailed study of Marriott’s F&B guidelines, with a strong focus on ergonomic efficiency. This ensures that each space is optimized for functionality while enhancing both staff workflow and guest experience.

The service station at Swank seamlessly integrates with the overall architectural language of the space, reflecting its clean lines and modern aesthetic.

The service station at Yakitopie draws inspiration from traditional Japanese kigumi woodwork, incorporating its intricate joinery techniques into the design. This is complemented by the space’s existing wooden slat elements, creating a harmonious blend of craftsmanship and modern design language.

bar cart [tool : revit]

The bar cart is designed as a versatile element, seamlessly transitioning from a daytime beverage cart to an evening cocktail station. Drawing inspiration from traditional hawker beverage containers, the cart features compartmentalized sections for easy storage and presentation.

The dining chair for Singavors features a low, casual seating style, evoking the authentic experience of a hawker eating scene. Its design draws inspiration from the graceful curve of the Merlion’s tail, blending cultural symbolism with functionality.

AN YEN RETREAT MONASTERY

PROJECT 05 - GRADUATION PROJECT featured on Dezeen Magazine

interior designer

An Yen Retreat Monastery is a Buddhist wellness centre for adolescents with common mental health disorders in Vietnam, created with a hope to build a safe healing place for the vulnerable community. The project addresses the issue of social stigma against mental health issues in Vietnam while exploring the possibility of combining cultural religion and foreign medical methodology.

The concept is meant to celebrate the prideful local industry and the beautiful meaning of the pearl. When a grain of sand enters the mussel shell and damages its body, the mussel creates layers of nacre that encases the sand to protect itself; from there a precious pearl is born.

Time spent in An Yen Retreat Monastery is the journey of finding the pearl within ones soul – to go within, nurture the inner self in hard times to realise strength and courage
