Chengdu Luxelake Commercial Community is a transformative lifestyle shopping mall that seamlessly blends the urban spirit with the deep-rooted connection to nature, which is essential to the city’s ethos. This innovative mall transcends conventional shopping experiences to become an embodiment of Chengdu’s unique attitude, celebrating the harmony between modern living and the lush greenery that defines the region.
My responsibilities involve ensuring the seamless integration of various elements to bring the mall’s vision to life - this includes guiding the project’s progress, balancing functional design, client objectives, and sustainable principles.
I was involved in the Concept Design and Schematic Design phase. I collaborate closely with MEP engineers to integrate essential building services like lighting, ventilation, and plumbing. I also worked with fire safety consultants to ensure compliance with fire codes and regulations. Strategically placing fire escapes, implementing fire-resistant materials, and integrating fire suppression systems are essential aspects to prioritize the safety of mall occupants.
I engaged in close communication with Client’s various departments, including marketing and operations.The iterative approach involves constant refinement of the design to meet their demands. Feedback from different stakeholders were use it to improve the layout, aesthetics, and functionality of the mall.
Meanwhile, we decided to utilize a modular grid system ensure precision in alignment and construction, resulting in a cohesive and polished appearance. The grid allows for easy customization while maintaining an overall sense of unity.
Based on the grid system, the facade is carefully designed to enhance the functionality of the mall. It takes into account factors like natural lighting, ventilation, and climate control. The placement of windows, louvers, and shading devices is strategically determined to optimize energy efficiency while creating a comfortable indoor environment.
Within this grid, a careful selection of materials, textures, and colors is employed to create a dynamic visual experience. I was responsible in coordination with facade and MEP consultant to constantly optimize the design and construction details, in order to deliver a building with harmonious balance between practicality, visual appeal, and seamless integration within its environment.

Nestled on the border between Hong Kong and Shenzhen, the architecture draws inspiration from the rich historical tapestry of both Hong Kong and Shenzhen. Designed to rejuvenate the area after a prolonged closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this vibrant mall seamlessly blends commercial activities with cultural elements, paying homage to the region’s history and diverse traditions.
I have been working on the project since Concept design and now on the Design Development. My role encompassed a multifaceted approach to client engagement and project realization. This includes comprehending and interpreting clients’ needs, offering insightful suggestions based on past project experiences that enhance their initial brief, and proposing innovative and functional design solutions. At the same time, I collaborated with diverse consultants and integrated their inputs to align with the project’s budget constraints while maintaining design integrity.
The project aims to be not just a mall but a cultural crossroads, where visitors from all sides can easily access and engage with the vibrant offerings.
One primary hurdle of this design intent lies in the challenges of the structural design, stemming from the irregular mass distribution featuring numerous cantilevered volumes. Our design vision revolves around achieving seamless, column-free spaces, which necessitated large amount of collaboration with the structural consultant. Balancing this intent with the client’s financial constraints demanded careful study and optimization of the structural framework, while keeping a keen eye on ensuring efficient integration of essential services.

The project is a viewing platform situated in the mountain region of Chengdu, China. The architecture is a fusion of contemporary aesthetics and organic forms, resulting in an iconic and instantly recognizable silhouette against the mountain backdrop. Its curvilinear lines mimic the rising moon, creating a seamless transition between the built environment and nature. Timber is used as main structure of the building, in order to minimize carbon footprint while adding a touch of authenticity that resonates with the area’s history and culture.
I participated in this project from its initial Concept Design phase, to the completion of Design Development, and was involved in all aspects of the design and coordination given its relatively small scale (despite a few challenges in its functional and design-related intricacies).
I also communicated with the Client closely to understand their ambitions for the project and implement those into the design in optimal ways. It was important to deliver the building with minimal impact to its untouched natural context and local neighbourhood, while creating a pioneering innovative landmark that fulfil multiple functions such as meeting, public lecturing, catering.
The project is now being assessed for cost estimation and planning approval. Construction is scheduled to commence towards the end of the year.
Even though the building’s physical size might be compact, its functional and design-related intricacies pose a significant challenge. One such complexity arises from the building’s high ceiling and limited space for mechanical ventilation. Close coordination with Fire Safety consultant were undertaken in order to maintain air quality and ensure smoke is effectively removed in the event of a fire, while not compromising on the original design intent with the dynamic geometry
Overcoming these challenges required thinking outside the box. For instance, integrating fire-resistant materials into the design in a visually appealing way, devising creative ventilation solutions that fit the limited space, and implementing advanced fire detection system that are both effective and unobtrusive.
While timber is an environmentally friendly choice, it does pose challenges when it comes to water-proofing, especially with a large green roof above. To address this challenge, specialized membranes, drainage systems, and sealing techniques need to be employed to create a water-tight barrier that protects the timber structure.
Expansive use of glass also led to increased wind loads and potential thermal expansion issues, which needed to be managed to ensure the structural stability of the timber frame.
Integrating MEP systems in a timber-based building also requires meticulous planning. With the assistant of multiple MEP consultants, we carefully coordinated the arrangement and placement of the systems to maximize spatial efficiency and minimize the impact on the uninterrupted interior design.

Located on a prominent bay location in Qianhai, Shenzhen, the project brief called for more than 4,000 dormitory units to be occupied by the Tencent employees, together with public amenities and a kindergarten on the site.
Beyond its scale, the brief is also technologically ambitious. Expanding on their mission statement, which foregrounds the “user value” of technology and the benefits it can bring to everyday life, they requested that their new campus be an exemplary smart city district, demonstrating the city-altering potential of the latest urban technologies.
The project was the final winning entry from a design competition held by the Tencent company. I participated in the project after the project was commissioned and during the Schematic Design phase.
My responsibilities include producing architecture documentation whilst constantly coordinate with various consultants and responding to client’s feedbacks from weekly meetings and comments from government presentations. There were also a lot of coordination works internally as the team was comprised of designers from both the Rotterdam and the Shanghai office working within the same BIM file, which required us to always be highly precise and organised with our workflows.
The main programs are comprised of more than 4,000 dormitory units, public amenities on the ground floor of the dormitory buildings, skygardens, and a kindergarten that is independent to the dormitory buildings. The goal is to provide the Tencent employees the convenience of technology as well as the pleasure of being surrounded by nature, with the serpentine park always within a short walking distance, and green terraces all around them
I was responsible for the Masterplan to ensure various standards and regulations were satisfied, for example, overall building and basement setback distances, fire operation zone provisions, overall heights, building terrace setback distance in relation to fire-fighting requirements, carpark entry locations etc. A large amount of coordination with various consultants were required, and we faced quite a lot challenges due to the high density of the site whilst ensuring a compliant design.
I was responsible for structure and service/architecture coordination. The structural design adopts a hybrid of column and shear wall systems. This allows for maximised spatial efficiency while still providing the required structural integrity. The shear walls divide the ground floor spaces into multiple pockets which were designed as public amenities such as shared kitchen, gym, library, delivery room, study lounges, etc. I was responsible to coordinate the structural design with the floor layout. It was also critical to take into account the fire operation area and fire truck route design, to ensure it is compliant while maintaining the design/aesthetic intent.
I was also involved in coordinating unit layouts to ensure service alignment, code compliance, optimised accessibility and privacy etc. Meanwhile, to minimise construction cost as well as reducing material waste, studies were done to standardise unit types while still allowing for certain variation in the unit configurations. The unit types were also carefully designed to create standardised facade modules which can be pre-fabricated.

Pujiang, a new iconic city near Chengdu, China, with a carefully designed new Masterplan is envisaged to be the beacon for all Sichuan province. The future driven identity merges with a deep natural background to become the new paradigm for sustainable development.
The brief calls for a Civic Center, a Conference Center, a 5-star Hotel and six Office buildings as part of the new masterplan, to accommodate large international conferences and serve as the new city hub for Pujiang.
As part of the design team, I participated in the project from its initial concept generation to final deliverable production. The team member are based both in Rotterdam and Shanghai, and we worked around the clock to ensure a smooth delivery of the project. We have also engaged sustainability and structural consultants to optimise the design to achieve a near zero carbon design in response to the design brief as well as China’s carbon neutral goal for 2060.
The project was selected as the Winning Scheme in December 2021.
The water, valleys and mountain peaks are the important character that form the local identity. The design intends to preserve the precious natural resources here, while paying tribute to it by creating architecture that draws inspirations from these elements and blends itself within the surroundings.
I was responsible to configure the internal layout of the Civic Center, the Conference Center, and the Hotel as per the design brief and produce the technical drawings with constant coordination with external specialists.
We worked closely with both the sustainability and structural consultant to arrive at numerous sustainable design strategies such as maximising biodiversity to create an urban ecosystem, and provision of rainwater re-use system, natural ventilation, and green roof etc. to reduce cooling load and mitigate urban heat island effect.
From a social aspect, the design is also highly sustainable by re-using local building materials, adopting regional crops and species for the landscape design, creating car-free pedestrian environment for user safety, various outdoor activity space to cater for different communities in the neighbourhood. The overall urban strategy is focused on people, defining a pedestrian oriented development.

The project requires the development of a new bioresources facility at the University of Newcastle to support current animal based researches and cater for future expansion in capacity and capability.
The combination of architecture and engineering design ensures the building to perform consistently at a very high level, provides a platform of excellency supporting best practice animal husbandry, care and well-being whilst also addressing limitations resulting from outsourced animal breeding and deficiencies in existing infrastructure. The building, with its construction due to completion in November 2020, seeks to establish an environment for students and staff that will support the University’s approach to problem-based learning, and attract the world’s best researchers and global innovation leaders.
I was involved in the project from Conceptual Design, Design Development, Tender, and to Construction which was completed in early October, 2020. Working on this project has given me the opportunity to work in an independent role as the primary point of contact between the design team and various parties including project managers, contractors, consultants etc., to ensure the design intents are followed through with all relevant requirements/compliance achieved, while ensuring a smooth delivery of the project.
A key element of the design is to achieve maximum flexibility within the constraints of the budget. The internal layout has been carefully designed to allow for built-in flexibility and provision for expandability of specific zones of biological operational activities.

The building contains sensitive research animals and equipment across various barrier levels and for this reason there are a number of key issues to be resolved in the design, such as acoustic and vibration requirements, objectionable exhaust air management, barrier retention to ensure a highly clean environment, circulation and flexibility, and human amenity (with consideration to natural light while specialised artificial lights were utilised for majority of the building due to animal facility requirement).
The combination of architecture and engineering design ensures the building to perform consistently at a very
level, reflecting the valuable nature of science and research undertaken within.

The architectural massing is derived from site constraints, internal functional requirements and the ambition to create a simple and elegant form that nestles into the sloping topography amongst more prominent buildings rather than dominating.
The façade is both a result of the secure functional role of the BRF and a response to the flexible, evolving and progressive nature of the activity within and around. This is realised through the expression of a rigid, ‘raw’ metal cladding to both the Ground and Roof Levels, juxtaposed with a simple, calm, flowing expression of refined materiality wrapping Level 01.

Monash University associates itself with best practice and setting global benchmarks in both Academia and Research. Smart use of technology, design for change, flexibility and adaptability are critical properties.
The University seeks to establish an environment for its students of Biomedical Sciences that will support the University’s innovative approach to pedagogy. Flexibility, multidisciplinary interaction, and achieving a superior student experience are important considerations.
I was involved in the project from Design Development through to Construction stage. While a significant amount of communication with various parties was required due to the high performing nature of the building, the tasks required continual coordination and integration of information and project material from project consultants, specialists and suppliers, and documentation productions in accordance with the project contract and project procurement procedure.
The building is consist of interlocking L shaped Labs with flexible breakout teaching spaces at one end and prep and service pods at the other end come together to form the Flexi Lab.
The laboratories are configured in an ‘L shape’ and wrap around a central glazed satellite preparation area providing smaller-scale more intimate laboratory environments for 60 to 120 students. Alternatively, the four laboratories can be combined to provide a space for up to 240 students.
The innovative new Biomedical Learning and Teaching Building also features a 1,200 square metre informal learning hub that can accommodate 400 students, averaging 90 informal learning seats per floor.
The biomedical pattern that is integrated into the East and Western façade of the building is also reflected in the pattern design of the atrium ceiling.
The generation of the ceiling pattern involves extensive coordination with services within the ceiling space, to ensure acoustic and service requirements are achieved, while creating a flowing expression with standardised modules.
The facade frit pattern is inspired by the biomedical reference imagery. Optimisation of the frit locations and coverage has been developed to meet the energy reduction, daylight and comfort targets. It also assists in disguising the floor slabs and suspended ceiling voids when viewed from outside, and strengthens the singular reading of the projecting forms.

The project is a five-storey building accommodating new and emerging pedagogies by providing highly flexible formal and informal learning spaces.
The building is sympathetic to the campus heritage and identity, contributing to the ‘Bluestone Campus’ character in both form and colour. It also engages with the wider campus landscape; the singular sculptural form creates a clear and direct response to the main oval.
I was in involved in preparing the Construction drawing package, integrating and coordinating information and project materials from consultants and contractors, to ensure timely delivery of accurate documentation and smooth running of the construction.
Entering the building, the common atrium is revealed with the sweeping staircase encouraging movement and participation. The interiors is seen as an extension of the external concept whereby the striking external envelope is continuously visible throughout the interiors. In this way the building acts as an education tool to engage students and encourage exploration with what is occurring in the learning and teaching spaces. While the elongated windows allow for amazing outlooks and daylight into every space, they also act as sun-shading devices for the ESD initiatives.
The building is intended to act as education tool itself whereby selected structural and service elements are visible, but done in a refined and sophisticated way. In the classrooms and laboratories, multi-service active beams are hung from exposed soffit to explain the environmental and servicing requirements of the Greenstar building with drop panels for acoustics.
The internal laboratory concept is taken from current trends in medical research institutes whereby long benches promote a collaborative learning environment.
Finishes are a combination of natural materials such as exposed concrete and blackened metal and glass, punctuated with bright colours and textures with a consideration for the environment with all selections.

The project is a five-storey building housing the current Shepparton Art Museum, visitor centre and another local gallery. It is a significant development in the region due to its potential to become a key pedestrian route and to provide connection to the indigenous culture. The building presents itself as a singular, powerful composition of abstract sculptural elements placed in the landscape.
My tasks on the project involved gaining understanding of client objectives and requirements as well as knowledge of precedents, environments, history and culture that might influence the design. I was also involved in cooridinating with different stakeholders of the museum and providing suggestions on what external consultants to engage.
The park is SAM’s greatest asset and the design capitalises on this and conceives a sculptural building-in-the-park. The building service and loading dock areas are buried under a mound creating an Art Hill above them. Not only are they completely screened but it has the added benefit of creating two ground levels to the park – a standard ground level, and an upper ground level.
Street verandahs characterise regional and country towns. They provide shade, shelter, identity, gathering and meeting places. The design creates a contemporary interpretation of the street verandah on each of the four facade responding to different use and orientation.
Rather than having designated galleries displaying art and artefacts the building is conceived as an art container - not one gallery but every space and every moment in and on SAM is a gallery display opportunity, be it stairs, lobby walls, lift wells, facades, external toilet block roofs. Every surface presents an opportunity for display, event or installation.
The building is an outstanding work of architecture in both appearance and performance with simplicity, clarity and memorable identity. It makes an outstanding contribution to Shepparton and Victoria Park Lake by substantially expanding the park including a dramatic Art Hill screening all building services and surrounding SAM in parkland.
The final project provides a highly legible, highly transparent and highly accessible art museum focused around an open, generous circulation, with maximised curatorial freedom.
Exterior view Exterior viewThe recent waves of migration has directly lead to a rapidly growing population and a severe housing shortage in Berlin. A new, digital turning point in building would have to become an incubator of rational urban development – producing modular buildings without monotony, with social integration as potential, with flexibility and a subsequent increase in density as prerequisites for an urban future.
The project focuses on this theme based on a real scenario in Berlin. The design approach adopts the tower typology with prefabricated construction method and low construction area to consolidate the area sustainably, and minimise the impact on existing green spaces.
The W Towers [Social Housing]
Group Work (2) Berlin, 2016
The final outcome is four twenty-one level towers each with 22 different apartment layouts, ranging from 1 bedroom studios to 3 bedroom apartments, in which can be arranged and combined differently according to specific needs. The apartment layouts differentiate from the conventional social housing plans with relatively long depth and inflexible rooms squeezed in rectangular plans, but offers modern and unique life styles, with its more open and efficient living spaces.

The whole scheme allows a big variety of flat sizes and configurations, which are all thought in a modular system. By shifting and intersecting the walls, the scheme avoids rectangular plans with relatively long depths, but rather creates unconventional social housing types with more luxury and flexible options. Every single square metre has been adapted to its maximum use, meanwhile, the majority of the flats will receive South light.
The ground floor keeps it’s space open to the public. It offers services like small shops, some bike storages and garbage storages. As the building gets taller some public programs are offered including a kindergarten and a meeting space.
The prototypical building articulates itself in shape of a high-rise typology. In this way the impact to its surrounding is as little as possible and at the same time it can inhabit a large amount of people.
According to the German Building Law, the planning of building should always consider the setback area to prevent over-shade (setback distance from building edge = building height x 0.4). The setback distance of each building must be respected and cannot be overlapped. This is also one of the critical factors that determine the shifting outline of the architecture.
The site already has a quite dense population and the majority of the residents tend to be elderly people who have been living there for more than 10 years. The proposal tries to minimise the impact on the local residents and improve the urban condition, by articulating the buildings in high rise typology and maintaining 90% of the vegetation on site. The landscape design differentiates from the rigid form of the building and forms a dynamic pattern that is developed as free as possible. This provides a light yet energetic background for the high rise towers, and marks out two gardens between the building with distinct atmosphere: a ‘paradise’ and a ‘secret backyard’. More importantly, the proposal requires minimum maintenance and allows the current residents to appreciate the existing condition.
By choosing industrial standardised materials the building cost can be reduced and at the same time it allows for a light and contemporary modular appearance. The facade elements can be prefabricated and transported on site by trucks. The three main materials are concrete shear walls, glasses, and metal meshes.
In response to the unique configuration of the plans, the building structure adopts a shear wall and beam system. The length of the shear walls are calculated based on the maximum span of the beams. Each component is also standardised based on the construction grid.

The independent galleries are clustered together in a simple yet dynamic language - there is no interruption of the overall impression by any secondary elements, which has nothing to do with the artists’ statements. No visual boundaries or threshold were added to the structure - the act of approaching and participating it through the forest of columns on the concrete podiums complete the architecture and transform the architecture to a progression of experience.
The museum is here to serve the exhibition of artworks while adding layers of information onto them and providing overlapping perspectives that allow the users to form their distinct ‘whole’.

A contemporary maker lab that accommodates diverse makers/communities in Collingwood (Melbourne)and integrate different elements that exist in the suburb.
By introducing a diverse range of programs and blend them through the visitor’s journey, it re-activates the community and encourage social interaction. Spaces are defined in multiple ways to allow for both private, semiprivate, and public activities.
To introduce diverse elements that exist in the community and integrate them in the project in order to encourage not only connections between makers and public but also among different communities in the neighbourhood.
The concept of the blend lab is to provide a space for people with creative minds to share their knowledge and allow different activities in the community to happen at the same time while still allowing for private, semi - private, and public preferences. It encourages people to interact with each other and participate in the making through a series of ‘distractions’ within the circulation. The spatial relationships between the makers and public are constantly challenged to reinforce the concept and injecting playfulness to the project.
St Kilda as a suburb has gone through major transformations since the 2000s, however one element that has seen little change is the St Kilda foreshore. The site of the former Brookes Jetty is a perfect opportunity for an urban intervention that will not only reshape this part of the foreshore above the water line but provide an opportunity to rehabilitate and reimagine the sea life below.
‘Forest On The Sea’ is a destination and reimagination of the previous Brookes Jetty and a reflection of its surroundings. It consists of three key elements; The Rock Pools, The Canopies, and The Walkways that will be linked to its surrounding programs such as Luna Park and Acland Street through the future promenade along Shakespeare grove. ‘GeorgeRobinsonalsorelatedaKulinstorythatBunjil,theancestralcreatorplacedrocksatStKildatostopthewatersofthegreatflood...’
The Rock Pools serve as the focal point of the project where a symbiotic relationship between people, built form, flora and fauna occur. The 17 rock pools that are made to mimic rocky shorelines will help to significantly increase biodiversity in St Kilda. These rock pools will also provide intimate areas where the public can relax and interact with the local sea life. A series of canopies rise up from the rock pools to provide shading, jumping platforms and viewing platforms at different heights for the public to interact with. An elevated Walkway links several of the canopies back to the existing stormwater outlet forming a bridge from the foreshore to the rock pools linking land and the people, with the water and sea life of Port Phillip Bay. The walkway acts as a point of reflection on this once prominent and popular spot whilst also serving the programs expected of the jetty in Port Phillip Bay.
