Tilbury Nature School envisions a nature-inspired haven for children. Classrooms seamlessly blend with courtyards and rooftops, encouraging indoor-outdoor exploration. Children can play in gardens, learn through hands-on activities, and discover the wonders of nature. Sustainable design and a focus on community make this school a model for environmental responsibility and Tilbury’s regeneration. It sows the seeds for a love of nature, empowered minds, and a thriving future.
WONDER SCAPE P: 02
NEW PLAYGROUND
Location : East Tilbury
Year : 2023 ( year 3, semester 1 )
The goal of this project is to teach people, particularly young people, about Tilbury’s history. highlighting in particular the significance of the ports and forts created all throughout the War. due to its proximity to the ports, Tilbury was regarded as a possible threat and hence became a priority target for bombing. As a result, residences were utilised as collateral.
Tilbury is currently well-known for Amazon and shipping; the wartime presence is no longer there. The project’s objective is to honour history. The notion of shaping the ground, leaving remembrance of the conflict in the coalhouse fort’s topography will help to both accentuate and function as a way of memory by imbedding Them into the lascape

ATACAMA DESERT WORKSHOP
REACTING TO THE CLIMATE
Location : El Salvador, Chile
Year : 2023 ( year 2, semester 2 )
The project’s goal is to establish a design workshop facility at a specific location. The main goal of the structure is to foster design activities (discussion, design, making, and presenting) among individuals (students and professionals) from all over the world while also providing a location that values the local environment.
EARTH WORKSHOP
REACTING TO THE CLIMATE
while exploring the site, I came across the concept of using Earth. Further study led me to investigate art forms such as dorodongo, which creates shiny earth balls. These techniques led me to look into rammed earth and use it as my building material while incorporating elements from Japanese craft.
My main goal for the project was to demonstrate the earth’s capabilities, reinvent how we perceive the earth as a construction material, and understand how incorporating the earth can transform the composition of a structure.

ZERO WASTE PROJECT
Location : Morningside, CUHK, Honk Kong
Year : 2023 ( year 2, semester 2 )
Investigating how material reuse might alter our perceptions of architecture. This project is primarily concerned with how we may reuse waste materials, as well as how we commonly neglect waste items and readily reject the worth or possibilities that these materials usually provide. We chose wooden shipping pallets as the primary material with this in mind. One significant cause is Hong Kong’s import culture. Because of geographical limits in Hong Kong, importing commodities has been crucial to the city-state’s economy. As a result, there is an overstock of wooden shipping pallets.
The initiative looks into how we may recycle waste materials, mainly wooden shipping pallets, to produce architecture such as dog homes.
Location : Broadgate, London
Year : 2022 ( year 2, semester 1 )
This project is inspired by the ideas surrounding the enhancement of sleep through sound, as well as the ideas that sounds can potray a sense of comfort. This ultimately creates a sense of safety and being grounded, with the goal of creating a safe-space for individuals to relax, eventually becoming almost like a second home.
The notion of sound homes evolved from this concept, in which each ‘pod’ has a distinct and specified sound, allowing the user to pick which environment is most suitable for them. For example, sounds of water, the ocean, whales, and white noise are just some examples of the noises played in the pods to elicit diverse feelings and experiences in the user’s brain, allowing for a more relaxed condition.
