ANALYSIS
SITE
Site coverage shows at least 7 types of land use, retail, F&B and industrial being the prominent ones. Suggests that residents regularly patronises these areas and will have tourists Very minimal human and vehicular traffic in general. Road filled with more commercial trucks than cars Heavy traffic not observed, rather quiet Site is estimated to be a15-20 mins walk away from MRT station. Roads were mostly one-way NON PEAK TRAFFIC PEAK TRAFFIC

Primary process - constant recasting, final piece is recasted multiplr times to achieve desired outcome

DESIGN CONCEPT
Modules are derived from a ‘pixel block’ as a base zunit and a modular system is developed around it. Further units are added to create an aggregation which can grow in different direction to meet the programmatic function with the idea of ‘active’ and ‘passive’ modules. This also offers flexibility and adaptability to accommodate for future uses determined by the senior citizens residing on site.

Proposed Furniture Board
Project Intention: To create a set of proposed furniture based on a personal style and texture palette
My design intention was to recreate the classical elements inspired by the columns during roman architectural periods. The material and texture selected was pure white marble but each product were then reimagined in different modern color editions. Gold trimmings were added as accents in differnt areas for each product to add dimenion to the furniture.

Proposed Furniture Board
Project Intention: To re-design the space planning to introduce new programs into the famous Barcelona pavilion. Both interior and exterior to reflect a personal style and texture palette
Interior PerspectiveRecording Studio
My design intention was to re-design a portion of the interior into a recording studio for commercial use, with programs and discussions focusing on topics primarily relating to architectural, interior design and furniture trends from both local and overseas context. The space was inspired by contemporary shapes hence the furniture items are created wiith curves and rounded surfaces that can be moved around and re-arranged as desired. The idea was to create a movable background on set so every session has a differnt layout. The color palette chosen were white, black, emerald green and gold, textures chosen were marble and velvet furniures to align with the exisiting texture language of the Pavilion.
Exterior Perspective - Outdoor Bistro Bar
My design intention was to re-design the exterior deck into a bistro bar with a shallow pool. The bar counter also follows the same design language as the interior space, with curve and arched elements being incoporated. The seating areas are also demarcated by black arched frames, keeping the design language consistent throughout the entire deck. The color and texture palette also follows the same theme as the interior space.
