Wyndham City Gateway// Design Studio Air //

In my design studio air, the project was to design a gateway for Wyndham city to welcome and attract more attention towards the new area. i was required to work in a team of 4 and to use rhino and grasshopper to produce final design. After the site analysis we decided to use the existing salt marsh with digital tools to design a different way. It does not only harmonised with the surrounding context but also provide an overwhelming feeling to people that drives through. Also, the design itself will be different in relation to time of the day and weather of the year. Different levels of design exposure will be reveal creating different effects (depending on low

or high tide)

1. Freeform line mimics the graphical representation of the daily tide levels in a typical salt marsh.control points of line extracted via grasshopper. points become base for voronoi.2. Control points of voronoi extracted and reinterpreted as new curves via grasshop-per to give an organic cell like structure. new curves used to create offsets which become the contour levels of each mound.3. Original curves removed to leave gaps at zero level between voronoi mounds. 4. Pattern trimmed at edges of surface boundary. pattern mirrored to create second half of the gateway.

Barlow Motor// Design Studio Fire //

for the last studio of my bachelor, i was asked to design a car showroom, a carpark, a miniature golf course and a bachelor apartment. the challenge of this project was how to combine all the requirements. I decided to cover the whole site area with the circular ramps as the highlight of my design. my design was inspired by the elevation of ford 1927 model t - one of the most iconic vintage car of all times. also the bachelor pad placed on top of the building, towards Mckenzie street maintains the maximum privacy as well as appropriate level of exposure. the showroom facing Latrobe street acts like a vintage car exhibition rather than a showroom and service car area underground can be seen from the showroom because maintaining and fixing vintage automobile is just like polishing a piece of artwork.

// Design: Following the success of “Stacking green” (ArchDaily-building of the year 2012), the concept of having green facade and using natural ventilation and lighting for the whole house. This is a typical tube house - due to the dense population of Saigon- but with a twist of increasingly amount of greenery as well as creative placement of plants on building facade.

French School// Competition in Hanoi 7 // design, model making //

Design proposal for a French school competition consists of a kindergarten, a primary and a secondary school. In a team of 4, our approach to this brief is to create a building complex that forms by stacking blocks which offers interlocking functional areas and green spaces. Due to the limit area of the site given, we want to maximise greenery of the building by having green roofs and green playgrounds. The main challenge was to create enough space to allow natural ventilation and sun light in the complex.

Diamond Island// Urban sub-dividing // Chosen proposal //

// Vo Trong Nghia Architects co. //

Diamond island is a new development situated in one of the most attractive

real estate location in Hochiminh city. The development offers close

proximity to the central business district, luxury living but yet

surrounded by nature and Saigon river separate the area with the old

Hochiminh city. I was assigned to create urban sub-dividing proposals

for one part of the island. My approach is to combine traditional

Vietnamese urban planning with Australian planning to create a modern

but yet familiar to all Vietnamese. A man made lake in the middle of

this property offers exclusive natural environment within the community.

On one side is proposed schools, hotel and apartments, on the other is

luxury villas. I decided to create a community park along the river

for all villa’s beneficial. Among the villas, a simple straight-forward

planning is applied . My proposal was chosen among 5 others and will be

further develop in the future.
