My main concept was to offer an open living space where residents get to socialise while also having the balance of private areas. Other than that, It was crucial for me to bring in nature and greenery into the home, where there is a smooth transition between outdoor and indoor living. Lastly, the usage of affordable materials are important and it can be seen in the usage of raw concrete, stone and wood finishes.

SOJOBO – a self defense training club and bar mainly for female adults. It has always been a controversial ideas where females that learn sports are appeared as masculine which is the oppostite of how females should be defined. But we had been seeing a lot of cases where the female victims are too weak in physical states that got them into trouble or worse life-death situation. In this case, I came up with the idea of having a female only self defense sports club where females can learn how to self defense without feeling insecure or getting judged. We have only seen female only gym, yoga, pilates, or libraries in the market but never seen a bar or selfdefense sports club before which trigger me more to develop this idea into a real thing becaue in my opinion, this should be normalized.

HAWKERS (sustainable F&B Design by eggshell waste) – The concept of sustainability always gives a complicated impression to people, people often find it daunting, even associating it with expense and inaccessibility. From the perspective of sustainable materials, the main sustainable material is eggshell waste. Eggs can be an indispensable daily ingredient for Malaysians, playing a crucial role in traditional dishes and featuring prominently in Chinese, Indian, and other cultural cuisines. Despite their significant role, eggs often go unnoticed. Hence, in my interior design, a substantial amount of materials made from eggshells has been utilized as the primary sustainable element, inspired by the heaps of eggshells generated daily in these hawker centers. In the selection of materials and colors, abundant hues reminiscent of eggshells have been selected, and are complemented by an abundance of plants. This choice symbolizes the fusion of the environment with the architecture, creating an atmosphere that exudes warmth and a sense of reconnecting with nature.

Emergence suggests that the interconnectedness between humanity and the natural world gives rise to a deeper understanding and appreciation of our relationship with nature. The building’s architectural design serves not only as a functional space but also as a poignant narrative, echoing the silent plea of the forest for assistance, obscured by our collective indifference. As one steps inside, enveloped by the structure’s embrace, a palpable sense of the forest’s isolation washes over them, intertwined with the undeniable weight of our culpability in its plight.

Pianonusic aims to address college student depression, which has surged during the pandemic. This project offers a design solution using music tailored to depressed listeners, color to express emotions, and performance stages to support creativity. Music combines vocal or instrumental sounds to convey beauty or emotion. The concept is based on piano notes and music sheets. Piano notes relate to specific keys, inspiring design elements like repetition, rhythm, and unity, using color palettes and materials. Notes on the music sheet symbolize pitches, rhythm, and chords, reflecting the rhythm and dynamics of design elements to express feelings. The interior merges modern and classic styles with a cozy, pleasant atmosphere, using gradient acrylic for reception and doors to symbolize adding color to lives. The space is mainly white, symbolizing warmth, calm, and safety. Notable features include flexible, modular LED strip lighting to show space flow and carpet tiles to reduce noise and enhance music absorption.
