ABOUT ME 

ABOUT ME 

Architecture has always been an interest to me since Year 11, that’s when I decided to pursue it, previously graduated 

in the Diploma of Building design at Tafe in 2013 where my drafting skills had been developed through the 2 years 

course of using Archicad, this was my way to get into the University of Sydney where I wanted to continue my 

journey in the Bachelor of Design in Architecture in becoming an architect once I’ve finished my Masters Degree. 

I’m interest to see what innovation holds for architecture in the future and the developing technology in software 

and fabrication methods. The biggest ability I have is computer rendering and an eye for graphics, visualising a 

design is a step closer to reality.

10 PHYSICAL MODEL OF FISHING SHACK

TAFE WORK OF 2012 

FISHING SHACK 

This was an early exercise done in the first semester of the Building Design course at Tafe. The exercise was a way 

to teach us how to do hand drawings using the drawing board, set square, t square and different types of felt tip 

pens and rendering techniques. Later on a physical modeling of the fishing shack project was expected with the 

help of using Balsa wood, foam core, glue, model grass and material textures.

14 VISUALISATION OF TOWNHOUSE FACADE


TOWNHOUSE 

During the second semester of Year 1 at Tafe, we moved on from residential to medium density. The 

Townhouse project was given as an example of a clients brief to follow what needed to be included. During 

the exercise, some things were based on our own judgment for material finishes, windows, balcony and 

positioning of the townhouses on site. This project was both challenging and time based throughout the 

semester 2 of the first year at Tafe providing DA and CC set drawings.

SHELTER AT 

ELKINGTON PARK 

Architectural Technologies 1 provides the exploration of design along with 

technical drawings and physical modeling. The project of the shelter began 

with a site of our choice and the interaction for the public use. The Shelter 

acts as a shade for the public, an entertainment venue for performers and a 

seating area for viewing the landscape, eating or socialising.

MOVEMENT TO FORM 

The first studio combined course with Art workshop was more conceptual on 

how movement can be translated back into objects or architecture. During 

the project, multiple clips of the bike rider were used to study the movement 

what we call as ‘mappings’. These mappings are then used to generate 

shapes, forms and iterations.

PLASTER FORM 

The idea of a twisted form first came to mind for the 

plaster form entirely based through an interesting part 

sequence of the biker’s movement. This allowed further 

research on an ideal solid shape that could provide a 

twist, searching with different options the pentagon shape 

seemed to fit well.

SOUND ASSISTING INSTRUMENT 

The aim of this instrument is to help the user measure and listen to the environment 

on the site. The instrument is designed to intensify sounds directly 

into the wearer’s ear; the user will use this as a tool to map out sounds as they 

explore the area. A rich variety of sounds can be heard from all directions 

within the chosen site. The instrument is designed to enhance these sounds, 

be they artificial, natural, or social; and helps the user focus on the source 

and direction of the sound. The instrument is worn on the head with conical 

structures placed next to either ear. The cone is a crucial part of this instrument 

as its shape is what amplifies the noise. Cardboard reduces the weight 

of the instrument whilst simultaneously amplifying the sound. The Bamboo is 

the main structural element for the instrument. It is designed to be functional 

whilst being aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

TABLE FOR 

FAST FOOD 

The group theme of the four tables are based on cuisines/ chefs from 

different countries of the continents of North (French), East (Japanese), South 

(Australian) and West (American) where each of the tables are positioned to 

Figuratively represent a compass. The fast food table represents the theme 

of American cuisine of the western foods, the table is to conceptualise the 

way of flow and movement through the curvilinear surfaces, the repetition of 

curves symbolically signify the same repeating process of foods produced 

every time.

The theme of the kitchen is based on fast food, which was obtained 

from assessment one. The main focus is to establish on flow and 

movement where the layout of the kitchen is connected to enhance the 

workspace to work quicker and smoothly. Conceptually the form of the 

kitchen represents the speed in curvilinear shapes and the direction of 

movement and process from low to high (Start to finish).

The theme of fast food has sustained into the final restaurant design with 

the intention of working around traffic on site to provide a quick service. The 

continuation of the kitchen process has been refined to fit within the existing 

context to work with customers, the chefs and the people of St. John’s 

Church. The urban farm is a new addition towards the process of fast food 

where the restaurant will grow its own vegetables with great control all year 

around. The form of the building is evolved through the functionality of the 

space with each of the process from the kitchen to serving, each architectural 

elements indicates a sense of direction and movement from the curvature

CASA KALMANN 

PRECEDENT STUDY 

LUIGI SNOZZI 

Belonged to the so-called “Tendenza,” a group of like-minded architects practicing 

in the Italian-speaking Swiss canton of Ticino. (Other members included 

Mario Campi, Aurelo Galfetti and Mario Botta. 

Tendenza architects were basically Modernists, though their Modernism was 

tempered by the ideas of certain Italian theorists – such as Also Rossi and Giorgio 

Grassi. They had begun to question certain aspects of Modernism, such as 

the idea that function should be the prime generator of form, stressing instead 

the continuity of traditional building types. Since traditional type buildings are 

culturally specific, this also implied a new respect for the character of particular 

places. The idea that Modernism could be an “international style” no longer 

KALMANN HOUSE 

Is a good example of this new tempered Modernism. Although at first sight the 

house is perfectly abstract and standing proudly in contrast to the steeply sloping 

Alpine landscape, on closer inspection it turns out to be intimately related 

to its site. It is a subtle response to the slope in respect of its size, its gradient, 

its orientation, its views, the character of the little stream that runs by it, and the 

structure necessary to stabilize it. 

The slope faces east, but the best views over the lake are to the south and 

south-west. To do justice to the view, the house would ideally spread itself east 

to west, but the slope is too narrow and steep to allow this. The house has to 

therefore be end-on to the view. This inevitable eventuality is clearly reflected 

in Snozzi’s treatment of the house – the south end of which is almost completely 

open, with the glass wall set back to create a terrace and a balcony. 

-This terrace is an important element of the house. The living room opens into 

a long narrow terrace that curves along the contour of the slope, terminating in 

a pergola from which the best views of the lake can be had. 

-The formal subtleties of this raw concrete box are now apparent; the way the 

wall facing the slope curves in anticipation of the curve of the inner wall of the 

terrace; the way the internal bedroom balcony passes through the glass wall 

to become the external viewing balcony; the way the straight outer wall of the 

terrace enters the open end of the box and turns into its eats-facing wall. It is 

still a box, but a box designed for this specific site.

ILLUSIONIST HOUSE VISUALISATION


ILLUSIONIST 

DESIGN INTENT STATEMENT 

Magic or ‘conjuring’ is one of the oldest forms of entertainment - first mentioned 

in writing in the Westcar Papyrus nearly 4,000 years ago. The art of magic is 

very diverse: conjuring can range from small tricks at markets and festivals to 

large performances in theatres, to television shows or even movies. Within the 

art itself there are magicians who practice or specialise in particular branches of 

magic. These include cardigans (who use mainly card tricks); escape artists (who 

specialise in the art of escaping from a myriad of physical restraints); mentalists 

(those who perform magic which encompasses extraordinary feats of the mind), 

and mega illusionists (magicians who specialise in taking grand scale illusions 

and super sizing them). However complicated the specifics types or branches 

of magic are, everything in the art is focused on illusion and deception - fooling 

the audience with clever tricks or sleight of hand. Magic is also predominantly a 

visual art - it focuses on deceiving the eye of the beholder. It is this fundamental 

notion of magic - the performance of illusion - that gives us the design concept 

for our house. Huge mirrored spheres ‘hover’ in the narrow space, an intriguing 

spectacle that stands out on a street of traditional terrace houses and rectangular 

forms. These spheres are an attraction that draws the passerby in for a closer 

look, while their sculptural (rather than residential) feel communicates that the 

space is for public use. The floating spheres are a performance in themselves, 

but also create a space underneath that is - for lack of a better word - magical. 

The reflective globes hover overhead, forming an undulating, interactive ceiling 

that - because of the mirrored enclosing walls - appears to go on forever. While 

the primary objective of the spheres is that of performance, they also function 

as residential due to the magician who lives inside of them; the linked levels 

of mirrored spheres form a network of rooms for the magician’s day-to-day 

living. These rooms still connect to the public space underneath due to their 

‘weightlessness’ and sculptural shape, and display the underlying concepts of 

that space - performance and illusion.

DEMENTIA WARD 

CLINICAL SIMULATION LAB 

Located on the 5th Floor the dementia ward / nursing school is designed to treat 

dementia affected patients as well as a school for learning/teaching students and 

staff at the University of Sydney. The space of the ward and school is designed 

to link between them for convenience while also considering safety and security 

for the patients. The dementia ward accommodates for 10 patients including

148 MACLEAY FACADE VISUALISATION



NATURE AND SYMMETRY 

The architectural approach for the existing Macleay Museum was to maintain it’s 

historic heritage with a design that wasn’t too concealing. The use of symmetry 

and transparent materials create a blend between the old and new facade. 

The main collection focus for the permanent exhibition space is natural history, 

with many valuable items collected from the passed Macleay family. The new 

extension was intended to create a meaning and theme with the facade being 

inspired from the texture of the dragonfly wing. The interest of looking at nature 

and implementing back to what can be used within the structure.

160 FIRST ITERATION FOR HABITABLE BRIDGE


STUDIO 5 INTRODUCTION 

Throughout this studio project I had taken conceptual approaches from material 

models into structural Habitable bridges. The lectures and feedback from tutorial 

has provided help along the way to develop each week into forms, the spaces and 

the functions of my two programs of Lawn bowls club and Liquor store. The 

Surroundings of the given site envelop can be re-imagined to suit the programs. 

The challenge was to allow the bridge to span across and also built a consistent 

aesthetic that reads as a whole. The structural lectures by ARUP have developed 

the project into something that would work to resist in bending when spanning, 

how to resist lateral loading from winds, forces, and moments through structural 

components. By making physical models we were able to explore these structurally 

and how to fix them in our developing project. During the semester I had explored 

a total of 7 design iterations that shares a similar idea of flat typology of lawn bowl 

greens on top and a volume that contains the liquor store. In these 7 designs the 

development from form has considerably become refined as each week goes by 

from reducing the spaces to the point where it is necessary rather an excess to fill up 

the bridge. The final Habitable bridge is the outcome from feedbacks received from 

tutorials and presentations. In this portfolio I had collated the process in a orderly 

fashion from the first model to iteration designs and to final, the last part of the book 

is based on structures.

This preferred model was made to express the balance and flatness 

of lawn bowl greens, when rolling the wine glass the weight of the 

plaster would sustain and level again according to the flat surface. 

This model metaphorically represents the off balance of the bowls 

used to play where it would curve in.

The two programs of Lawn Bowls club and Liquor store are combined together 

on this Habitable Bridge where the community can use this as a gathering for 

leisure and social interaction. The typology of the lawn bowl greens are typically

accordingly to either ends of the existing river banks creating a space between 

for the liquor store and indoor seating area that outlooks onto the lawn. The store 

itself provides many types of beverages that are accessible on the shelves or cool 

room where customers can flexibly take, pay and drink.

DESIGN ITERATIONS 

Throughout the designing process, I have came 

across multiple iterations to improve upon what is 

necessary for the two programs of Lawn bowling 

and Liquor store on the Habitable Bridge. From 

refining spaces to structures and form. 

Design 01 

From the tutors feedback the structure was too 

dominant to relate to the simplicity of the lawn 

bowling flatness shown upon the think model in 

week 2. 

Design 02 

Taking feedback for a minimal approach created 

conflict for the structure to be stable, which had 

to be revised in a way that it both works together. 

Design 03 

Combining Design 2 with a bit more structure created 

stability for the whole of the bridge but was 

suggested that it could be simplified a lot more. 

Design 04 

Design style didn’t match the language of everything 

with odd solids and unnecessary structures. 

Design 05 

Improved language but could still be more simplified 

and dynamic in the way function is shown in 

form. 

Design 06 

Public promenade was seen too big and should be 

minimalist to be just right, shelters to be coherent 

with the design language with a more better connection 

of the liquor store and lawn bowling.

168 FINAL PRESENTATION EXTERIOR VISUALISATION


HABITABLE BRIDGE 07 

The final iterations are based from the feedback of the presentation from 

minimizing the public promenade and adding a canopy that connects the two 

functions together. The distance from the lawn bowl has been shifted forward 

creating a cantilever like structure acting as a shade for the front entrance of the 

liquor store. In the final presentation the comments made for the canopy has 

been re-corrected to match the whole bridge in one single uniform geometry 

rather than having 4. The rework is also shown in the model where the black is 

added in to represent anything that is grass or part of the landscape.

STUDIO 6 INTRODUCTION 

Studio 6 contains the early studies of Jørn Utzon’s Sydney Opera House and the progression 

of the performance space project. The exploration of the concourse beams and the original 

acoustic ceiling conveyed new interpretations and design thinking within the architecture. 

Like Utzon’s schema’s, they were used to provoke the strategy for the Opera House using 

a set of rules he created. My schema was developed consisting of points, lines and circles 

that would open up ideas to be explored further, applying these abstract means on to site 

and the development of the design. Each week was a progression of ideas that related back 

to the schema, with the help of architectural precedents and natural inspirations to help 

analyse it further. The prominent canopy that was seen in the early stages had been deeply 

followed in later discoveries. The imitation of the light canopy structure was investigated 

through material models like balloons, Styrofoam balls and the study of bubbles, these 

all help regulate the form and structure. The formative presentation in Week 9 had been 

intensely based on bubbles in the way of literal formations to discover new spatial qualities 

of intersecting spheres. The progression of this had to be refined, embedding into the 

design was columns and how these merge between the ground and ceiling. The two main 

elements of columns and canopy was to connect and read together as one, creating ways 

of bringing light within the space and organisation for the lower ground floor. The canopy 

that dictates the undulating surfaces would reflect towards the rest of the floor, ceiling and 

walls of the architectural space. The intention of the design in context is a blend between 

the urban orthogonal site, the landscape of the Domain, and a sculpture for the City that 

goes well between the Art gallery and the Sydney Opera House.’ idea of flat typology of 

lawn bowl greens on top and a volume that contains the liquor store. In these 7 designs 

the development from form has considerably become refined as each week goes by from 

reducing the spaces to the point where it is necessary rather an excess to fill up the bridge. 

The final Habitable bridge is the outcome from feedbacks received from tutorials and 

presentations. In this portfolio I had collated the process in a orderly fashion from the first 

model to iteration designs and to final, the last part of the book is based on structures.

SCHEMAS 

The schema was developed when looking at Utzon’s studies for the Opera House, 

many schemas were used to provide a set of rules to his architectural thinking. These 

were a few of the ones I came up with, experimenting with different shapes but eventually 

settling on the circle schema.

to help plan out the layout with columns around each of the circles to provide separation.

EXPLORATION 

Model translating into Architecture 

From the experimentation model of using Styrofoam balls and elastic fabric to create this 

undulating geometry. With studying the results of the fabric I tried to copy this back into Rhino 

and provided a structural integrity of Hexagons that I’ve learn from bubbles to make this canopy 

work with efficiently.

LIGHT 

The name light represents both the interaction between sunlight and the visual illusion of a light 

canopy structure shaped similarly as a floating cloud. The inspiration of the canopy has been 

developed from studying the formation of a bubble structure and how this can be implemented 

back into architecture. The performance space is an addition to the Domain site and provide extra 

public attractions alongside the existing Mint, The Hyde Park Barracks and the Art Gallery of NSW. 

The design was to invite the public in with a sense of openness between the space and outdoor 

with the use of no or minimal walls for the popular functions. The experience you’ll get between 

levels are unique, as you spiral down into the basement floor the functions below houses the 

office,meeting spaces, exhibition and amenities where the public is less likely to visit. 

On ground floor as you approach up the stairs you will be invited into the external performance 

spaces surrounded by the semi external spaces of the exhibitions, cafe/bar, shop and reception 

area. Above the canopy is a whole new experience to provide more public promenade for seating 

and specially designed exhibitions, the ground and ceiling undulates as you walk around, as the 

ground is clear the thrill is provided as you look down onto the performance space. The canopy 

is held up by these slanting columns that are extrusions of the hexagons shaped from the frame 

to support it.

Feuille translates to ‘leaf’ from the French language giving 

it’s elegance for the name of the light. The nature theme for 

the object was apart of the brief during the objects design 

course. Leaf was chosen for its beautiful curves that can be 

seen replicated in the components of twists when illuminated 

from inside and outside. My idea was to create soft and 

elegant lighting through the drapery effect, diffused from 

the outer translucent polypropylene.
