Podium Envelope - Exploration - Entrance Facade Studies - Retail / Commercial / Residential Mixed-Use / Conceptual Design Work

An entrance is not only an important functional part of architectural design, but also serves as a design element that users experience first as they

enter. With evolving application of various materials for podium design, a series of entrance design studies were conducted to explore design and

materiality. Without categorizing a material into a certain type of architectural style or type, masonry, metal, glass, limestone and terracotta cladding

materials were explored, often in mixture, with consideration of user’s experience and functionality that can be applied to various building typologies.

Retail Display Table - Conceptual Design Work - Retail / Design Development - Confidential

The design concept of the retail display table originates from eternity and timeless inspiration. The feature table is inspired by foam and function

of Bauhaus architecture and the design takes account of marketing, product and store design. The chrome finish of the feature table reflects the

vibrancy of the client’s signature products throughout the store’s interior design. With the monolithic and weighted feel of the display table and its

simple use of the contemporary materials and details, the feature table does not distract the eyes away from the products. It rather lifts and holds

the products as if placed above a monolithic sculpture, magnifying products on display. Development of design and documentation in 2D and 3Ds.

Revision of Residential Interior Layout - High-end Residential - 3,525 SF / 328 SQM Floor Plate (27 to 28th Fl) / Post-Construction - Confidential

Revision of interior floor plan layout for a 5 bedroom residence unit into 2 bedroom & 3 bedroom residence units to accommodate the current

demand on the high-end residential market in New York City. The take on the plan was to maximize the open floor plan concept, which can

accommodate moveable furniture in the living room space for flexibility. In addition, most rooms are seen from the living room as opposed to

the original static layout for visual connection. The approach to layout aims to maximize efficiency and makes residents feel less congested

and more welcoming, which is more appropriate for one of the most demanded demographics, which is an young family client with children.
