Design projects

Rapid urban development is reshaping daily life, and Landskrona, in the Oresund region, is evolving to strengthen its ties with Sweden and Denmark. While the new train station increased the distance from its major connection point to the city center, it sparked a call for revitalization to improve its connectivity. To foster a vibrant city life, the proposed design concept will inject street-level activities like walking and cycling lanes, parks, and inviting sitting areas. Using way finding strategies to pinpoint key locations, enhancing active mobility and aligning with the site's unique characteristics. This idea will help to create a sustainable and lively city experience in Landskrona.

Discover the vibrant city of Dujiangyan, a touristic city located in Sichuan, China with direct train connection to Chengdu in every hour during weekdays. Known for its spicy cuisine, annual water festival, birthplace of Taoism, and a Panda research center, the city is undergoing a slow recovery from the 2008 earthquake. Dujiangyan boasts a lively food and entertainment culture, with numerous tea houses and mahjong spots. To promote sustainable development within a global and local context, our transformation focuses on community, agriculture, and water. This vision translates into a design strategy that blends functions and building sizes, connects various mobility options, and preserves natural and social spaces, ensuring a dynamic and resilient future for Dujiangyan.

The vision for Barkåkra's development centers on creating a sustainable living space driven by self-sufficiency in energy and food consumption. With proximity to nature, industry, and transportation, the goal is a future community focused on three key concepts: community, connection, and consumption. Community emphasizes a sense of belonging through social clusters, not a rigid urban grid. Connection aims for easy movement with various paths for different modes of transportation. Consumption focuses on on-site self-sufficiency, employing permaculture for biodiversity and local food cultivation. Five housing typologies, each in specialized clusters, are part of this vision, with development unfolding in three phases, starting near the train station and progressing outward.

A residential house project where the essence of family and living together takes center stage. This project redefines the concept of home with a thoughtful emphasis on an open living area, seamlessly merging indoor and outdoor spaces to cultivate a sense of togetherness. Extends beyond aesthetics, incorporating responsive features that adapt to the local climate, ensuring comfort and sustainability. The project also prioritizes cost efficiency without compromising on quality, showcasing a commitment to creating homes that are not only visually appealing but also practical and environmentally conscious.

Located in the area of Situ Cikaret and Situ Bentenan, this urban renewal proposal aimed to stimulate the future development of Bogor Regency to be an education, housing, business, and public space complex. “Situ” is a human-made lake which functioned as a water catchment area and hidden potential for lively activities. The design was an outcome of group collaboration’s effort and I had a role in concept development and space programming. The idea was to centralized the situ: by placing the building facing the waterfront and providing a land-water connection. It will be an integrated development with a green and sustainable approach. Besides the mentioned main facility to be provided, there are also supporting areas in the development, such as rare plants research center, artificial forest, recreation park, and health facilities.

Tackling fatigue as a key factor in road accidents, this project transforms an abandoned space next to Toba Lake into a rejuvenating haven. Designed with well-being in mind, it features four areas for relaxation, refueling, and recreation, all connected by paved pathways to encourage active movement. On the east, a commercial space offers a quick recharge for short-stay visitors, while the west provides a lush camping ground and public park for those seeking a longer stay. In the middle, a refuel and repair station caters specifically to trucks and commodity carriers. Picture a panoramic space where recharging meets nature's embrace – that's the vision behind this transformative project.
