P r o f i l e

I never expected to be able to come this far. Currently working as an assistant architect in Johor Bahru, I am still on the journey towards being an architect. I have been through many opportunities and obstacles on this journey that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Looking back, ever since I was a child, I dreamt of being an architect. I was dreaming without having a clue about architecture. Back then, the kid in me thought that being an architect is a glamourous job, a job for people that can draw beautiful drawings of buildings, and they were rich! I was comfortable with using crayon, watercolour and colour pencils and so, I thought I knew what it takes to be architect.

My interest in visual art started early. I love to draw and I was always eager to learn something new. I remembered the first time I picked up watercolouring. Carefully, I tried not to make a mess. I occupied the entire living room with my colours and old newspaper to make sure I would not spill anything onto the floor. I was very absorbed in my painting, that in the end, when all is done and finished the living room would still be a mess!

Besides drawing, I was also drawn to music. As I was growing up while watching someone play the piano on the television, a desire to play a musical instrument ignited within me. When I entered secondary school, I felt thankful that ‘music’ was introduced as a new subject in the school and thus, I took the chance to learn music theory. My ability to play musical instruments by ear is an advantage for fast learning and now I am able to play the piano/keyboard, the accordion, the violin, and a number of malay traditional instruments such as gamelan and caklempong.

After university foundation studies, I finally got the chance to pursue my studies in architecture. I started to understand what architecture was really about. The learning process helped me to integrate and develop my artistic skills into the architectural curriculum. The exposure from architecture school trained me to look into details in everything that appeals to our five senses.

My introspective of architecture, is about relating the arts with the sciences in order to provide adequate space. This is only possible after understanding the social science and sociology behind a project. This also leads to the application of the right anthropology in creating a quality space. It is about being human in order to understand other human beings. The space (that consists of light, sound, odour, view and the feel) required revolves around uniquely customised daily needs; that varies according to individuals, societies, cultures and traditions. The understanding of chronological needs is also very important to ensure the designed architecture meets its future needs. Ideally, this is the real purpose of architecture. Architecture is definitely a lifetime learning process that will never end.

After I realise that being an architect requires a big amount of responsibility, I hope to be able to learn as much as I possibly can and take a chance in studying abroad. As that is another journey that I need to explore in order to fully understand the boundaries of this creative field. I anticipate that this will help me widen my perspective of being human through architecture.

BOUTIQUE RESORT@ Tioman Island, Pahang#1

1 pg 6

Tioman Boutique Resort

Tioman Island is located within the state of Pahang, Malaysia. The island is known as one of the most beautiful island in the country. The client was aiming for an award-winning project and was daring to spend as much money as the consultants required to achieve that particular objective of this project.

In the beginning, the given site location was not facing any visually pleasing view such as the beach. Plus, there were existing abandoned chalet units around the site. Therefore, the solution is to have an inwards view by creating a large natural water feature. To make this possible, the nearest river line has to be tapped for providing the main water source for this water feature.

A New Site

After closing the deal, the client had successfully obtained a new site facing towards the open sea with a magnificent sunset view and thus, another proposal was made.

This site has a number of existing chalet units as well. The approach of the new proposal is to allow every chalet unit to be able to appreciate the beautiful view of the open sea. The hilly and rocky site gave us a great advantage to make this project an interesting one.

LANDSCAPE MASTERPLAN@ Sibu, Sarawak#2

Sibu Town Landscape Masterplan

Sibu is a small city in Sarawak and a new rising township wing is underway. It is located at a confluence of three rivers, namely Batang Igan river, Batang Rajang river, and Batang Lebaan river. The client prefers a more tropical design to ensure the practicality of the park to suite the hot and humid climate.

This site is targeted to be a new business hub in Sibu, simultaneously providing a recreational park that reflects Sibu’s identity and a town that appreciates the promenade. The site is currently occupied by Lau King Hawe Hospital Memorial Museum and a local port authority.

Masterplan

The master plan is divided into a few zones to ensure that every corner of this district is being optimally occupied with activities and green spaces.

The design process started with the node axis configuration, the inceptive point for next design step. Pedestrian networks are carefully studied for the means of a walk-able city, while the back alleys are designed for beautiful greeneries towards creating a safe and sustainable environment.

The park

The park has a number of special features that creates a dynamic tropical park.

The entrance is designed with a grand welcoming statement to visitors. Visitors will enter upon seeing a wing-shaped timber structure, mimicking an icon of Sibu: the swan.

A large number of parking lots is required for the project, as given by the authority. Thus, parking area dominates the major space in between the commercial blocks. The public parking area is large enough to have its own concept: a modern forest. The usage of tall mature tropical trees provide sufficient shade and can transform the parking space into a more interesting space. The triangular pattern of grass and concrete paving on the ground creates a new sensation at this area compared to monotonous straight lines.

Pedestrian Network

The pedestrian network is designed with a lush of greeneries and tall shady trees to reflect the tropical essence of the park. The wide walkways provide a comfortable path for pedestrian and cyclists.

Among the elements that are carefully designed in this park scheme are such as the natural water features, seating, lighting fixtures, elevated parks, and the softscape. This is to ensure the park provides an aesthetic as well as a functional space for the locals and visitors.
