Car Showroom




As the tittle suggest, this project is about designing a showroom for cars. The brand or client that I've choosen for this project is Bugatti. The site for this project will be in Bangsar, along Jalan Maarof. As we all know, Bangsar is a high-end area, thus the reason for choosing such exquisite brand.

The concept i've choosen is Svelte, which basically means a slim figure or a bending movement.

Compact Living



Compact living is a project whereby to design a functional and livable space within a limited area. Essential functions such as eating, sleeping and dining must be present within the space, alongside other miscellaneous functions such as a reading area or an exercise area, designed according to the users preference and needs. With space being the limiting factor, organization is important as well as the user's ergonomics. In order to utilize the space to its fullest, the user's ergonomics will be taken into account when designing the interior spaces and furniture, thus creating a home unique to the user itself. In this case the user is myself, and this 'compact home' is designed according to my own preference and ergonomics.

The expressive element for this project is a Lamborghini Gallardo, from it I extracted a few key points which lead to the conception of the concept 'Aerodynamic'.
I love this car~

Above are sketch models, the initial steps in maturing my design. Moving on are development models which i  have further developed from the sketch models.

As you can see, this is my finalized design. The in-built furniture and cabinets are shaped according to the outline of the wall. The east and west windows are adjusted accordingly to allow sufficient sunlight into the space. The opening on the top allows the sky to be visible during the night (as i like to stargaze), and during the day it acts as a mini solarium which naturally lits up the interior. The space is complete with a bed, wardrobe, storage, working area, dining, and lastly a reading area.

Visual Journal

This project is about creating a journal, not through words or letters but through sketches and drawn images. The title and content is up to me to decide, so since my strong point is people, i decided to go with the title "Postures". The faces and facial expressions are left out because the main point that i wanted to highlight here are the postures. The requirement is to be drawn on a A5 sized paper with a total of 40 pages.
Enjoy~
