Play in Between:

A vertical landscape for social connection through play

MADA NOW 2025 Award Winner

the Best in Studio: The Future of Play

Play in Between reclaims the overlooked voids within Melbourne’s vertical fabric, transforming the space between two mixed-use buildings into a vibrant playscape. Responding to population growth and urban density, the project explores how compact urbanism can support social and environmental wellbeing. Encouraging controlled risk for children and connection for adults, it gives new life to forgotten gaps, turning voids into shared, breathable spaces that foster interaction, balance, and belonging. Curved floor extensions, greenery, sunlight, and fresh air create a layered, breathable environment that reconnects the existing buildings while maximizing spatial, social, and ecological potential.

StandingRoom Cafe:

A communal social hub activating student life within an academic setting

The StandingRoom is a café design project for Monash University’s Building B, Level 2. The proposal includes a return brief, documentation package, and presentation package for a new social and relaxation hub at Caulfield campus.

The Veil Pavilion:

Passive cooling through water and microclimate design in an arid context

Bringing The Melbourne Arts’s Centre’s extensive performance repertoire into an open- air setting, Veil provides a reimagined experience for spectator and performer. Contrasting its surroundings by providing an oasis of activity and climate, the pavilion invites in a new demographic of patrons to traditional theatre-based performances. It’s standout element, an adaptable rainfall curtain, creates fresh opportunities for audience interaction whilst inspiring performers to rethink conventional boundaries.

The River Project

The River Project is a complex villa designed to accommodate three distinct user groups: a single individual, a couple with a child who has a disability, and a traditional family with three children. Located in a mountainous region with a river flowing through the site, the design draws inspiration from the movement of the river, integrating its dynamic nature into the architecture. Despite the diversity of the users, the project aims to foster connection by creating shared social spaces while ensuring privacy for each group.

The Ribbon Project

Designed a unique living space for an architecture student, featuring a continuous interior layout inspired by the form of a ribbon. The design integrates essential elements such as a dedicated study area and personal gym, prioritizing both functionality and aesthetics to support the dynamic lifestyle of a design student.

Portable Site Office:

An adaptable site office for evolving construction environments

As part of my collaboration with Monash Sustainable Buildings (MSB), I designed a portable site office focused on modularity, ease of on-site assembly, and the use of recycled and sustainable materials. The project responds to the need for flexible infrastructure on construction sites, offering a compact, adaptable design that reduces environmental impact while maintaining comfort and functionality. The design prioritises low-waste construction, efficient transport, and a system that can be reconfigured or expanded based on site-specific needs.

The Tiny House Project

This project emphasizes advanced 3D modeling, rendering, and visual storytelling. All architectural elements, including door and window frames, were meticulously modeled using Revit, ensuring accuracy and attention to detail.Lumion was utilized to produce high-quality rendered images and animated videos, focusing on realistic lighting, textures, and spatial composition. Custom textures and materials were also created to enhance the visual authenticity of the scenes.

Ecosystem in Motion:

A Transformative Fashion Studio

This project transforms an iconic Brighton Beach bathing box into a dynamic fashion studio for Iris van Herpen. Inspired by her focus on fluid movement and transformation, the design integrates an ecological element—the coral mushroom—symbolizing harmony between nature and design. The studio serves as a functional and ecological space, balancing creativity with environmental preservation.
