The Project reimagines the abandoned Newtown Tram Depot in Sydney as a contemporary public bathhouse that transforms a former industrial structure into a civic space of rest, ritual, and wellbeing. The project explores adaptive reuse through a phenomenological design approach, using water, steam, light, sound, and tactility to humanise the monumental scale of the existing depot while preserving its heritage character and structural memory.
Ruins decay.
Ruins crumble.
Ruins we love, because we pity.
But this-
This is endurance.
This is waiting.
This is strength paused.
Rather than erasing the site’s industrial identity, the intervention carefully inserts intimate bathing spaces, thermal pools, thresholds, and circulation folds within the original steel-and-brick shell. Inspired by Sydney’s coastal pool culture, Roman thermae, and theories of atmosphere and embodiment, the design positions bathing as a collective ritual of pause, reflection, and sensory awareness.

“Small Talks” is a student housing initiative developed as part of A Huge House III, a University of Sydney design studio that reimagines the domestic potential of large scale shared living. Set within the historic site of the former International House, the project explores how architecture can foster intercultural connection, care for Country, and contemporary community life in a student context.
Existing heritage elements, including the tower and rotunda, are reimagined as public and communal spaces. The rotunda becomes a civic gathering place, while the tower structure is opened to landscape and native planting. A nursery and café strengthen engagement between students and the wider community.
Through adaptive reuse, passive design, natural ventilation, and culturally responsive planning, the project creates a sustainable living environment that celebrates Indigenous identity, promotes wellbeing, and builds meaningful social connections on campus.

This project redefines the conventional commercial building by transforming structure into expression. Located within a dense retail fabric known for furniture showrooms, the design draws direct inspiration from the logic of furniture joinery, translating it into an architectural system. Precision-engineered metal frames act as both structural support and visual language, elevating the upper mass to create a striking “floating” effect along the street edge.
The building is organised across four levels, with a basement for services and parking, and flexible showroom and commercial spaces above. A double-height glazed frontage enhances visibility and blurs the boundary between interior and street, allowing the building to function as a display object within the urban context.
Materially, the project combines brick, steel, and glass to balance weight and lightness. Brick cladding grounds the building within Bengaluru’s architectural lineage, while exposed metal joinery articulates structure as design. The result is a crafted, expressive commercial space where construction, material, and form are inseparable.

Students worked in teams to interpret drawings by international architects and translate them into locally built installations using available materials, tools, and site constraints. Alongside fabrication, students were required to produce architectural drawings documenting plans, sections, details, and the construction process. The workshop emphasised learning through making, where assembly, detailing, and problem-solving became key design methods.
As a final outcome, each student developed one good idea of their own—a simple yet buildable concept communicated through a precise drawing open to interpretation.
My contribution involved collaborative prototyping, fabrication, drawing production, and exhibition assembly. The project strengthened my ability to resolve ideas quickly, work in teams, and communicate design intent through both physical construction and clear visual representation.
This multi-purpose furniture piece is crafted entirely from discarded magazines, transforming waste into a functional and artistic solution. Designed as a stool, side table, or an ottoman, it showcases the strength and versatility of rolled and compressed paper. In Australia, millions of magazines are discarded annually, contributing to over 75 million tonnes of waste. Despite being recyclable, many still end up in landfills. This creation raises awareness about sustainable design and the creative reuse of everyday materials. By giving old magazines a second life, the furniture not only reduces waste but also redefines the potential of overlooked resources.
an architectural drawing through history.

Architectural Drawing Through History explores how historical drawing methods shaped the way architecture was imagined and built. Students study architectural drawings from different periods to understand the unique ideas, values, and design approaches of the cultures that created them. These drawings reveal ways of thinking about space, beauty, and construction that often differ from contemporary practice.
‘Prentententoonstelling’ - 1956 Lithograph
12.5 inches x 12.5 inches
In 1956, Dutch artist M.C. Escher created the lithograph Print Gallery, a celebrated work exploring perception, infinity, and architectural space. The image shows a young boy in an art gallery observing a print of a Mediterranean port town. As the viewer follows the scene, the buildings curve inward and gradually return to the gallery itself, creating a continuous loop. Escher transforms conventional perspective into a self-referential spatial system where image, observer, and environment become interconnected. By folding space back onto itself, the artwork challenges ideas of depth, scale, and orientation, revealing how drawing can reshape our understanding of architecture.
Using this research, the students develop a studio project based on a selected historical drawing technique, reinterpreting it through their own design process. The project also extends beyond drawing into making, where students create an experimental physical model in the Material and Casting Lab.
By combining historical analysis with practical experimentation, the subject reactivates forgotten or lesser-known methods of drawing and fabrication. It encourages students to see drawing not only as representation, but as a creative tool that connects imagination, materiality, and construction.

This multi-residential luxury apartment responds directly to an irregular site boundary, using constraint as a driver for spatial and formal exploration. The non-linear plot generates a dynamic footprint, where shifting edges shape the building’s massing and spatial organisation.
Balconies become the primary architectural expression, varying in size and projection in response to the changing geometry. These variations are composed into a rhythmic arrangement across the façade, creating a layered elevation that balances irregularity with order. Upper levels amplify this rhythm through alternating volumes, enhancing light, views, and ventilation.
A key strategy is consolidating all services within a large, sunken core. By separating structure from services, the design allows each apartment to be reconfigured or renovated multiple times without impacting the primary structural system. This introduces long-term flexibility, enabling the building to adapt to changing needs over time.
The project transforms site constraints into a coherent architectural language, balancing adaptability, identity, and spatial richness.
