“Lo-Hi Tech: The New Primitive Hut” redefines spatial architecture through lightweight modular plant biocomposite structures. This project extends our exploration of “Natural Climate Tech” by integrating terracotta and plant fibres to foster sustainable materials, integrated building systems, renewable energy solutions, and biodiversity.

A series of strategic voids punctuate a rectangular building mass and carve out pockets to emit natural daylight into the learning commons of an urban school.

Lo-Hi Tech is a layering of trajectories, exploring how primitive materials can be future-proofed with technology and igniting material system cross-overs between shelter and vehicular infrastructure.

The Swiss cross inspires the structural concept of a glue-laminated timber pavilion showcasing a vignette of a sustainable built environment.

A narrow café is diagonally divided into tapered volumes for enhanced customer and efficient coffee preparation zones.

9 agile work zones wrapped by plywood shells for a compact office.

The periphery edges are rounded to reflect the undulating plan.

Voids are treated as form in this micro cafe.

A verdant spine anchors the spatial organisation of an office inspired by both natural landforms and vernacular forms/materials.

Ombré timber tones are patch worked onto timber panels that gradually transition the space towards increasing privacy and warmth.

Staggered shelving for both adults and children form the blocks for a chocolate retail while an overhanging shelf extends for the school.

Rattan Clouds is a collection of modular rattan capsules configured for seating, storage, display and lighting.

A long bar facilitates and anchors the support system for an office.

Brick is pushed to its boundaries as a building block and brand identity for an artisanal bakery.

Sloping terrain inspires an ecological entrance building to be nestled in its topography.

The art frame is given a new twist and perspective by extruding it into a box, creating a pixelated wall, inspired by coffee bean hues.

Shrinking footprint creates a nostalgic brick wall that snakes around an existing open courtyard.

Co-working office draws inspiration from the neighbourhood, cumulating in a hodgepodge of forms on a colourful strip.

Ample pathways formed by different user-patterns shape 3 unique office volumes, creating a miniaturized city block experience.

Hansha Reflection House is a specific residence set to address the ephemeral moments of the surroundings with structural ingenuity and material sublimity.

A U-shaped band of black volumes reminiscent of wine bottles, encapsulate singular hues while being sandwiched between industrial aesthetics.

Thin office provides a blank canvas for two offices to operate amidst flexible working facilities and casual niches.

Double loop organisation anchors new Nokia Experience Centre, creating an interlocking jigsaw of programs and curvaceous forms.

Cultural habits, climatic conditions and a call for pragmatics come together in a wood-infused apartment.

Flexible partitions form part of a material wrap to transform privacy/public thresholds.
