Boutique Hotel | Commercial
The Surry Hills Boutique Hotel, named Unforgotten, offers a unique and creative experience designed to attract artists. The hotel features a dynamic public space with a bar, karaoke area, makeup rooms, and nostalgic-era clothing for guests to dress up, sing, and express themselves. The design incorporates triangular shapes and bold red tones to evoke energy.
The retail area includes clothing and a jewelry shop centered around a striking diamond sculpture as a focal point. Accommodation on levels 5 and 6 includes various room types with amenities such as an art room for painting and hand-casting activities, creating memorable experiences. The design focuses on light and shadow, with balconies enhancing openness, relaxation, and privacy. The hotel combines creativity, fun, and unforgettable moments.
MCM HOUSE | Residential
The client is a photographer specializing in pregnant women and infants. She is downsizing to a mid-century modern house with a secluded bushland setting and a private battle-axe block entrance. She plans to redesign the home for aging in place, including a complete internal rebuild to make it suitable for 21st-century living. In phase two, she aims to create a self-contained unit on the lower level, integrated with the overall house design.
My concept is based on fluidity, inspired by the forms of pregnant women and infants. Their rounded shapes evoke a sense of fluidity, which influenced my design. I developed the circulation path to reflect openness and fluidity between spaces.
Marrickville| Residential
The clients are a couple with a child. The family values sustainability and incorporates environmentally friendly practices at home. The clients want to renovate their staircase, kitchen, and bathroom. They have requested an open-tread staircase to keep the space feeling lighter. Their preference is for sustainable timber treads and possibly glass balustrading. For the bathroom, they are inspired by Moroccan culture and are interested in using plaster (tadelakt), limewash or microcement.
My concept is based on the interplay of light and shadow. I used stained glass to create patterns on the wall and incorporated green, organic, and natural materials. The color green conveys a sense of healthiness, relaxation, and is often associated with nature and the natural environment.
Woolloomooloo Warehouse | Residential
The client is a globally renowned fashion agent who promotes Australian designers and has a demanding travel schedule. While in Sydney, they prioritize relaxation, self-care, and home as a sanctuary. They would like to carry out private showings for potential clients to display new collections and samples, with attention to accurate color rendering in lighting. A meditation space with candlelight-like ambiance and integrated artwork throughout the home is essential for their lifestyle.
My concept is based on curved lines, inspired by the forms of fashion garments, which I incorporated into the interior design of this house.
