Design Philosophy:

My design philosophy highlights the increasing value of nature within the context of urban expansion. As cities grow, the importance of preserving and appreciating the natural world becomes even more profound. Taking architecture as the medium, I advocate for the reshaping of an urban community environment and works at a diverse range to create a positive impact. Through my work, I foster lasting connections between individuals and the city, between individuals and nature, and even among individuals themselves. Through meticulous research on the site, surroundings, and user groups, I and my design team adapt and incorporate the natural surroundings to design invigorating, interactive, and sustainable breathing spaces tailored to each location and building. These spaces provide the city and its users with unique, vibrant, and pleasant environments.
