PAM Kuching Bus Stop Competition 2021
RE : KBS (Kuching Bus Stop), where 'RE' means RE-invent, RE-shape, and RE-imagine the future bus stop. This project discussed how the daily experience of commuters can be enhanced by redesigning the bus stop as a portal with meaningful activities, joy, and daily needs. As the public bus is getting less attractive due to several factors, such as safety, reliability (punctuality), and services, RE-designing a bus stop that helps to improve customer satisfaction and accessible services is crucial to promote public bus as an attractive mode of transport. Thus, the idea of this project is to transform the conventional bus stop into a more welcoming environment providing the public with a well-considerate and more secure design where it encourages them to use public transport more often. To design a bus stop for the local community in Kuching, a city with rich ethnic culture and history, the proposal was designed in a way it resembles the traditional houses from the local villages. To show the local identity of the city, the decorative side panels and elevated stilts were implemented as part of the bus stop design. The entire bus stop was elevated to prevent rainwater and debris accumulate inside the shelter. Furthermore, as the bus stop needs to be future-proof to adapt to the rapid development world, modular systems designs were incorporated to allow the design to be portable. With this system, modular blocks can be easily manufactured, assembled, dismantle and reuse where they could be built in different site conditions and enhance the circular economy in terms of the construction. With all the design strategies, the proposed bus stop design act as the catalyst, enriching the experience in Kuching city to enhance the lifestyle of the commuters meanwhile promote Kuching as a sustainable city.

Private Housing Renovation
The story of Jingga 11 begins with its location, 'Sutera Jingga' where 'Sutera' means silk in English and silk is an epitome of luxury due to its fluidness, soft & elegant appearance. The rich and diverse characteristic looks identical to a tropical environment that consists of a variety of elements. Hence, KLO+ introduces tropical style into the design; tropical style is all about comfort, ease, and utility and is eclectic by definition. The style is characterized by warmth and soothing. And so, the design inspires by the tropical aquatic environment while utilizing the aquatic elements as the design approach, start from the sand, river rock, plants, water, and fishes.
The renovation plan started from the interior, aiming to reorganize the vital functions of daily life within the space. The operation of arches element enables the integration of the whole building and creates interlocking living spaces. The interior design of the house takes its cues from the inspiration, which consists of two elements: the arches and the tropical style mural wall. The material palette of these spaces builds upon the basis of the mosaic tiles, complementing it with wooden cabinetries, neutral fabrics, and leathers, plus accents of bricks. Hints of bright color and shiny surfaces in the furniture pieces bring a touch of lightness to space. Movable furniture and curtains allow the spaces to be reconfigured freely, while the layering of varying textures of whiteness gives space an overall soothing and softness that is meant to enhance the quality and comfort of the rooms. While it also add to the vibrancy and lived-in quality of a true "home". A home should not only accommodate people, but also their love and dreams. Jingga 11 provides a unique feeling of serenity over the hustle busy lifestyle.
