In Singapore, working adults experience the highest levels of stress and the least active lifestyles. Long working hours and limited social interaction contribute to declining mental health and a lack of emotional balance, pushing the need for physical activity and relaxation.

Located near Seletar airport, The Layover is a boutique hotel designed for travellers to escape the daily demands; its layout mirrors a journey from check-in to take-off. Through intuitive wayfinding bridges, the design seamlessly connects winding down and uplifting activities. Honouring natural heritage with passive cooling, the triple-height atrium serves as the visual heart and connection, allowing guests to reconnect and refresh with their journey at 450 Piccadilly.

I’m a two-time Director's List recipient who is passionate about FF&E and hospitality projects.

Driven by creating thoughtful, human-centric spaces that enhance wellness and experiences, and with experience in concept development, space planning, digital modelling, and form & space exploration, I enjoy exploring the intersection of innovation, design, sustainability, and functionality.

I thrive in collaborative environments, eager to learn from others and to be an active contributor. Adaptable, determined, and detail-oriented, I approach each project with curiosity and care, aiming to craft spaces that are not only aesthetically engaging but also impactful for the people who inhabit them.
