The Horizon House transforms Block 450 in Seletar into a restorative sanctuary for cancer survivors, supporting healing through creativity, community, and nature. Warm, non-clinical spaces accommodate therapy, education, storytelling, and reflection, fostering dignity and emotional ease. Guided by a No Wrong Door Strategy, the design seamlessly connects indoor and outdoor volumes—verandahs, gardens, and planterior spaces—to promote intuitive movement and mindfulness. Heritage features are respectfully retained with light contemporary interventions. Shared areas for art, cooking, and dialogue encourage meaningful interaction, strengthening bonds among survivors while connecting the centre to the surrounding neighbourhood.

Inspired by Singapore’s iconic skyline, I design with one goal in mind: to create spaces that move people. As a Diploma in Interior Architecture and Design student at Temasek Polytechnic, I explore how thoughtful design can bring people, heritage, and nature into meaningful dialogue.

I thrive on challenges and see constraints as opportunities to innovate. Whether improvising creative solutions on the fly or developing refined spatial concepts in the studio, I bring energy, curiosity, and intent to every project. Proficient in AutoCAD, 3D Max, SketchUp, and Twinmotion, I combine strong technical skills with sharp attention to detail. My internship experience managing fast-paced operations strengthened my leadership, adaptability, and ability to deliver under pressure.
