Design Philosophy

For the past few projects , the designs to my projet came from my concepts which is usually based from research of the project site or the clients that i am handling with or potential clients who will use the space.


Taking reference from my concourse project, we are required to redesign a space in SP into a study and entertainment space for students. My group's concept is based on our potential client which are the students. We thought of what the students like and came up with the concept shopping for inspiration. Students enjoy shopping as much as the need to study, therefore we thought of combining shopping together with school work to inspire the students and trigger them with ideas and inspiration for their work . Our space makes use of the 5 senses which makes it interactive.

In the future , there will no longer be wood nor glass. The materials that i have proposed for my barge is mainly stainless steel panels and polycarbonate for my exterior walls.

After deciding on the design concept, i studied the floor plans of hair salons and started to plan my space . The route that people will experience is very sequential , just like how one has to go through a certain sequence for doing various types of hairstyle.

The spaces in my barge are divided into public spaces and private spaces. The public spaces include a reception/ waiting area , retail space , hair dressing area, wash basin , bathroom , makeup station , manicure and pedicure area and store room . The private spaces will include living room, dining area, entertainment area, kitchen and 2 bedrooms.

My design comcept is derived from my client's profession, which is a hairdresser.

One is required to know different procedures for different type of hair services. After researching on the different type of hair services that my client is providing to her customers, i decided to use strips to represent the services, and by comparing the different time needed for each service, the length and the width of the strip varies.

Future Scapes

Due to globalisation, it resulted in the complete metldown of polar ice, which caused the sea level to rise, covering all the land. Humans can no longer live on firm fixed land, instead we have to live on floating cities. Our essential resources became scarce. In order to survive , we have to depend on natural resources like solar, wind, wave etc ...

Each of us are assigned to a client. The client which i was asssigned to is a female hairdresser in her 30s.

I have 3 main volumes and the middle one is the biggest one because i want to make it as the main space for this barge. So that this main space has become the core space for everyone to gather.

The first floor is public space where community walk within the barge to travel from one barge to the other barge. Within my barge there is a passage way for them to walk, and along the passage way there are LCD screens where pass by can see what my client Micheal (web developer) doing, and they can interact or communicate with him instantly by using the touch screen LCD to either disrupt his work or commenting his work. Some of LCD screens affects what is shown on the outer and bigger LCD screen outside the barge. In this way, communication happens within and outside the barge and the community can also communicate with my client. So its a two - way communication.
