The convent is a heritage listed gothic Revival-style, Victorian building with a long history. Now a tourist site, many activities are held here involving art and music. People come here for the history and peaceful, natural atmosphere. The new bar/restaurant space is separated into informal dining area, formal dining area and a private dining room. The areas are flexible to suit different dining situations. Inspired by Tokujin Yoshioka's Rainbow Church, transparent materials such as polycarbonate, glass and mirror are used. These materials reflect light and look like shining crystal under the light, adding a feeling of luxury.

Skills
Design solutions for public space interiors 3D digital model in Revit 2013 CAD for design and documentation Structural elements for interior design Sustainable finishes and materials selection Hand drawing and rendering technique Presentation board design Client presentation

Design Statement
This is a renovation project located in Fitzroy. I took my inspiration from one of the most popular sport football to continue the original construction design of Fitzroy Pool with oval shape, which can be seen in the original floor plan. Capturing the movement of the falling football ,the oval shapes is mainly used with suspend ceilings and flooring to define the functional spaces in the new layout. To fill with the abundant natural light, the lobby-reception area and cafe bar area are well located in front of the large glazed windows. For a better open view, all walls in the cafe seating area are removed, and open up to the outdoor. Light, both natural and artificial, is a key element for the entire place. The most eco-friendly and the most common materials can be seen in Fitroy, such as brick, bluestone, recycle metal pipes and eco plywood, dominate the entire space, to capture the spirit of Fitzroy.

Design Statement
Inspired by the movie "Midnight in Paris", I took the idea that Paris has different beauties, one in daytime and another at night, to create two different views yet in one room in a harmonized way. Smooth, glossy and silk-like while sustainable fabrics are used to create a luxurious and elegant environment in contrast colors. Use of jewelry colors such as Silver, Purple are accented with black and white. Bold use of black color on walls and fabric to create a sense of mystique and romantic. Natural elements such as bird cage, driftwood sticks lamp, iron wire bird and botanic pattern soft furnishing are used to bring the garden feeling into the room. Detail design on the wall with architectural detail to enhance the French style.

Design Statement
I took inspiration from Zaha Hadids design while I developed my design proposal. Zaha Hadid is internationally known as an Architectural Designer, whose works produce the unexpected and dynamic architectural forms. I created my design with curvilinear shapes to divide different functional areas, while keeping a clear and open travel line. Sustainable and eco friendly materials have been used in the whole house, such as plastic look wall in the foyer, dining table and chairs made of 100% recyclable polypropylene, polycarbonate for the office wall, Liquid Wood for Shelving Unit, combining a simple colour scheme of white, black, red, marine, and neutral colour to achieve a contemporary and modern look.
