Best piece of creative work 


I am not particularly good at drawings but making some miniature rooms is my favorite thing to do in my free time. I read books a lot so I want to replicate the room I've always wanted which has a place to sit and read and a shelf full with books. It took me around 9 hours to complete the entire room but such fun did I have making this model. 

A great piece of architecture 
 This is the falling water Building by Frank Lloyd Wright, easily my favorite architect, shortly followed by Gaudi. I'm an avid fan of all the principles that he works with, particularly organic architecture. I cringe when I hear architects or interior designers say "I wanted to erase all boundaries between the exterior and interior". I don't believe this is possible, but I do believe that to a large extent a building can be designed to complement its' site. Frank Lloyd Wright is the master when it comes to designing buildings that become part of the landscape... buildings that grow from their landscape.
Original Photo


The photo was taken at an island called Smart Island which is one of Myeik islands in Myanmar. This island can be considered as one of the wonders in Myanmar of nature since this shore or beach is beautifully covered entirely with those stones. Also, there is a rumor that if a person can make 10 stacks of stones on top of one another, they could make a wish and their dream would come true.

Spider - Ancient
This building is divided into two different sections: above ground and below ground. The above ground section is based on the word - spider. It has some irregular shaped pillars which represent the legs of a spider, on the inside, a weird shaped block can be seen which represents an egg inside of a spider.

The ground floor is inspired by the word 'Ancient'. Just by entering into it, you can a sense of ancient Greek architecture. There are two levels within the ground floor and there is also an ordinary stairs that connects between two storeyes.

Spider Stairs 

The staircase that connects the upstairs studio space to the ground floor showroom was inspired by the word 'spider'. The wavy handler is inspired by the trail of a spider while the body of the stairs is inspired spider webs. The blank circles represent the eyes of a spider.

Ancient themed Stairs

This staircase is mostly inspired by Greek architecture, for this type of shape, there is a specific name called Ionic order. It is one of the three orders of classical orders. The entire stairs can be seen as an ancient themed stairs.

Innovation of a Workshop & Stairs  

 I innovated the entire thing without making a new plan by using Sketchup instead of Shape3D. For sure it was hard for me to draw these but it took me quite awhile to get a hang of it. As you can see, I divided into two storeys and there's a glass wall between every two curved columns. The stairs are also made of glass-a very strong type, with spider webs shapes. My client is Mountain & Moon (Audrey Allen and Ashton Cameron).
