Design Philosophy:

At 10 Design, architecture begins with a story, a narrative shaped through engagement with clients, users, and the life of the site itself. Our process seeks to distill meaning into form, pursuing clarity in geometry, construction, and detail that defines every project we deliver.

Trained across multiple scales and typologies, I bridge the intimacy of mid-century modern house restorations and additions in with the complexity of large-scale integrated resorts and mixed-use developments across Asia. This dual grounding informs a practice that is both experimental and disciplined, combining a sensitivity to human experience with a command of technical craft.

I am deeply interested in how architecture can endure change - socially, technologically, and environmentally. In the high-pressure world of commercial development, future-proofing has become a design imperative. Projects must remain accessible, adaptable, and relevant long after completion. The goal is to create buildings that balance emotional resonance with long-term performance, an architecture that is both beautiful and built to last.

At the heart of it, we believe that architecture is a continuous conversation. One established between narrative and precision, memory and innovation. Through this lens, I continue to explore a contemporary architectural vocabulary that respects history while anticipating tomorrow’s needs.
