Architecture & Design Reviews
Once in a while, I am kindly invited by architects and designers to review their work / curation. Since 2025, I’ve decided to dedicate a separate section specifically for these invitations. For write-up requests, please send me an enquiry here.
Award Spotlight - Ammodo Architecture Award
Often, our architecture education hinges on the altruistic side, otherwise tackle the question on ‘how do we live together?’ within the current and speculative social, political, cultural and environmental context. Whether these ponderings and proposed solutions can be actioned post education is something that would take significant amount of resource and research to solidify the concepts. Back for its second edition, Ammodo Architecture is an exciting award that will hopefully continue to motivate practices to engage in community-collaborative projects. It will be interesting too to see how the awarded recipients will further develop and challenge their existing projects, and perhaps spearhead more discussions on what it means to be a ‘socially and ecologically responsible’ designer.
Welcome to the Marigold Club – a moment of opulence
Designed by FoxFox Studio in collaboration with Bailey McCarthy – The Marigold Club is a renovation project that breathes another life into a former Texan-inspired honky-tonk (a casual night-club that predominantly plays country music). Through careful eye and story-telling of French and British interior influence – the former night scene has now been transformed into a remarkable dining space, one ready to host various parties, conversations and perhaps relive a moment from one of my favourite Joanna Shupes’s novels (with modernised context of course!).
