Interspecies Care

Located at Kingdom Life Youth and Community Centre, this project proposes a community-based animal care hub connecting elderly pet owners, stray animals, and local residents through spaces for temporary care, interaction, reunion, and rehoming. Extending the existing community centre, the design explores inclusivity as a shared interspecies responsibility through physical, visual, and emotional connections between humans and animals. A key architectural moment is the shared threshold between the Community Hall and Cat House, where glazing and sectional depth create visual connectivity while maintaining separation and safety.

My interests lie in materiality, sensory experiences, and socially responsive design that explores relationships between users, space, and environment. I am particularly interested in how movement, atmosphere, and material storytelling can shape emotional and spatial experiences within architecture. Through my work, I aim to explore inclusive and community-focused design approaches that create meaningful connections between people, place, and the wider ecological context.
