DAECAN TEEDesigner and Architectural AssistantPractised in an architecture firm for a year, Daecan has matured considerably as a designer and thinker, with great obsession and sensitivity to materials and details. He has an addiction in creative problem solving and is in love with the process of making and craftsmanship.
Optimistic, accountable and a fast learner, he has a passion for films and visual imagery besides architecture. Aspire to be an eclectic designer, Daecan constantly challenges himself to venture into novelty and inventive ideas, eschewing orthodoxy in favour of augmenting his skills in every possible facet. His core interests are human culture, rejuvenation of urban spaces, and intervention of contemporary and traditional design products.

PROGRAMDwelling Space
LOCATIONRedang Island, Malaysia
SITE AREA150sqm
YEAR2010
Redang Island is prominent for being a conservation site for sea turtles. Taking that as the concept, the rest of the de-sign is contextually driven. The hybridi-sation of beach and turtle resulted in creating a perfect space for meditation and contemplation.

SPOTTED SKIN PATTERN HARD VS SOFT WELL FITNESSIn its natural state, the patterns on the turtle’s skin shares similar char-acter with light dapples and loose rock. These characteristic leads to the ideation of the spaces in terms of materiality and mood.
The contrast of hard and soft is com-plimentarily blended and conveyed into the texture and materiality of the design. From the dappled light shadow to the light streak shines through the gabion wall to the ar-rangement of gabion rocks.
The spaces are encapsulated within the invisible spatial boundary of the nature, hence resulting in designing a site-hugging and site responsive shelter.

ROOF PLAN7
The proposed site is well-seclud-ed and quiet area despite being a stone’s throw away from the nearest resort.
The elongated site is separated by a narrow 500mm wide gap between two rocks, which makes the path less travelled. Curiosity made me walk sideways through the gap to the beauty beyond. It was an awe to find a private cove with a breath-taking view of the sea.
Design of ‘The Gap’ follows the context and forms a more welcom-ing funnel-like tunnel for visitors to embrace the nature and relax in the shady gabion shelter, inside the dap-pled-lit glass box and on the deck over the cove of lapping waters.
Locally salvaged coconut timber is used to make the timber deck for its dark, earthy, warm tone, set to make the dwelling space comfortable and relax.

Vernacular HedonismLocated at the spine of Old Kuala Lumpur - Jalan Tunku Adbul Rahman, the area also known as Chow Kit, infamous for its markets, cheap wholesale goods, textile hub and as a red light district. Despite dense multicultural business, many shophouses have been long abandoned due to the environment and ma-jority are now occupied by immigrant work-ers. To invigorate the place, the proposed program is a fusion of urban farming park, cafe, communal spaces and SOHO units.

Buffer Screen For PrivacyView looking into one and other’s premises is filtered by vertical greeneries and simultaneously beautifying the environment.
Buffer Screen For Better Interior QualityA vertical green screen on the front facade does not just add a pleasant surprise to the streetscape, it also provide privacy for the living quarters, blocks out the noise and smell from the traffic.
Active Facade & Back Alley Access to MarketBuilding facade can be active with vertical connec-tion while viewing out to the city is an experience. Upkeeping the alley well will certainly increases its usage and eventually turning into a pedestrian street.

This final project calls to constitute a sustainable public architectural scheme that will be given impetus to social, cultural and environmen-tal aspects of South Klang. How can the historical memory of an old port town be insinuated into and incorporated with the dynamics of the present in a contemporary manner? The amalgam balance of history and future is deployed with the theory of proxemics urbanism.

Views and Axis Sculpture in The Park
Potential Access and Nodal PointsThe site finds itself to be situated in the middle of vast typologies. The design project will potentially be a gathering space that invites and connects all users from the neighbouring context.
Analysing from the flow of circulation, a new potential pedestrain path crossing the site will be introduced, solving the issue of missing pedestrian sidewalks and pedestrains’ safety at the same time.
The project will respond to the Royal Gallery symmetrically and align to the visual axis of the Mosque. The project also considers unblocked views across the site and towards the gallery.
Aware of taking over the vast green open space, the project is decided to retain the green, main-taining the sense of openness and projects itself as a sculpture in the ‘courtyard’ of the town.

ASPECTSSound, Water, Light, Wind
YEAR2013
Rethinking Sound-Proof Turning negative spaces in soundproofing materials to positive habitable spaces while taking the positive space of the material as the structure.
Enhacing Space with Sound and WindImagining the scheme being adopted into the scale of a pavilion and by intro-ducing the strategy of domes within a dome, it certainly has enhancement to a space with different reverberations of echo, where sound can be visually per-ceived based on its pitch and volume.
32
Beyond straight lines and restricted modularity, organic voids are now a containment of sound and activities, no longer as a buffer zone. The desire to soundproof a space but still maintain-ing visual connection can be achieved by simply creating a vacuum in a thin gap space. The isolation gap between public and private spaces can perhaps be brought closer together.
A Conjecture of Sound Void, Vacuum Body
Volume and The Helmholtz ResonanceThe sound of the air under the dome decreases as the volume of the enclosure reduces, however the pitch of the sound produced at the tip of the neck increases. Two different qualities are produced at the same time.
Bernoulli’s Principle and Spatial QualityWhen air or wind pressure is manipulated and controlled, the space un-der the enclosure will experience different spatial qualities and may even achieve a “vacuum” space.
33
34
Amalgamation of Sound, Wind, Light and WaterInspired by the science of saltwa-ter lighting up a light bulb, the question is how can we take ad-vantage of this and scale it up?
For commercial use: Is it possible to be an electricity resource for housing on the sea or underwa-ter? Can it be a glowing shelter over swimming pool?
The ultimate idea is to change the perception of light (electricity) and water are never good friends. Where as sound and wind from sur-rounding movement serve as the manipulative variables that change the state of the light.
A 3d printed model was made to present the idea of a light installa-tion playground.
36
With an open brief, the client has left the programme for us to de-cide what best fits. Approach taken towards this brief is to look at how a design icon belongs only to the proposed site and not a landed alien spaceship.

Pragmatic Solution by Providing Shelter
Structural Stability + Permeability
Studying the site as a piece of puzzle from the panaromic view of the main entrance of the university, it is decided that the ‘icon’ should be visually and actively permeable as well as maintaining the architecture flow.
Solving problems while creating visual aesthetics, the diverse range of land-scape vocabularies generously prevalent within the site’s vicinity and the absence of ‘green’ and shade at the site itself have then inspired a study to conserve greenery in a built-up space – one that explores how green can be multiplied in a manner that is architecturally striking, integrated and sustainable.

Incorporating the brand identity of Pepsico’s beverage- 7UP & Lipton with The Roman Colossuem and everything else we do, we strategized it to be a whole package as if it was a serious collaborative work rather than merely a sculpture competition.
Grand Prize Winner
With the Ancient Roman Colossuem (cho-sen from the 7 Wonders of The World given by the brief) as inspiration, our team - WE, MIRTHS interprets it as a fun and carefree idea embodied in a larger conceptual scheme of ‘diverse levels’, hence our proposed sculp-ture design does not rigidify spaces and allow interactions at different levels.

45
Restricted to reusing Pepsico’s plastic bot-tles as the main material, we were the only one who came up an radical abstract form among all competitors. The form was inspired from playing with a strip of paper. The design was initially to be a Mobius loop, which consists of a tunnel and was eventually left with a canti-levering curve after calculating the amount of material and time we need.
In the whole branding process, we design a logo for ourselves, turn that logo into a mas-cot for plastic bottles collection; we stick to the colours of the beverage brands, carefully carried it through to the sculpture; we took to an unorthodox yet fun marketing campaign by doing guerrilla marketing, street art tagging and also early adopter of using QR code to link with our Facebook page for updates and vot-ing. - We,Mirths: A bubbly good time.

In the initial stage of redesigning the old building, we strategically tore down walls to create a boundariless interior, and also created openings to bring the ‘outside’ inside, so the house appears to be more spacious.
We have carefully chosen the cli-ent’s salvaged timber louver windows and doors, selected a suitable warm tint for them to create a cosy interior. In addition, we have selected warm lightings for the majority spaces of the house. We also made sure all the white paints are off-white so that it does not appear to be sterile and cold, even on the exterior.
Multiple alternative materials and construction methods have been thought out to satisfy the client’s budget.
The landscape is kept as hon-est and rustic as possible with the use of old railway sleepers for the deck, unfinished red bricks for walls and fence, and complimenting rein-forced concrete plinth with aggre-gate for the perimeter walkway as well as drain covers. These elements are left in their natural state, ready to receive the domination of creepers and the wild.
