The main campus caters to students from early years to Year 13, featuring sports facilities, student and staff housing, and a state-of-the-art performing arts venue. As the design manager, I served as the primary liaison between the Executive Director and consultants. I played a crucial role in developing a sensitive and practical design that adhered to local codes, construction practices, culture, and materials, while ensuring client satisfaction and budget compliance. I streamlined the coordination process with the international design team, mentored consultants, and adapted the design to incorporate local materials, passive cooling techniques, and cost-effective structural systems. As the executive architect, I led my in-house team to align architectural design with value-engineered MEP and structural designs, producing construction documentation for local contractors. Additionally, I am assisting the QS team in contractor selection and appointment during the tendering and post-tender process.
