Design Board

  \ The image above is a few of my design boards for my modern treehouse. I went for a modern look, the glass sliding door, wooden floor, wooden exterior stairs and various wall materials. There are also a few ideas for the interior design of the house. 

Week Seven: Target Audience

My Target Audience The intended audience would be young individuals, especially those from the GenZ generation, newly married couples, and adventure seekers who enjoy outdoor activities. I am working on a significant project that focuses on a modern treehouse. The primary target audience for this project is people who love nature, adventure, and outdoor activities such as hiking, rock climbing and mountain biking. The concept of a modern treehouse is new and unique, so it is expected to attract young individuals looking for something exciting and unconventional. This project is perfect for those who want to step out of their comfort zone, explore their limits, or transform their discomfort into comfort. Stats of marriage in Malaysia (Higher number of marriages, fewer divorces recorded in 2021, Malay Mail) The statistics indicate that the percentage of married couples in Malaysia is rising. This implies that these couples seek a suitable home to raise their families. A spacious tree hou...

Week Seven: Research - Style of Architecture

Research - Style of Architecture. As part of my major term project, I plan to design modern buildings that adopt a contemporary architectural style. My main goal is to create a modernized treehouse that offers future generations a nostalgic childhood experience. The building will be more appealing and attractive to the younger audience by incorporating modern design elements. For this project, I am studying the works of Frank Lloyd Wright. Frank Lloyd Wright was a renowned architect who created buildings that blended harmoniously with their surroundings. He famously promoted the “organic architecture” concept, which focused on designing buildings in sync with nature. His significant achievements included his innovative designs and efficient space utilization. Wright is considered the  “greatest American architect of all time”  (by the American Institute of Architects) after spending seven decades in the field before he died in 1959.  (2023) Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation I...

WEEK SIX: Contacts

  This is my contact page where you can reach out to me. I have listed the location of my workplace, which is the Art Factory. As I haven't decided whether to add my phone number or not, I have included a random number for now. You can contact me through my email address, and my website links such as Blogger and Instagram are also provided. This page which contains my contacts is a new page that I did and a button that leads to the page. The image above is a lightbox that I added at the very bottom of all of my pages.

Week Six: Technical Research and Beginning Digital Work

Site Plan Analysis Geology, soil typology, vegetation, hydrography. During my site plan analysis, I will research the soil and geology of Sarawak, Malaysia, where I will be designing my project. There, the predominant soil is the podzol – a leached soil composed of pale-coloured sands with accumulations beneath the surface (re-deposits) of the surface humus (decayed organic matter) and iron. Such soils may have accumulated on old river alluvium or coarse-textured sandstone rocks and thus are usually well-drained. ( Sarawak's soil system  (2015) ) The total peatland area of Sarawak is estimated to be about 1,657,600 hectares, representing 13% of the whole land area. Many of the peat swamp forests (PSF) have been harvested or transformed into agricultural lands and settlements along the coastal areas of Sarawak's lowland plains. Owing to the rapid transformation of the PSF, there has been increased attention on conserving some of what is left for biodiversity, water resources, r...

WEEK SIX: About Me

This website serves as a platform to showcase my final work and as a digital portfolio for my primary term project.

Week Five: Research & Development

 Style of Architecture. The word 'treehouse' and the phrase 'tree house' can be used interchangeably. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, a treehouse is "a structure built in the branches of a tree for children to play in." The Treehouse Guide, a website dedicated to treehouse construction, provides a more detailed definition. It states that a treehouse is "a structure built in or around a tree which interacts with and relies upon the tree for its support. It consists of a roofed platform that defines a sheltered space which may be fully enclosed for protection from the elements." ( The Treehouse Guide, 2023) The amount of ground support allowed for a structure to be called a treehouse is a matter of debate among builders. Some believe that a treehouse must be entirely supported by the tree, while others argue that some ground support is acceptable as long as the structure primarily relies on the tree. The Treehouse Guide refers to a structur...
