Charmaine’s strong connection to ecology and design was a calling for her to switch to landscape architecture from her original profession. She has ongoing interest in intervention that juxtaposes landscape and urbanism, with a vision of shaping a sustainable modern built environment. And now, she is glad to share her transfor-mation and growth in this field. Being passionate, challenge-embracing, resourceful, she is looking forward to embarking on a landscape journey.

Ariel of Existing Site in Wah Fu Estate
Wah Fu Estate has a history for more than 48 years and is one of the most long-lived estates remained in Hong Kong. Lying on the highly complex topography, the public spaces were designed to adapt and preserve such characteristics.
The project was carried out in 2 parts, first was to conduct an analysis for a large area covering 2 phrases of housing development, Wah Fu Road and the estate’s shopping mall. It is followed by a specific site design to implement strategic plans and detailed specifications.

Walk of Nature
Blow Section B:B 1:100
If the project is a dialogue between urban and country side, the upper part of the design is a noun, which is static. The tree walk area is a verb, of which the land-
scape is not definitely designed and planned. It provides conditions such as shade, humidity, soil, aspects that
foster environmental processes, changes, and growth.

Swale Sectional Diagram Over Time
Planting Strategy
At initial stage, swale is bare and water can be clearly seen being re-tained, gradually absorbed by soil
Shrub develops over moist and less exposed soil
Larger plant species develop with the soil protection and moist reten-
tion provided by shrub
A more comprehensive plant system gradually establish providing user a
different experience of tree mass

Kai Tak River was once the vein of daily living and industry activities, but is now forgotten and divorced with the neighborhood. Via the Kai Tak River Design competition, our vision is clear- to rejuvenize the river that reconnect the relationship between man and environment through water landmarked open space.

The 3-bed Bungalow is ideally designed for middle income family sized 4-6 members, with human and nature relationship re-appropriated in daily living. The domestic scale of landscape design is a fabric that wovens the naturalistic environment with the urban living. This integration reinforces functionality of the built space, while harmonizes the urban dwellers with local ecology. Arrangement of domestic units are highlight to achieve community formation.

The domestic scale of landscape design is a fabric that wovens the naturalistic environment with the urban living. This integration reinforces functionality of the built space, while harmonizes the urban dwellers with local ecology.
Choices of plant species are focused on plants indigenous to Southern Sahara. Additional to the local touch, these plants are highly adoptive to domestic climate. Time and cost of management are thus minimized.
Hierarchical scale of vegetation, ranging from medium sized tree to groundcover, are planted with specific functions- shading, water retention, privacy, edibility are a few to name. Multi-scale plants also creates asthetic layering to blend urban living with naturalistic environment.
Landscape Strategies- Leverage the hardware with the soft
Evergreen + Wind breaking
Medium-sized trees are planted at two adjacent sides of the house to shade the house, and to prevent
heating up the open area.
Venetian panels increases surface area dew condensation, while
planters are elevated to shorten the distance of water conveyance to the
plants.
Medium-to-small -sized trees are planted at two adjacent sides of the house to shade the house. Shrubs
and ground cover are right beneath. Feature tress and climbers are placed
at the entrance.
Groundcover preserves moist in the soil, preventing excessive water
being evaporated.

The Water Zip project was designed for a coastal site with a 6-meter diurnal tid-al interval. The project contains sculptural qualities which unleash the hidden power of nature. The Zip, essentially two curved walls, work in passive tense, while movement of the water fabric is active. When water level rises, water is split from 1 to 2 by the walls, and converged from 2 to 1 when exceeding wall boundaries.

Collage connecting past, present and future of Sule Pagada Road
37
Sule Pagoda Road is a North-South lying road located in the heart of the Yan-gon downtown. It has been one of the most primary roads of the city which exists in mid 19th century or before. The road is also important as it is a public gathering point. Many political events took place in the area.
The proposal challenges the current status of Sule Pagoda Road by uncovering the soul of the Pagoda it once possessed.
The redesigned space attempts to extract the pure beauty of the space by answering a few questions. What is a timeless form? How to shape respect and humbleness of a space? How to restore users-space relationship?

Berm walkway featured with local bamboos visu-ally screen away cars on the roundabout. Alternate granite and cobble Road paving on the roundabout act as a natural bumper to slow down driving speed.
The section shows the sacred monument is connected to the nature. Mist condensed on the surface of the pagoda would be collected as it flows down, channeled to the bamboo planter on the inner edge of the berm.
The berm also serves as a sound barrier, providing a silent oasis despite being at the heart of the city.
