In 2021, I was invited by my friend Qiye, to design a central building in the center of the creative industry park that I renovated for him.

Low-slung and sprawling on top of the knoll of the hill, capturing 360-degree views of the Noosa hinterland from sunrise to sunset.

Lighting design is the tool that can help to create a new aesthetically attractive, functional, and energy-efficient structures.
