country called Malaysia. My hobby includes cooking, film, travelling and art. I’m also passionate about green architecture. I always believe that in this day and age, with global warming on the rise, and since architecture is a huge part of the everyday life, we should start from designing buildings that improve in the environment, I.e. zero carbon buildings. Hence I’m very passionate about our project as it made use recycled materials. Ecstatic to be working with you!
