Inspired by the Sarawak Regatta, the Ré-Guard-A is a coat designed to protect its wearer in the fight against Covid-19. Featuring long, flowing sleeves of sheer fabric, the Ré-Guard-A sleeves employ a pendulum mechanism by attaching rigid paddles at the hem to swing and fan out the sleeves as the wearer moves, mimicking the movement of boat paddles rowing against the water. Topped with extruding shoulder pads shaped like rowboats, this feature of the garment serves as a social distancing mechanism as the sleeve’s movement creates both visual and auditory warning as the paddles slap against one another.

Inspired by the QR code; small yet condensed with information, The Pixels of Kuching is a bus-stop designed to encapsulate the essence of Kuching City into just 20sqm. It combines vernacular elements from our heritage with lush greenery that expresses our goal towards a garden city, while integrating QR technology and a refreshments kiosk that seeks to expand and redefine the bus-stop typology. The Pixels of Kuching allows users to have a taste of Kuching and experience moments in nature amidst an urban landscape.
