The Babel
An 'eternal tower' structured perpetually under construction, housing modular offices and workshops. The proposal reimagines a privatised storage facility into a dense maker-space and communal workshop.

Credit to the amazing team behind this project, Tess O'Connor & Hanif Attamimi, — without their talent, support, and effort, this fascinating piece of work would not have been possible.
The School
Integrating technology, ecology, and collaborative learning. The design moves away from conventional classrooms to emphasize teamwork, hands-on learning, and a nursery system for land regeneration.

The Student Housing
An exploration of adaptive reuse emphasizing extractivist history — utilizing extracted materials to create a cycle of our own, not trying to erase what has happened.

About
Steve Chen
Graduate Architect
Graduate architect from the University of Technology Sydney with hands-on experience spanning industrial warehousing, commercial interiors, and small residential builds — construction values ranging from $109k to $50 million. Interested in how buildings emerge from their context, through materiality, adaptive reuse, and an honest expression of structure.
Previously at Nettletontribe, UniSpace, and Tiny Mobile Homes — where he led a small team designing an affordable housing prototype from concept through construction documentation. Proficient in 3D modelling, rendering, and computational design workflows. Fluent in English and Mandarin.
