'Flow like water and you will find your way through any rock' 🌊 // Exploring the Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) designed by Zaha Hadid in Seoul was super fun! 😀 Such an incredible design that resembles the flow of liquid and allows for flexibility in space - so futuristic! 🛸 Which shot from the set is your favourite? Can't wait to travel again soon (going to Japan in 2 days time! 😮) and explore more cool architecture! #seoul #sonyalpha #ddp (at Dongdaemun Design Plaza 동대문디자인플라자) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp2Idk5LCha/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

'If you look closely, there's always an upside' 🙃 // Came across this epic church while wandering around Istanbul, Turkey back in 2018 and thought of doing this style of edit as soon as I entered the space! 😀 Just got around to creating it now though... 5 years later! 😆 What do you think? Swipe left to see what the photo looked like before the mirror edit 👈🏻 #istanbul #photography #madewithphotoshop (at Istanbul, Turkey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpuZi55rvAc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

'Do it for your future self' ✌🏻 // Which photo do you prefer, 1 or 2? How futuristic does this BBQ restaurant look in Jeju Island!? 😀 When we arrived at the carpark, I immediately took out my camera and started taking photos - almost missed our booking! 😆 The rain made it look even more cyberpunk too! 😎 #jejuisland #nightphotography #neulbom (at Jeju Island, South Korea 제주도) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpZ07USvAY-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

'Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground' 🌠 // Another example of a super cool shopping mall in Asia - this is the entrance to Wheelock Place in Singapore! 😍 It felt like we were in outer space! 🛸 A tip if you want to take photos here: Go when it is just about to close in the evening, you'll get it empty and the escalators will be stopped so you don't need to go up and down to take your photos! 😉😆 You'll have to be quick though because the mall will close! 😮 #wheelockplace #singapore #photography (at Wheelock Place) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpPghpJrA5J/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

'Dream Big. Work Hard. Make It Happen.' // What would be your dream job/career? Let me know in the comments below! 👇🏻 For me, my dream job when I was younger was to run my own architecture firm and design small houses 🏠 but life took me on a different path (while I was working in architecture) and showed me another dream which I never thought would be possible which was photography and content creation! 📷 Literally feel super blessed to be able to do what I do for a living and can't thank you guys all enough for it! 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Ps. Found these giant red letters while we were exploring our hotel retail area in Jeju Island (Grand Hyatt Jeju) - the ceiling pattern and floor tiles framed it so nicely! 😀 AND the D and R were so perfect as they're my intials lol 😆 #jejuisland #dream #photography (at Grand Hyatt Jeju) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co9fmIdLWns/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

'You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step' 🏠 // Checked out the Do Ho Suh exhibition yesterday @mca_australia and it was really awesome! 😀 The sculptures and architectural installations are about the complex relationships between the body, memory and space. Swipe through and let me know which artwork and which photo you like best! 👈🏻 Images 1, 8, 9: Staircase-III (A 1:1 replica of the staircase that connects Do Ho Suh's apartment to his landlord's upstairs made out of fabric mesh and wires) Images 2, 3, 4: Floor (Thousands of tiny figures collectively supporting transparent glass plates which we can walk on top of) 5: Who Am We?

'Stay wavy baby' 🌊 // How cool is building facade!? It's the GT Tower East Building in Seoul designed by ArchitectenConsort Super trippy looking at it in real life in contrast to the straight buildings around it! Love when I come across amazing architecture when travelling! #seoul #architecture #gttower (at Seoul, Korea) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoKBAT4r-Fl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

'Don't wish for it, work for it' 💪🏻 // So glad we came across this building (Setia SPICE Convention Centre) when we visited Penang over the Christmas break last year! 😀 An incredible triangulated structure that spans such a huge distance without any columns in the middle - makes for such a cool pattern too! ✈️ Pro-tip: When travelling, I always do a quick Google search to find cool photo spots (for example 'Penang Modern Architecture' or 'Penang Instagram Spots') 😉 Pick the places that might interest you and then locate and pin them on Google Maps so it's convenient when you get to the city/country! 🥳 This was how I found this super cool building! 🙂 Do you do this too when travelling? #photography #penang #architecture (at Setia SPICE Convention Centre) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn376xPrBgf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

'Look at the stars, look how they shine for you' ✨️ // I posted the white/silver side of this building (Paradise City) a few months ago but did you guys know that the other side of the building is yellow/gold? 😀 Such cool architecture close to the International Airport in Seoul! 😍 What does it look like to you? #architecture_hunter #seoul #mvrdv (at 클럽 크로마 Club Chroma) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cny0elartD4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

'Everything we care about lies somewhere in the middle, where pattern and randomness interlace' 🔗 // This is definitely one of the coolest apartment buildings I've ever seen/photographed! 😍 'The Interlace' designed by @oma.eu and @buroolescheeren breaks the standard apartment vertical tower design by stacking horizontal buildings on top of each other like Jenga blocks! 🤯 Such a refreshing take on architecture, this building was awarded the World Building of the Year at the 2015 World Architecture Festival! 😀 I wonder how many elevators you need to take to get to your apartment though if you live in one of the higher ones!? 😆 Have you ever seen apartments like this before? #singapore #architecture #theinterlace (at The Interlace Singapore) https://www.instagram.com/p/CneOvqFr2HQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
