An Interior Architecture student exploring cultural retail design, with a strong interest in heritage-inspired spatial experiences.

Their project, Golden Weave: The Art of Songket, investigates the relationship between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary retail environments, translating it into a spatial experience that responds to local identity and cultural storytelling. Inspired by the intricate patterns and weaving process of songket textiles, the design integrates pattern layering, warm materiality, and crafted detailing to create a rich and immersive environment.

Set within Kota Lama Duyung, the project reinterprets Malay heritage and artisanal craft into a modern retail setting, balancing tradition with a refined contemporary aesthetic. Through this work, the student demonstrates the ability to combine conceptual development, material exploration, and spatial narrative into a cohesive design outcome.
