Hello, my name is Anna

While growing up in Moscow, Russia I have observed the interactions between life and architecture. I discovered the influence and the power architecture has over people in a rapidly growing metropolis. And when I came to Toronto, I have observed the same principles working in a different culture.

The transition to the new city allowed me to understand how crucial architecture is to understanding another culture. As an aspiring architect, I am very passionate about learning and exploring how the art of building can influence the society we live in and how the inter-professional and interpersonal collaboration and teamwork can create purposeful architecture.

FUZE DISTILLERY

This project is located across from the Distillery District in Toronto. The building encases whiskey and vodka distillery, restaurant, bar, tasting and retail space, as well as, offices and classrooms.

This project was the final 3rd year project and was designed in pairs.

My partner and I decided to create the firewall splitting the building into two to separate the programs and accommodate Ontario Building Code fire separation requirements. The east building encases the distillery, offices and classrooms, while the west is locating the bar, restaurant, retail and tasting area overlooking the park. The biggest challenge was the Ontario Heritage Act, which required to maintain east, north and south facade walls. Thus, it was decided place the restaurant and the bar to the west and create an iconic and landmark-like look, that is visible from the series of parks on the west. As well, we have decided to create two overlapping crystals: black for the night bar, light for the daytime restaurant.

One of the key elements in this project was the Tasting Area located in the centre of the building on the ground floor. The Tasting was the first space visible when coming from the main entrance and also served as an orientation point since it was enclosed within an atrium. Hence, it was decided to make it the centrepoint of circulation, as well as showcase the aging barrels behind it to create impressionable and lively atmosphere.

The materiality of spaces varied depending on the program. The distillery, offices and classrooms in the west building used rustic materials: brick, concrete and wood, while the light crystal was made of channel glass and steel, and black crystal was covered with black toughened glass. In addition, the structural systems for two buildings are different. The east used steel columns and beams, whereas, crystals use the rigid frame to allow for more stability, flexibility and spaciousness.

Throughout the semester of working on FUZE Distillery I have created over 10 physical models of different scales. The picture on the left is one of the structural study models created at 1:250 scale.

The picture on the left features 1:200 sectional model made of mdf and acrylic. The photo also features three massing models: two of which were made of cardboard and acrylic, and the last one was a wood massing.

The models were exhibited on Ryerson Architectural Science Department Year End Show 2018. The show showcases selected works of students from Architectural Science Department, all works were chosen by faculty.

NORDIC FUNERAL

Nordic Funeral is an ancient burial ritual of Vikings when a warrior’s deceased body is burned while soul is transferred to Valhalla. In this ritual one’s body is placed on a boat or a ship and later burned on a ground or water. This method was often used by Vikings and allowed their soul to be forever commemorated. This ritual uses the architecture of the ship, the most precious item in Viking’s possession, as a grave which dies with its owner.

In this project I wanted to explore how architecture can become the vessel for the body and play a crucial part in the celebration of death. To achieve this I have used pure wood construction to create architecture which when burnt leaves no trace. Pine was the wood of choice since it was also used in Viking’s ships and shields. I used Structural wood frames and thin wood or bark sheets to create a burnable catafalque which resembles Viking ship and honors the dead.

L’Anse aux Meadows was the first Viking settlement in North America and is a significant historical site surrounded by rocky shore and meadows. It is a perfect place for a Nordic Funeral due to its rocky shore, flat landscape, relation to the Labrador Sea and Vikings’ history.

ENODARE

MONTE D’OIRO WINE TASTING ROOM

This project was created for MONTE D’OIRO WINE TASTING ROOM competition. My partner and I were tasked with creating an inviting and innovative tasting room for guests to enjoy the wine and the views of the Monte d’Orio vineyard in Portugal.

Located in rural area and surrounded by industrial structures of the winery and beautiful views of the vineyard our project was inspired by the vernacular architecture of Portugal. By introducing framing elements of construction combined with modern take on brick we aimed to lighten the interior and create a landmark. The materiality of brick and perforated brick aims to bring a modern twist to the surrounding terracotta, while stone and wood combined with brass and green accents create an attractive yet calm atmosphere. Thus, as the guest moves through the space, Enodare transforms from a compressive, massive form to a lightened and airy, unraveling the magnificent view to the vineyards.

Made in Collaboration with Ana Ene Revit, Adobe Suite

The space is divided into four zones: entrance, bar, dining and patio. The corridor serves as a central connection between the spaces and seeks to bring emphasis to the vineyards and create a sense of direction. Elevated and narrow entrance area prepares the guest for the expansive lit dining and bar area upfront.

NORTH-SOUTH SECTION SCALE 1:100

While dining locates a series of lit tables, and the bar provides more intimate seating and is connected to the discrete storage space. Furthermore, the south entrance is accessed through the paved path and leads one to the outdoor patio shaded by perforated brick that can be used during warmer months to increase capacity.

Enodare’s construction is designed to create tension between mass and light. The form was kept as pure as possible, allowing light to filter into the space in strategic ways. The brick is used throughout the interior and is complimented by transparent glass slits and perforated brick walls that create the play of shadows in the dining.

LITTLE CANADA: RENDERED PLANS

Little Canada is Toronto’s newest attraction located on Yonge and Dundas and bound to open in 2020.

The project hosts series of miniature models of beautiful Canadian landscape and aims to “take you on a journey of discovery from the moment you enter, a place where you’ll lose yourself in our country’s captivating vistas, famous landmarks, iconic cityscapes and little stories in miniature scale. Our mission is to evoke a sense of wonder and curiosity about Canada. “ While working at RevelHouse I helped with initial site surveying, component 3d modeling, finishes and furnishings book and have created the rendered plans you can see on the left.

TVC MALL: RENDERINGS

Located in Trinidad and Tobago this project serves as an addition to an existing TVC Mall. The project consists of two levels: Level 1-Family Entertainment and Level 2-Adult Entertainment.

The project’s goal was to create casual yet clean and attractive spaces, which lead to use of warm and natural materials combined with vibrant pops of colour. The top render depicts proposed Level 2 dining area with the central island bar and the steelpan drum wall installation. While the bottom render shows the VIP bowling area, which aims to create a high end space within bowling attraction by using luxurious materials, such as metal coil drapery and stone tile.

While working on this project at RevelHouse I contributed to 3d modeling and have created renders for Level 2, as well as, created finishes and furnishings books for both levels, which included finding specs and ordering material samples.

PROFESSIONAL WORK: HERZOG

This project was created for “Herzog Germany�, a Germany based automotive mechanics supplier company. When working at 100krat I was the lead designer for this project and was responsible for executing 3d and 2d drawings and communicating with the client, project manager and the build team throughout the development of the design. The program for this stand consisted of series of display areas, reception and a private meeting room. This project was built and exhibited on MIMS 2017 in Moscow, Russia.
