Page 1


Hi, my name is Beth.

I am a second-year student at the University of Waterloo School of Architecture.

I am not only interested in architecture but design as a whole and how culture impacts design and vice versa. Drawing inspiration from fashion, film, product design and graphic design I believe everything is connected and so my designs and ideas should reflect that. My sense of style is driven by nostalgia, sustainability, and community. We are in an age where we are becoming very aware of how we are impacting the earth and how the digital age has changed how we interact with each other. I believe there is this growing need to feel at home and comforted in a world that can be very cold and isolating. Bringing warmth, coziness and novelty to my projects creates a sense of connection that I believe is so important. (647) 678-5115

To whom it may concern,

It is with great pleasure that I write a letter of reference for Beth Campbell. Beth joined CGS Curran Gacesa Slote Architects Inc. as architectural student for a month in 2023. I was her supervisor for the duration of her time here, and worked closely with her on various projects.

Beth came to our firm after completing her first year in architecture at the University of Waterloo. Her enthusiasm for the field was evident from the outset, and she displayed a remarkable dedication to learning and contributing to our projects. She showed great promise in her understanding of architectural concepts and was eager to apply her academic knowledge in practical settings.

During her time with us, Beth exhibited a strong work ethic, attention to detail, and a keen desire to understand the intricacies of architectural design. She actively engaged in various tasks, demonstrating her ability to work both in dependently and collaboratively within our team. Her willingness to take on new challenges and her proactive approach to problem-solving were commendable

Beth's effective communication skills, coupled with her creative thinking and eagerness to learn, greatly benefited our projects. She consistently demonstrated a willingness to go above and beyond what was expected of her as an intern.

It is without hesitation that I recommend Beth Campbell. Her passion for architecture, coupled with her dedication and capabilities, make her a valuable asset to any architectural endeavor she chooses to pursue. I am confident that she will continue to excel and contribute positively to the field.

Should you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Regards,

The two highligted voids act as a language to seperate key spaces while connecting them through a key space. The orange void centrilaizes the making aspect of the programming with a public workshop. The blue void centrilizes the visiting and viewing program in the form of an outdoor courtyard.

Located in Ontario’s Haliburton Highlands the oasis inhabits a live-work space for two botanists. The off-grid house offers passive heating and cooling strategies including insulation suitable for a house in northern Ontario, sustainable energy sources and a net-zero water system. In addition, materials such as window frames, brick, and concrete were salvaged and reused insitu from the existing uninhabited building.

With a greenhouse and a loft workspace the oasis is a warm and welcoming home for botanists to study the local flora yearround.
