Located in Etobicoke, Ontario, “Alvarius Condominiums” is a proposal for a multigenerational, mid-level rise residential building. The concept of Alvarius replicates elements of nature in the beehive. The façade design mimics the hexagon-shaped beehives to produce interconnected balconies. The angled hexagon extrusions create shaded balconies while also focusing the interior views away from neighbouring buildings. The interior courtyard and the rooftop terraces create semi-private comprehensive social gathering spaces that focus on different demographics. The lower courtyard caters to seniors as it has easier access, it is surrounded by more vegetation and is closer to the senior-focused living units. The 4th level terrace is focuses on families and children as it is closest to the west wing which comprises most of the 2-bedroom units. Finally, the 5th and 7th level terraces target the adult demographic since it is closest to the 1-bedroom units in the east wing.

The Philippines, a tropical archipelago located in south east Asia, is a developing country weighed down by land pollution. The Philippines has the potential to be a clean, luxurious, tropical sanctuary. However, economic circumstances has hindered that progress.
The scheme of the project is to mitigate the problem of land pollution in the Philippines. The goal is to make an impact on a local, community-wide scale. Therefore, this project can be applied to any community in the Philippines, or the entire world.
This project is a challenge to send a message about sustainability. The Philippines is one of the many developing countries that suffer due to poor sustainability practices. Although it is nearly impossible to come up with a simple answer to end this worldwide crisis, it is the small scale, local, creative solutions that generate ideas and begin change in the world.
In order to generate change in the community, the people must acknowledge their cultural roots and skills. For centuries, the people of the Philippines have been gifted in craftmanship. Most Filipinos are naturally hardworking people and have an eye for long lasting, time enduring arts and crafts. Therefore, utilizing their gifts as a can help themselves in their communities, mediate the pollution crisis, and can create a strong incentive on cultural sustainability.
The Petersons are seniors in their late 70’s and in fit condition. They are looking to create a multi-generational house that would have their son, daughter-in-law and 4 year old grandson move in. The ability to have a rental unit in the future would help with long-term costs and amortization of the required costs. They are looking for a contemporary minimalistic design for their new home.
Our mission is to help the Peterson's acclimate to the new lifestyle of living with their family once they move in. The task is to encourage a better quality of life, to continue to live the present moment and in the best possible way with their loved ones at their side.

A collection of woodworking and craftsmanship I have made in the past several years. Woodworking has always been a great hobby of mine, since it allows me to excercise my ability to work independently, attention to detail and excercise my fast paced work ethics.
