The Origami Library

Created with Rhino7, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Ilustrator, Adobe InDesign, and Enscape Render

Located in West Don Lands, Ontario, this library offers a place of gathering and learning to the occupants of the neighboring apartment buildings. The geometric brick-tile façade is inspired by the historical development of the area; from the adjacent industrial buildings from the 1800s to the modern condominium units of the present day. The folded building envelope acts as a statement in this urban environment, enticing people to come out of their condo units and come together as a community.

This yoga studio and student living space shares a steeply pitched site with three other buildings to create a welcoming environment for a total of eight student tenants. The name, Dimensional Relief, alludes to the logic of the building design as well as the relief and dimensionality harnessed in one’s inner yogi. The logic behind this building’s dense design was carving spaces out of the density and adding in other elements, such as windows and furnishing. Providing more than enough shelving and storage opportunities, this dense structure also provides its users with built-in furniture- or rather, ‘carved-out’ furniture.

Bridge Jeffersonianum

Created with Rhino7, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, AutoCAD, and Enscape

The Dundas Valley Conservation Area is the natural habitat to various wildlife and vegetation. This ten-meter pedestrian bridge design is inspired by its surroundings, primarily the Jefferson Salamanders, Ambystoma jeffersonianum, which are native to Central and Southern Ontario. Its design not only mimics the shape of the little amphibian, but it also blends into its surroundings by reflecting nature back to any inattentive by passers through the use of polished aluminum panels. The weathered steel panels lining the interior of the bridge ‘rib cage’ allows for the user to have two different experiences when approaching and walking across the bridge.

Grand River Oasis

Originally completed in collaboration with Dakota Bacchus. Graphic style updated by author since project completion.

Created with Rhino7, Revit 2023, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Ilustrator, Enscape, and Climate Consultant 6

Using recycled materials and self-sustaining energy and water services, this urban oasis is designed to be a sustainable, eco-friendly retreat located along the Grand River in Cambridge, Ontario. Site analysis and the climate of the region were carefully considered during the design process. Given the cold climate of Cambridge, design strategies addressing the wetter months were imparative to ensure user comfort.

Seven Sacred Teachings

Originally completed in collaboration with Rona Kong. Graphic style updated by author since project completion.

Created with Rhino7, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Ilustrator, and Enscape. Sketches scanned and refined in Adobe Illustrator.

Spanning Calgary’s newly developed Ring Road, this 183m bridge that offers its users views to the Rocky Mountains and city skyline, acting as a space of meaningful gathering, storytelling, and education as one transitions from a residential community to Indigenous land. The seven vertical rings encircling the bridge not only encaptures the name of its surroundings, but it also reflects the Indigenous circular way of life. The Circular gathering area in the center of the bridge and the quadrant bench placement subtly alludes to the medicine wheel and its inherent seven teachings of harmony. A red, eagle feather inspired guardrail was designed to represent and acknowledge the symbolism of the color and object. Red represents energy, blood, fire, and the missing and murdered Indigenous women and the eagle feather as one of the most sacred objects in Indigenous culture. It also symbolizes a step forward in the ongoing Reconciliation.
