DEJANA NESOVIC SELECTED ARCHITECTURAL WORK

ABOUT ME My name is Dejana Nesovic. I am an undergraduate student at Toronto Metropolitan University’s Architectural Program.

I pride myself on being detail-oriented, a quality that is consistently reflected in my work. Yet, I possess the ability to grasp the broader perspective, a strength that enables me to create distinctive outcomes and understand how diverse elements come together to form a complete picture.

Exploring the human experience and scale is an area I am eager to delve into both in my academic pursuits and to further develop this interest in a professional setting.

VERTICAL CITY Location: Stanley Park. Walnut Ave Typology: Co-op Midrise Programs: Rhino , Enscape, Illustrator, Photoshop This project’s goal was to redefine the concept of cooperative housing and community programs. Altering the way people view housing and trying to close the gap. Living in a city means living with other people Therefore the program is focused on welcoming and inclusive spaces with units that bring the idea of flexibility. The vision focuses on the strong connection between the project and the city and the potential to cultivate this connection in a way where the inhabitants and the city benefit from each other.

TRANSVERSE Group design Build in collaboration with Manuel Ortega Santo, Fatema Masuma and Tiffany Chui.
