SAUNA 2021 - Second Year

Bennett Lake, Sudbury, ON

Saunas offer a unique connection to the soul, forest, nature and freedom. Saunas have been long associated with promoting both physical and mental wellness, serving as a space for people to escape from the daily hustle and quiet their mind. Immerse yourself in a space surrounded by natural materials such as wood, stones and water, and let the warmth of the sauna embrace you like a warm hug from mother nature. The forest and nature serve as an inspiration for many sauna designs, reminding us of our roots and the simplicity of life. The sauna provides a sense of freedom, a place to disconnect from the demands of daily life and just be.

The two glasses are occupied with low emissive glazing and it helps to cut heat from the building in the summer and reatains the heat in the winter.

The section demonstrates how the cross ventilation strategy works during summer time. The structure includes the windows on the south east facade that the prevailing winds entering through, and exits from the entrance that located across the room. This provides more fresh and chilly air conditions, having the hallway and being able to locate the windows and doors helps to keep at comfortable temperature during hot summer days.

EARLY LEARNING CENTER

2022 - Third Year

Designing an early learning center that is lifted from the ground and shaped like a cloud can provide a unique and imaginative space for young children. The elevated design can give a sense of being in the clouds, offering a dream-like atmosphere that is both peaceful and playful. To further enhance the connection to nature, the interior and exterior of the building incorporated with elements such as natural materials, plants, and skylights to bring in natural light. The flow of the space is intuitive, with spacious and open areas that allow for natural movement and exploration. The ambiance that supports learning and relaxation, calming colors, soft lighting, and cozy seating areas are incorporated into the design. With a focus on nature, flow, and ambiance, this elevated and cloud-shaped early learning center can provide an optimal learning environment for young children.
