SIMBANDI CHILDREN’S HOUSE

| COMPETITION ENTRY / 2022

The Simbandi Children’s House nestles into the Senegalese landscape, providing interactive spaces and programming to promote food security and wellness for the local children. The design carefully establishes a relationship with the site, visually reflecting the palette of natural features and materials that define the environment around it.

DISJOIN.

A rectangular massing is disjoined at the centre to create two distinct programmatic areas.

BISECT.

Courtyard walls bisect the educational programming spaces to create flexible outdoor areas.

ELEVATE.

The roof plane is elevated above the main walls, creating a ventilated indoor climate.

1. Central Foyer + Well

2. Flexible Education Space

3. Outdoor Education Space 4. Courtyard 5.

A monolithic form of laterite earth rests upon the ground, with intermittent wooden screens which invite users into the space within. The central entrance opens to a foyer with a well which acts to benefit the entire community, and welcomes all members of the area to participate in the function of this building . The foyer acts as a threshold between programming, dividing the private family spaces from the more public interactive learning spaces.

above | Rear Entry Perspective below | Building Section

The private spaces are tucked away from public view, with only small and controlled openings for light. On the opposite side of the foyer lies the interactive education space. This space is intersected with gently curved walls which provide protected outdoor courtyards . These courtyards act as gardens which are utilized as interactive agricultural education spaces. These spaces provide a practical and safe environment for children of all ages to learn and experience local agricultural practices first hand. Pivoting doors provide seamless integration to the outdoor education space, providing flexibility in the use of the surrounding site.

below | Process Sketches

The interjecting courtyard walls create a pocket of defined exterior space which is utilized for agriculture. This acts as an additional source of food for the children who use this space. The function of the entire building is to harmoniously organize the programming into a form which enhances the potential to educate and provide food security to the youth of Simbandi and the surrounding area.

FLAMINGO VISITOR CENTRE

| COMPETITION ENTRY / 2020

The Flamingo Visitor Centre in Abu Dhabi’s Al Wathba Wetland Reserve focuses on bringing visitors closer to nature. The centre integrates a central courtyard with an animal rehabilitation area to provide an up close and personal view.

LINK.

Rooftop viewing platform connects existing paths.

INTEGRATE.

A central courtyard gives visitors a closer look at the wildlife.

PERCEIVE.

The south facade provides views over the wetland.

above | Isometric View below | North Facade

Vertical louvers made of woven palm leaves are angled in order to allow the natural breeze to permeate and cool the interior space. It also blocks the harsh direct sun that is present on the reserve to mitigate solar heat gain within. The louvers are secured in front of the mullions, and the operable windows swing to match the angle of the louvers, allowing the air to flow uninterrupted

The visitor centre creates a lookout platform on the roof to provide panoramic views of the wetland surrounding it. The inention behind the two primary access stairs is to link the platform to the existing pedestrian path, allowing for the centre to serve as a key moment along the path and not just a space marking the start or end.

The central courtyard can be viewed from both inside the centre and from the viewing platform above, creating a level of interaction between the two areas.

BERESFORD LANEWAY SUITE

The extensive system of laneways that wind through Toronto is an underutilized, and untapped source that can be used for gently densifying existing neighbourhoods. The Beresford laneway suite creates a family home that addresses the intricacies and dynamics of living in a laneway. Solutions that address privacy, circulation, light, and landscaping are implemented to create an oasis with a distinct environment- both connected and independent to the laneway.

SHIFT.

Shifting the form to the edge of the site creates a flexible space adjacent to the ground floor.

DIVIDE.

A dividing wall creates privacy between the house and lane, and defines areas for parking and landscaping.

PERMEATE.

The second floor facade allows for light to permeate while maintaining privacy.

1. Entry Hall

below | Isometric View above | Elevation

The vertical louvers are angled to ensure the interior spaces receive an appropriate level of light and privacy, depending on their programmatic function. The sight lines which are created minimize the view to and from the laneway, while maximizing the visual connection to the private rear yard. The sublte shifts in louver direction are completed in 10 degree increments.

GOAHTI REIMAGINED

| COMPETITION ENTRY / 2021

The goal of this remote hotel is to seamlessly integrate the form into the rugged landscape, while respecting and utilising traditional materials and design ideaologies. The built form enhances the natural landscape, while still respecting the existing conditions. The slope of the hill is integrated into the structure, and a continuous path flows uninterrupted through the site of the hotel. The roof of the building acts as a observation deck, providing panoramic views of the surrounding sky and topography. The natural landscape and building work together to create a functional and fluid user experience.

INTEGRATE.

Integrate a continuous path through the built form.

EXTEND.

Extend the hill in key areas to allow for panoramic views of the sky.

OBSERVE.

Create roof portals that allow visitors to view the northern lights.

NIA ARTS CENTRE

| ACADEMIC PROJECT / 2021

The NIA Centre for the Arts aims to embody the cultural and artistic values of Toronto’s Little Jamaica Neighbourhood. Carefully organized outdoor spaces allow for the integration and expansion of the pedestrian streetscape. A dynamic, expressive facade is inspired by local artists and creates a beacon of personality within the community.
