Junction Housing
The design aims to create an adaptable building for subsidized family and single housing. Based on site analysis and research where most of the local population reported earning under the city’s median income, Junction Housing is intended to offer comfortable living spaces for young parents through subsidized units. To foster a sense of community and support a co-living lifestyle, the building is separated in two masses, connected by a large “glass box” in the middle, which allows both the subsidized and apartment housing to be connected, allowing those in the subsidized housing to feel as though they are part of a larger community, not excluded.
La conception vise à créer un bâtiment adaptable pour des logements de familles et individuels subventionnés. Junction Housing a pour but d’offrir des espaces de vie confortables aux jeunes parents célibataires grâce à des logements subventionnés. Pour favoriser le sens de la communauté et soutenir un mode de vie commun, nous avons incorporé des caractéristiques telles que des zones de rassemblement social dans l’ensemble du bâtiment et des connexions visuelles entre les bâtiments pour améliorer l’expérience commune.

The standard family unit above is designed to maximise natural daylight and heating while minimizing reliance on HVAC systems to combat winter’s cold. By incorporating high-efficiency appliances and an ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilation) system, the design not only conserves energy in heating and cooling but also reduces energy bills and improves indoor air quality. The proposed site features a small brick house from the early 1960s, currently operating as a restaurant. Since this is one of the few remaining original homes on the now-commercialized street, the new complex is designed to wrap around the existing building. Rather than demolishing it, the design integrates the restaurant’s outdoor space with the new complex’s patio area.
L’unité familiale standard est conçue pour maximiser la lumière naturelle et le chauffage tout en minimisant la dépendance aux systèmes artificielle pour combattre le froid de l’hiver. En incorporant des appareils à haut rendement, la conception permet non seulement de conserver l’énergie pour le chauffage et la climatisation, mais aussi de réduire les factures d’énergie et d’améliorer la qualité de l’air à l’intérieur. Le site proposé comprend une petite maison en briques datant du début des années 1960, qui sert actuellement de restaurant. Plutôt que de le démolir, le projet intègre l’espace extérieur du restaurant à la terrasse du nouveau complexe.

Inhabitable Wall
This project is a retelling of the indigenous Ojibwe legend of “How the Birch Tree got its Burns”. By casting concrete with local birch bark, we were able to create natural imprints and cutouts within the slab of concrete. The birch bark effectively molded the wall, integrating into its structure in a manner reminiscent of how Indigenous culture is interwoven with contemporary life. Our interpretation includes a family playing in this “Inhabitable Wall” as if they are Wanaboozhoo, the legend in the story, hiding from the Thunderbird.
Ce petit mur est une reprise de la légende Ojibwé nommée “Comment le bouleau a obtenu ses rayures”. En enveloppant le béton avec l’écorce, nous avons pu créer des empreintes comme un timbre du bouleau sur le bloc de béton. L’écorce de bouleau a effectivement moulé le mur, s’intégrant à sa structure représentant la façon dont la culture aboriginale est aux racines de la vie contemporaine. Notre interprétation comprend une famille jouant dans ce “mur habitable” comme s’ils étaient Wanaboozhoo, la légende de l’histoire, se cachant du Thunderbird.

Éponge
The objective of this project was to design and construct a structure to be installed along a local skating path. The conceptual inspiration for this design was drawn from the form and function of a sponge (éponge), which provided insights into creating curvilinear shapes while ensuring a comfortable seating experience for users. This led to the development of a 2x2 stud framework, which was installed on a frozen lake during the winter months, offering a unique and functional amenity for the community.
L’objectif de ce projet était de concevoir et de construire une structure destinée à être installée le long d’une piste de patinage locale. L’inspiration a été tirée d’une éponge, ce qui a permis de créer des formes curvilignes tout en assurant une assise confortable pour les patineurs. Cela a conduit à la construction d’une structure de bois, qui a été installée sur un lac gelé pendant l’hiver, pour les membres de la communauté.
The ice structures are crafted from recycled wood—2x2s, 2x4s, and 2x6s sourced from construction sites and depots around the city. Designed for community use, whether for resting, putting on skates, or simply enjoying the view, we aimed for the wooden structure to comfortably fit people’s bodies. To achieve this, we considered various bends and curves the ice structure could take, and together, we decided on an asymmetric, curvilinear shape that complements both form and function.
Les structures de glace sont fabriquées à partir de bois recyclé provenant de sites de construction et de dépôts de la ville. Conçues pour être utilisées par la communauté, que ce soit pour se reposer, chausser des patins ou simplement profiter de la vue, nous avons cherché à ce que la structure en bois s’adapte confortablement au corps des gens. Pour y parvenir, nous avons envisagé les différentes courbes que la structure de glace pourrait prendre et, ensemble, nous avons opté pour une forme asymétrique et curviligne qui complète à la fois la forme et la fonction.

04 Downtown
This was an in depth analysis of the housing typologies found around the Downtown Sudbury area.
To the right are drawings contributed showcasing the various textures, shapes and livelihoods of the selected “rough” neighbourhoods in Downtown Sudbury. The analysis was done through walking, observing, drawing & speculating in the proposed sites.
Il s’agissait d’une analyse approfondie des typologies de logements que l’on trouve dans le centre-ville de Sudbury. Vous trouverez ci-dessous les dessins que j’ai réalisés pour illustrer les différentes textures, formes et vie quotidienne de certains quartiers “bruts“ du centre-ville de Sudbury. L’analyse s’est faite en marchant, en observant, en dessinant et en spéculant sur les sites proposés.
05 Rain House
This was the first studio subject for the Masters of Architecture course at the University of Sydney. The brief was to Design a “Huge House” intended to house 300 Aboriginal students of the University. The most important aspects of the design were developed with ideas surrounding building with country. Rainhouse draws inspiration from water, a significant ancestor of Gadigal land. It’s roof structure is an expression of how the building catches water and dispells it to the ground; a landscape dotted with Cadi, meaning grass tree. The water path is visible with sound and sight, from catchment to disposal.
Il s’agissait du premier sujet d’atelier pour le cours de maîtrise en architecture de l’Université de Sydney. Il s’agissait de concevoir une “Huge House” destinée à accueillir 300 étudiants aborigènes de l’université. Rain House s’inspire de l’eau, un ancêtre important de la terre aboriginale de Gadigal. La structure du toit exprime la façon dont le bâtiment capte l’eau et la rejette au sol, dans un paysage parsemé de Cadi, qui signifie arbre à herbe. Le chemin de l’eau est visible par le son et la vue, du captage à l’évacuation. Cela évoque un lien avec le pays sur lequel nous nous trouvons.
ELEVATION 1/250
TYPICAL PLAN1/250
The typical floor plate is organised by 3 main blocks consisting of 2 slightly differing typologies. It steps down the site, resting on a podium that covers the ground floor, and uses axial shifts to define the communal spaces for each level. The corridor is imagined as a highly active and vibrant collective terrace that connects to the shared spaces of units. The blocks alternate along the corridor, which give these zones a different feel. Cross throughs for light and sight are achieved to break the facade and enhance natural ventilation, The corridors become an open ‘breezeway’ making it a suitable space for dwelling and contemplation. A rigid form with moments of relaxation.
La surface de plancher typique est organisée en trois blocs principaux composés de deux typologies légèrement différentes. Le corridor est imaginé comme une terrasse collective active et vibrante qui se connecte aux espaces partagés des unités. Les blocs alternent le long du corridor, ce qui donne à ces zones une sensation différente. Des passages pour la lumière et la vue sont réalisés pour briser la façade et améliorer la ventilation naturelle. Les couloirs sont en plein air, ce qui en fait un espace propice à l’habitation et à la contemplation.
