I am passionate about creating spaces that blend functionality with aesthetic appeal, I am now excited to contribute to innovative projects that push the boundaries of design and shape the built environment. The beauty in architecture and developing projects is a prestigious feeling that any award could never replicate.

The Pioneer Residency, situated along Queen’s Quay and Merchant’s Wharf in Toronto, sets a benchmark for the future of sustainable residential design. It integrates modern design with locally sourced sustainable materials including reclaimed wood, recycled metals, and local concrete. Spray insulation enhances energy efficiency by reducing heat loss, and CLT columns for a more sustainable framework. Solar panels provide for a portion of energy while prioritizing energy and water efficient fixtures. This design emphasizes accessibility to transit, natural lighting, and quality views of Lake Ontario creating a comfortable, environmentally conscious living space.

Residential Retrofit Winter 2023

Professor: Steffanie Adams

Collaborators: Anthony Pignatelli

Ms. Oldenburg, 72, owns a large house that is no longer suitable for her and she wants to move in her friend Mr. Shofield, 75. However, their lifestyle needs require significant renovations. They aim to maintain independence while coordinating healthcare and social services. This proposed retrofit follows a contemporary modern design. The new layout enhances circulation and movement, both horizontally and vertically to improve accessibility and mobility, allowing occupants to reach their necessities more easily while providing individual spaces for their own privacy. The second-floor rental space provides visitors with their own area, while still maintaining ample room for the residents’ needs.
