Dear Open Practice Team,
I hope you are all well. My name is Jaya Kyne, and I am writing to express my strong interest in your firm, and to inquire about any Intern Architect opportunities at your office. I am drawn to your firm’s dedication to architecture that is both sustainable and finely attuned to cultural and environmental contexts. I admire how you adeptly transform constraints whether they arise from regulations, site conditions, or client needs into opportunities for holistic and innovative solutions This approach not only fosters innovation but also creates spaces that are truly responsive and regenerative.
The Cove Road Residence exemplifies this approach, achieving the client’s vision of treetop views while still meeting height restrictions showcasing how limitations can cultivate innovation. This kind of thoughtful, context-sensitive design is what excites me most about your work. The opportunity to work in an environment that prioritizes such an approach would be invaluable and something I can take with me as I advance through my professional career.
What further attracts me to Open Practice is your regional focus and collaborative approach with local professionals and communities. I believe that architecture truly resonates with and benefits the local community when it is developed through open dialogue and multidisciplinary collaboration. Through my voluntary charity work as an architectural building advisor, I learned thoughtful design not only addresses immediate community needs, but also contributes to a broader social context, creating meaningful cultural impacts on both local and global scales.
I hold an ARB-accredited degree in Architecture from Northumbria University, where I cofounded the Northumbria University Climate Action Network (NUCAN). My academic background in philosophy, photography, and design has provided me with a strong foundatio n in critical thinking, composition, and problem-solving, which I apply to all my work, in particular, model-making and conceptual design.
I am proficient in Revit, AutoCAD, SketchUp, Adobe Suite, 3D rendering software, and hand drawing, enabling me to contribute effectively to both design and documentation processes. I am a fast learner, eager to take on new challenges, and enthusiastic about growing both professionally and personally in a collaborative and innovative environment like Open Practice.
I am excited about the possibility of joining your Charlottetown office and contributing to projects that prioritize sustainability and community-focused design. Thank you for considering my application. I would love the opportunity to discuss how my skills, passion, and philosophy align with the values of Open Practice.
Best regards, Jaya
Kyne
