OTTAWA HOSPITAL WELCOME CENTRE Type: University Project Project Name: The Orb Welcome Centre Location: Carling Avenue, Ottawa Year: Winter 2021 Partner in charge: Clarisse Miranda & Salome Teran Description The Orb is a welcome centre designed for the New Ottawa Hospital located in Carling Avenue near Dowe’s Lake. The design was based on a biophilic design concept having characteristics curves, organic materials, and vegetations that creates wonderful spaces for people to unwind, relax, reflect, enjoy, heal and be one with nature.

the center point of each referenced circles. Center of the two buildings is the welcome center accessible roof. Added two bridges to connect the building without blocking the light to the roof.
The New Hospital is two stepped buildings having a Welcome Centre placed in between these two structures. The Welcome Centre is the fundamental social space in the hospital having a floor and an accessible green roof. The space is housing two waiting rooms at the entrance and at the center, a volunteer desk with a virtual kiosk for information, a daycare room for kids, learning areas and family training rooms, retail shops and pharmacy for souvenirs, gifts, and medicines, and a grand cafeteria for food. There is also a Non-Denominational Chapel for people who want a peaceful environment at the center of the roof. The two buildings are identical in terms of structural features. Both have curved form that hugs the Welcome Centre. However, these two have a different number of storey due to design purposes. The big building has 16 levels and the small is a 12 storey building. The big building serves in-patient services, the latter function as the out-patient services. Two external bridges are located at the opposite ends of the eighth level to connect the two structures.

SKETCH PLAN OF THE GARDEN AISLE
-The Engineered Hardwood Structure is located on each side of the roof, acting as a structural component that binds the three divisions: In-patient, Welcoming Centre, and Out-patient building. These wooden structures also add to the aesthetic components of the roof design as well as the health benefits, being made of wood. It has been scientifically proven that organic material such as wood can improve people’s health recovery. -The Garden Aisles are essentially corridors surrounded by different medicinal plants that bring calmness and peacefulness to whoever walks into these spaces. These corridors are made to be educational by exposing different medicinal plants which are locally grown in Canada. -The Translucent Skylight has a unique shape and function. This skylight incorporates an eye shape and is well designed to accommodate huge loads that allow people to walk right through it. -The Non-Denominational Chapel serves as one of our main focal points in the Welcome Centre. This structure has a double skin and a double-dome roof. The outer wall made of glass serves as a buffer for outdoor noises, whereas the opaque inner wall supports the glass dome. The inner dome functioned as a shading device to block the sun’s rays. -The Amphitheatre is a gathering space designed with stepped seatings and a shading device that integrates vines. -The Circular Skylights are added to bring more natural light into the Welcome Centre. These glass roofs are surrounded by planters and are projecting daylight into the entrance waiting for the area and the cafeteria while decreasing energy consumption in terms of light supply.

PATIENT ROOM
The patient room was design based on the need of offering a natural view and light. There are two different designs for the patient room. The first design consisted of having an enclosed balcony to be used as a family room. Members of the family could use the space to stay with the patient if needed. Furthermore, it could also be a solarium for the patient to improve their health. The design has a green operable shading door that integrates plants into the room and it is a solution for solar heat. The screen shading door has a specific design that is compatible with the green aisle shading of the roof. The second proposed design is a smaller room that has a wood shading folding door to minimize the solar heat as well. Both rooms have exterior planters with vegetation and glass walls to maximize natural light and natural views. The interior of the patient rooms has a wood finish for the wall and the ceiling, and the wood finish could be mock wood for better efficacity.

HOUSING PROJECT Type: University Project Project Name: Uprise Housing Location: Fisher Ave. & Meadowlands, Ottawa Year: Fall 2020 Partner in charge: Clarisse Miranda & Salome Teran Description The Housing Project consisted of working with partners to redesign a site located at the northwest corner of Fisher Avenue and Meadowlands Drive in Ottawa. The design of this project needed to expand housing with multiple amenities for the community and have a total of 1,200 residential units.
Upon analyzing the site, the lot was divided into multiple sections by creating a street through the middle and the existing streets of Ness and Hogan were expanded to act as the main entrances into the existing site. In addition, huge pedestrian pathways with temporary and permanent seatings were created to connect Steve Maclean Park and the site, as well as providing an inviting place to walk and sit.

SITE ANALYSIS
H FIS
The design concept is that of a “Dragon Tail”, which involves a point tower facing towards Fisher and stepped buildings that decrease in height moving westward. The buildings wrapping around the existing site create a courtyard in the middle, which consisted of a playground, a community garden, and gathering areas for the residents. The design is a pedestrian and environmentally friendly project where walkways and vegetation were incorporated everywhere in the site, from the courtyard park to the roofs of the housing buildings. The goal of this project is to create an affordable, comfortable, safe, and green environment for the community where they can enjoy and feel at home.
SITE PLAN
CIRCULATION The two cuts at the center are pedestrian pathways to connect the site with the park. The cuts at the sides are two main entrance from Meadowland extending the existing streets.
HEIGHT Divided into small blocks for building form, and arrows represent the reduction and the addition of heights. Heights were adjusted based on sun orientation and potential view of the surrounding. Green courtyard were created at the center. BUILDING DESIGN The buildings were created with a design: geometrical blocks merge together to form a stepped massing. The flow between these buildings creates the “dragon tail” concept of the whole design.
PARK SIGHT BUILDING
The Park Sight building is a 10 storey building with an accessible roof and underground parking. The building is a stepped structure with series of rectilinear forms interlocking together. The design is made with simple floor plans having one-room units to four-room units. The materials used are concrete, white panel cladding, wood louvers for shading, and glass to allow tons of light into the units. The goal of the building design is to complement the whole design concept of the housing project while giving a simple, affordable, and comfortable home for the community.

CONSERVATION PROJECT Type: University Project Project Name: Spiral Evolution Year: Winter 2020 Location: 24 Sussex, Ottawa Partner in charge: Clarisse Miranda Description This is a conservation project addressing the main problem of 24 Sussex which is to create a suitable official residence of the Prime Minister of Canada that will reflect Canadian values and culture as a national exemplary. Also, it is to create a comfortable space that showcases Canadian sustainable strategies while respecting and protecting the heritage value of the site. The Spiral Evolution is a main addition of the Private residence, where negotiation, events, and office of the Prime Minister take place. The evolution represents the history of the site from the Indigenous to the present and future. The spiral ramp symbolizes the path of a journey to lead the people of Canada to a better future. Canada is represented in the building’s choice of materials and design elements. The abundant green space is reflected in the building’s green roof and the mixture of trees surrounding the site. Local materials such as birch, oak, and limestones are chosen to reveal the natural resources of the country.

OTTAWA HOSPITAL WELCOME CENTRE Type: University Project Project Name: The Balance: A New Convocation Hall Location: Saint-Paul University, Ottawa Year: Fall 2020 Partner in charge: Clarisse Miranda, Karli Bijakowski & Mélina Grandmont Description The Balance is a proposed convocation hall design addition for Saint-Paul University. The addition is located at the North end of campus, attaching to the North wing of Guigues building and creating a linear massing along Hazel street. To respect the existing structures and history of the site, the massing of the addition on the Main street façade aligns with the protrusion of Laframboise. The massing ends along Hazel, in line with the central wing of Guigues. The linearity and balance of the site were continued in our massing and forms, specifically with respect to the alignment of our addition’s height with those of existing buildings and the continued use of block geometry. The programs of the addition, namely the gymnasium, convocation, retail, and social spaces, aim to create a greater connection between the students and the university culture, as well as between the community and the school.

TINY HOUSE PROJECT
WOOD STRUCTURAL FRAMING
Type: University Project Project Name: Tiny Home Location: Lanark Avenue & Atlantis Avenue, Ottawa Year: Winter 2018 Partner in charge: Clarisse Miranda, Alexandra LeBaron & Grace Nie Description The inspiration behind the tiny house design is to be minimalist and to be sustainable while maximizing energy efficiency, space, and comfort. The tiny home is designed with a total liveable area of 400 ft2, and a capacity of two people. Located in Ottawa, the tiny house was influenced by the traditional Canadian cottage with a modern twist. Due to Canada’s challenging climate, the design is focused on appropriate materials used and effective energy used. Mixing rustic and modern elements to complement each other and work together while remaining efficient is a goal for the project. The tiny home will focus on using passive energy, solar photovoltaic cells, and rainwater collection to minimize reliance on water sources and non-renewable energy sources. SITE PLAN
