SUMMER

Hello there,

I am a third year Architectural Engineering student at the University of Waterloo.

I love to doodle, take cold showers, read, and think about Architecture!

I have loved buildings ever since I was a boy, and to this day, I still look up to admire the tall buildings.

Now, I am working to expand my knowledge on what happens within those tall buildings. I thrive to become a Full-Stack Architect, someone who can seamlessly unite Architecture, Building Science, Structural Engineering and Real Estate Development!

This portfolio is a testament to my contiunously evolving projects, knowledge and skills.

I hope you enjoy.

PHOENIX TINY LIBRARY

2B Studio Final Project

Location: Phoenix, Arizona

Collaborators: LeAnne Kinlin, Ocean Laidman, Diana Nguyen

Softwares: Revit, D5 Render, Climate Consultant 6.0

A tiny library project has been commissioned by the City of Pheonix, Arizona in hopes to plant multiple hubs of information and technology, and to allow for better access to learning for the general public. As such, the top priorities of the PTL project was to create a build form that is replicable, easy to construct and has a high energy efficiency to combat Phoenix’s hot climate. Many environmental, construction and mechanical solutions are introduced to maximize occupant comfort while minimizing the energy consumption of the building. Most notably, the tiny library optimizes shading to limit direct sunlight and maximizes diffuse light. In doing so, the building simultaneously creates a welcoming environment, but also minimizes unwanted solar gains in this hot climate.

ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGIES

PASSIVE + ACTIVE

COOL ROOF

EPDM cool roof provided to combat solar radiation with reflective coating.

LED LIGHTING

Higher efficiency LED lighting provided to minimize internal heat gains.

INSULATION & AIR SEAL

Superior insulation values and air-tight enveloppe used to fight against Phoenix hot and dry climate.

HIGH EFFICIENCY HVAC

Air-source heat pump minimizes energy consumption & achieves quicker temperature control.

CROSS & STACK VENTILATION

Operable clerestory windows for natural ventilation. Mechanical louvres and temperature sensors allow for night flushing and cross-ventilation.

PHOTOVOLTAIC PANELS

SHADED WINDOWS

Larger shaded glazing units for view can be provided while mitigating large amounts of heat loss due to complete shading.

Provides green energy to the building and achieves close to net-zero energy rating.

CLERESTORY

INTERMEDIATE TEMPERATURE ZONE

The main design feature of the building is the indoor-outdoor space along the entire building perimeter. This space acts as an intermediate climate zone and shades both the windows and the walls. Since the climate in Phoenix is hot and dry, heat is not retained in the air via humidity but is heated by the sun. As such, shading both the walls and windows can dramatically decrease the air temperature in direct contact with the enveloppe. This leads to less heat loss and a lower dependance on the HVAC system. All leading to a more efficient building!!!!

These daylighting windows are used

CLERESTORY WINDOWS

windows are used only for the purpose of daylighting and ventilation. These smaller overhead windows provide natural sunlight while lower windows used for view.

SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS

A timber superstructure and wood accent exteriors are proposed for its sustainability and low life cycle costs. Wood is also nonconductive to heat.

Development Case Study

Location: Toronto, ON

Softwares: Revit, D5 Render, Project Libre, Illustrator, Photoshop

Located in Scarborough, this wood framed custom home was designed to suit a 3 generational family with rooms for the grandparents, parents and 4 children. This home serves as a social space with open concept layouts to allow mingling between generations, and extra room to accommadate many visitors. The overall design focuses on balance between connection and seclusion, with a ground floor layout that firstly welcomes visitors with separate dining and seating areas, transitioning to private family areas as you walk through the home.

UW EV1 RECLAD

2A Studio Final Project

Location: Waterloo, Ontario

Collaborators: Diana Nguyen, Timothy Tanuwidjaja, Ahmed Rosli

Softwares: Revit, AutoCAD, D5 Render

As structures start to age, the building enveloppe degrade, and with older windows and heating systems, it starts to become less energy efficient. Instead of demolishing these old buildings, it is more sustainable to retrofit them. This projects aimed to do just that, to give the University of Waterloo Environment 1 building, built in 1970, new life through a recladding of its exterior enveloppe. With R-30 insulation, high-efficiency windows, modular shading devices and a pre-fabricated steel stud wall system, this project provides a fast and sustainable solution to aging buildings!!

WINDRUSH WEDDINGS

Professional Works | Summer 2023

Location: County of Simcoe, GTA

Company: COmanage Ltd.

Software: Bluebeam

This proposed outdoor wedding venue will be located over an old winery, with lots of room for guests to celebrate, walk around and be surrounded by nature. The goal of this concept is to give guests a sense of awe and enthusiasm as they drive into the site, towards the wedding area. With large differences of elevations, this site gives much opprtunity for outdoor activities in the winter and careful layout of the wedding area invites the guests in to celebrate wedding season!! This concept plan was submitted for a Pre-Consultation Meeting with Township staff and has been accepted to move onto the design phase.
