Off the coast of downtown Toronto sits the Tommy Thompson Park, a nature preserve grown from a man-made peninsula containing the rubble of old Toronto. Crow’s Nest resides along the main trail of the park, bridging the natural environment with the adjacent urban landscape of Toronto. Near a number of Marinas, the area sees a lots of leisure boats, in response the bridge raises itself to allow boats through while mimicing the form of a sailboat. The centre of the bridge going on to take the form, and function, of a crow’s nest. This central lookout, complimented by the bridges open design, allows for a 360 degrees views. This too, serves the users of the park well, as it is frequented by birdwatchers and other wildlife enthusiasts, giving them a convenient crossing while maintaining their visual liberty.

Project Description:
The Plants and Pebbles home offers an environment filled with light and open space to the accompanying botanist and geologist. The space is broadened by windows that create appealing and comfortable environements to complete research in a healthy mindset. Being surrounded by the greenhouse and exterior landscaping reduces stress and improves their attention whilst completing work. This effect extends to the surrounding community by the greatened relationship with nature stemming from the properties naturalistic frontage, the residents occupation, and the wildlife attracted to the site. The home also features a pond that conveys an audible connection to nature and offers serenity to the occupants. The calm and peaceful spaces, as well as their connection with nature, affect mental restoration and improve mental and physcial well being. Living in a home with nature all around evokes the feeling of being submerged in a private oasis.
