REFRAMING LANEWAYS
Project Type: Academic
Course: Advanced Architecture Studio [4th Year]
Authorship: Group Work
Climate: Humid Continental Climate [Toronto, ON]
Design Role: Unit and Facade Design
Digital Tools: Revit, Twinmotion, Illustrator, Photoshop
This project aims to address ‘the missing middle’ that is currently found in Toronto’s housing market. 34 units have been tailored to provide housing for students, while also fostering a daycare on the first floor. The building also promotes sustainable design through the use of photo voltaics, a ground source heat pump, and CLT design.

02 REDESIGNING DUFFERIN COLLEGIATE
Project Type: Academic
Course: Integration Studio II [3rd Year]
Authorship: Group Work
Climate: Humid Continental Climate [Toronto, ON]
Design Role: Space Planning and Facade Design
Digital Tools: Revit, AutoCAD, Twinmotion, Photoshop
The project redesigns the existing Toronto Dufferin Collegiate highschool. Through incorporating arches, all corridors are designed as arcades, breaking away from conventional boxy corridors engaging visual appeal. An exterior louver system is strategically rotated to form a dynamic pattern of arches along the façade. The school is organized along a linear axis, with arts programs situated at the southern end and essential classes at the northern end. On the first floor, an art gallery doubles as a vibrant community space, fostering a sense of connection to the Dufferin Community.

This Multi-Unit Residential Building (MURB) incorporates ‘the Low TEDI approach’ using multiple sustainable technologies to power the building through an aestetically pleasing way. Technologies used include CLT, high preformance windows, and a ground source heat pump. Triangular steel plates have been bolted onto the structure forming light shelves, trusses to support photovoltaics, as well as balconies.

REENGAGING THE COMMUNITY
Project Type: Academic
Course: Design Studio II [2nd Year]
Authorship: Individual
Climate: Humid Continental Climate [Toronto, ON]
Digital Tools: Rhino, AutoCAD, Twinmotion, Photoshop, Illustrator
The skatepark is designed along a linear axis, with the west end dedicated to street skating within a sheltered space, while the east end caters to bowl skating under the open sky. This dual-environment setup infuses the park with a sense of adventure and dynamism as skaters move from one section to the other. Upon entering, skaters encounter smaller features that act as a threshold, setting the stage for the larger experiences that awaits them.
