Status : Completed
Role / Involvement : Detailed Design
The Al Sadd Gold Line Metro Station is a key component of the Doha Metro, designed to embody the seamless fusion of Qatari heritage and modern urban transit. Architecturally, the station draws inspiration from traditional Islamic forms, including arches and geometric patterns, reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. The use of polished stone, reflective metals, and ambient lighting enhances the station’s aesthetic appeal while creating a welcoming atmosphere for passengers. The spatial layout prioritizes intuitive navigation, ensuring smooth passenger flow and accessibility for all.
Arcadis played a crucial role in the development of the Al Sadd Station as part of their consultancy services for the Gold Line. The firm provided detailed architectural designs, branding strategies, and construction support to maintain quality and coherence throughout the project. Arcadis also coordinated MEP, structural, and landscape designs, collaborating closely with contractors to ensure the station’s seamless integration into Doha’s urban landscape.

BELONG - CSC STUDENT DESIGN COMPETITION ENTRY
Location : Calgary, Alberta
Year : 2024
Project Type : Office - Residential Conversion
Competition : CSC Design Competition
Status : Completed
The CSC Ignite Student Design Competition challenges students to develop innovative, practical design solutions for real-world architectural problems. In 2024, our team was proud to secure Second Place and the People’s Choice Award for our design concept, which focused on converting two underutilized office towers (Towers 839 and 840) in downtown Calgary into affordable, sustainable student housing.
Our design approach preserved the buildings’ exterior precast walls, maintaining the structure’s architectural integrity while focusing on creating vibrant, functional spaces tailored to student needs. The main floor was reimagined as a lively street market and social hub, featuring communal areas, vendor spaces, and interactive student workspaces. Residential floors, from the second to the eighth, were designed to accommodate fully furnished suites that included in-suite washers and dryers, optimizing space for comfort and functionality.
The project addressed Calgary’s pressing housing affordability crisis, offering an accessible living solution for students while also contributing to the revitalization of the downtown core.

Status : Completed
Instructors : Bill Stang | Lisa Der-Jameson
This bungalow project, designed for a young family with two children, is a thoughtfully crafted single-story residence emphasizing privacy, natural light, and functionality. Built primarily with timber, the home incorporates essential living spaces along with a dedicated office to accommodate the owners’ hybrid work lifestyle. Recognizing the importance of privacy, the design features small perimeter windows while strategically including a courtyard that floods the interior with natural light without compromising seclusion.
To enhance the sense of space within the compact layout, the house is equipped with clerestory windows and high ceilings, allowing light to penetrate deeply into the living areas while creating an airy and open atmosphere. The courtyard, complemented by timber louvers, serves as both a light well and a private outdoor retreat, reinforcing the theme of privacy while maintaining a connection to nature. The project reflects a balance of practicality and elegance, designed to meet the dynamic needs of a growing family.

HILLHURST
Location : Calgary, Alberta
Year : 2024
Project Type : Mixed-Use Building
School : Southern Alberta Institute of Technology
Status : Completed
Instructors : Marc Bussiere | Chris Lavallee
For my second semester project, I designed a three-storey mixed-use building in a CN-1 zoned area, with two commercial units on the ground floor and eight studio-type residential units on the upper floors. The design specifically caters to students, especially international students, due to the building’s proximity to local universities and colleges.
The building’s aesthetic features perforated metal panels as a focal point, offering a modern look while allowing natural light and ventilation. Timber is used throughout to create a warm and sustainable atmosphere, balancing contemporary design with eco-friendly materials.
This project allowed me to gain valuable experience in integrating building codes, producing technical drawings, and addressing different design phases. From initial concepts to detailed renderings, I developed my skills in architectural design, spatial planning, and technical documentation, ensuring the final design meets both functional and aesthetic needs.
Basic Volume:
The building’s fundamental massing creates a harmonious integration with its site. This design emphasizes volumetric configuration and spatial relationships, enhancing the surrounding context.
Axis / Conncection
The site is located along 19th Street, just a few minutes’ walk from the Kensington Avenue. Recognizing Kensington Avenue as a busy street infuences the design considerations of the project.
Sun Path / Wind Direction / Noise
The site is facing west where the sun sets and needs to considered in providing design elements as west facing buildings tend to get hotter during summer months.
