Le Barrage Ecology centre
A building that functions as a dam, dividing calm and energetic activities The Laurentian Lake dam is a critical control point for water flow on this site. Inspired by its principles, the building divides the causeway into two zones: an energetic zone facing the lake and a calm zone overlooking the marsh. A transitional platform, along with slowing ramps, facilitates a smooth shift between these areas, creating a distinctive architectural journey with a sense of compression and decompression. Materials play a crucial role, utilizing concrete on the energetic side for density and wood on the calm side for lightness. This intentional contrast extends to the use of opacity and transparency, with fewer windows on the energetic side and abundant natural light on the calm side. This design philosophy continues to the exterior, where a concrete wall visually separates the two zones, connecting to the previous nature cabin. The result is a harmonious integration of dynamic and tranquil elements, offering a seamless transition between the vibrant energy of the lake and the serene calm of the marsh.

L’Éducation Sans Frontières Early learning centre
A boundary-defying facility, Incorporating key exterior elements within its interior My concept for this children's education center, revolves around understanding the routes taken by children to get to school. The key elements of these journeys are then incorporated inside the building to excentuate this school with no border narrative. Upon arrival, children must choose between the energetic side, where the playrooms are located, and the calm side, with dining and nap rooms. Each of these corridors integrates key elements from each of these routes; the calm corridor incorporates wood, library shelves, seats, and plenty of windows, encouraging reading with a view of nature to promote a sense of calm. In contrast, the energetic corridor offers vibrant colors, a train track on the floor leading to monkey bars, and a ramp that rises to a large window, resembling a bridge over the playground.

Le Lieu de Sérénité Community Sauna
Une Évasion du Stress de la Réalité When studying at Laurentian University, stress is inevitable for academic success. The school environment contributes to stress through various factors such as projects, assignments, and presentations with deadlines. The introduction of a communal sauna, located directly on the campus of Laurentian University, will allow students and community members to reduce stress. The sauna will be built next to Bennett Lake, creating distance between the main campus and the sauna. This will enable students to take a nature walk before reaching their destination, allowing them to unwind and alleviate tension and fatigue. The sauna will be a place of relaxation, calm, and serenity. It will differ from the campus in terms of construction materials to avoid association with academic spaces. Upon completing the sauna experience, occupants can return via a second forest trail to completely immerse themselves in a sense of tranquility away from others arriving. This experience will be positive and beneficial for both students and community members alike.

Ecomod Wood joinery construction
Ecological + modular Crafted through a collective team effort, this eco-friendly planters table is exclusively constructed using wood joinery methods, emphasizing sustainability and environmental consciousness. Designed with modularity in mind, the table can be effortlessly dismantled, offering versatility for easy relocation or convenient storage when not in use. The top of the table showcases a thoughtful touch, an arrangement of round bars. This design allows soil to seamlessly fall through when the table is used as a dedicated planting space. To adapt to diverse needs, the same top can be covered with an array of wooden pieces, seamlessly transitioning the table into a surface suitable for various activities such as dining or socializing. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this planters table represents a commitment to both form and function. It embodies the principles of sustainability, adaptability, and craftsmanship, making it a standout addition to any space.
