As an architecture student at the University of Waterloo, I am motivated and driven to work hard, contribute, collaborate, and deliver strong and sustained contributions to projects. I have over two years worth of studying different architectural styles and methods, as well as learning technical and design skills.

Located on Sterling St in Toronto, this gallery is dedicated to the history and evolution of sewing machines, as well as what they produced. The exterior is designed with curved contours to mimic the interior overhanging curtain. The space guides visitors through the exhibit into the folds of the curtain that embrace the displays. Towards the back of the building, there classroom and workshop spaces where visitors have the opportunity for hands-on experiences, allowing them to engage directly with the art and craft of sewing.

The Round House
Located in: LaBelle, Florida, United States of America
The Round House is designed as a completely off-grid and net zero carbon emissions house. It is oriented in a direction to allow the sun to enter the skylights from the south indirectly, as they are angled to prevent direct sunlight. A low-energy geothermal heating and cooling system is used in combination with solar panels for the energy and HVAC needs of the building, with a well and septic system for water and plumbing. These four systems allow this house to operate in a very sustainable method. It was also designed with the idea of biomimicry, as the curves of the roof are similar to a snail’s shell, which helps keep it cool due to a reduced surface area for the sun to reach.

LaBelle Climate Threats and
The main climate threats in LaBelle Florida are the rising sea levels, increase in temperature, and destructive storms the body of water will help lower the hot temperatures but is placed uphill and far enough from the bank to prevent strong storms and diverts the wind around the house instead. It is also reinforced with recycled structural steel the roof’s surface area, letting less heat into the building.

The skylight placement allows for direct light to enter the house during the winter months and only diffuse light in the summer, reducing the energy needed for heating and cooling.

Modern Farmhouse Basement
Located in: Low, Quebec, Canada
Skills: Rhino, Enscape, Indesign
This is a project that is currently in the process of being built. It was designed for clients who had a new house built on their farm, but a completely unfinished basement. They were looking for a bedroom space, an office, a bathroom, a furnace and storage room, a tv and playroom for their two daughters, and an entrance space. This layout is the most efficient use of the space that they had while keeping all of their preferences in the design. Enscape allowed them to be able to get an accurate feeling of how their basement will look when it is finished.
The Galvanized Glade
Located in: Spring Bank Park, London, Ontario, Canada
Located in Canada’s Forest City, London Ontario, the Galvanized Glade would not only provide a performance space, but a place for the community to gather in Springbank Park. The potential for this space is endless ranging from local musicians and bands to art shows, business meetings, school field trips, and organized community events. When the amphitheatre is not booked out, people in the community could use the space for recreational activities as the canopy of the shelter extends far past the stage. The Galvanized Glade is designed with the image of a forest to provide a continuous feel from the theatre to the rest of the park.

Galvanized steel will be used for the entire structure due to it’s weather resistant nature. The extensiveness of the forest like structure allows for imperfections in appearance as trees themselves are not uniform.
1. AESS 3 Feature Elements: galvanized 1” steel bolt and nuts with lock washer. The connection is mainly hidden by plants during the warmer months of the year, yet is still in easy eyesight. The steel itself is smooth and well tailored to the joint.
Structural Axonometric
2. AESS 3 Feature Elements: galvanized steel bolt and nuts 3/4” Grade A-325 N. Similar to the lower connection, the upper bolted connection is moderately visible but not a focal point. The joint minimizes gap tolerances for a smooth transition.
3. AESS 4 Showcase Elements: welds on the upper structural system. The upper portion of the structural system is connected via welding. Due to the proximity of view being under six meters, it is quite visible and the connections would benefit from being seamless.

4. AESS 3 Feature Elements: welds on the canopy. The canopy could be welded in a way to hide the seams instead of removing them. However, they should still be smooth as they are in close eyesight of under a meter, and the leaf like shapes are an important focal point.
The Stacked Library
Located in: Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Skills: Rhino, Enscape, Illustrator, Indesign Supervisor: David Correa and Isabel Ochoa Course: Arch 193
Designed to revoke the notion of a traditional library, the Stacked Library introduces a wood workshop as an opportunity for both learning and creativity. It is built with a hierarchy of materials where the first floor is concrete, sitting firmly into the ground and parallel to the surrounding buildings. Due to being primarily glass, the second floor appears to be see-through, creating the illusion of being lighter and unattached. It is also rotated to create both a separation from the first floor and balconies to connect the interior spaces to the exterior. All of these elements are combined to allow the feeling of the floors being stacked on top of each other.

Course: Arch 293 Landscape Design
Located at River Bluffs Park along the Grand River, this project integrates flood management with community engagement. The design is a network of engineered wetlands that create raised islands that absorb and redirect floodwaters, while floating islands anchored with flexible bridges continue the pedestrian paths onto the water with a flexible event and gathering space. Native plants are strategically placed to improve drainage, prevent erosion, and support biodiversity. The park’s pathways and versatile gathering spaces encourage public interaction through accessible spaces, recreational activities, and exploration of native flora and fauna. The combination of flood prevention and community engagement allows for a resilient, sustainable environment that strengthens the connection between the community and their natural surroundings.
