ARCHITECTURAL TRAINEE
FARMOR ARCHITECTURE. Calgary, Canada
AUG 2024
I reproduced the planning application drawings for SouthPark Cove Apartment building. A 66- unit residential project consisting of 16 two-bedroom and 50 one-bedroom units.
I effectively bridged theoretical knowledge with real-world application, particularly in areas such as occupancy classification, limiting distance, percentage of unprotected openings, fire separation as well as floor and wall assemblies.

This monthlong program is intended to give individuals a high level understanding of specific sections of the National Building Code Alberta edition and a hands-on experience redrawing an existing multi-storey, multi-unit residential wood-frame building to effectively bridge theoretical knowledge with real-world application, particularly in areas such as occupancy classification, limiting distance, percentage of unprotected openings, fire separation as well as floor and wall assemblies.
