Professional - Urban Simplicity - 2023
This project was a full interior commercial rennovation of Schawarma Palace in Ottawa. The rennovation included new seating, decorative walls, moving the counter and creating a better flow throughout the space for customers to order, dine and enjoy. The rennovation also included a modification of the seating, expanding seating for customers and even creating bar style seating upon the northern entrance windows. There was also the addition of a bathroom down the stairs and use of glass details for an open layout and feel to the space.

03 SF Arts Pavillion
Academic - JAV101 - 1st Year
This project created a multipurpose community space capable of housing art and acting as a communal center for the neighborhood. Acting as a type of gazebo, its organic shape and irregularity speaks to the organic nature of creativity and is meant to inspire wonder and creation. Located atop a mountain, the viewpoint is meant to encapsulate the view of the city skyline while contrasting it with local art on display highlighting local artists while providing a community space to reflect, think and gartner inspiration.

04 Modular Housing Units Proposal Academic - ARC200 - 2nd Year
This project proposed initiatives to increase square footage and housing in a suburban neighrobhood in Toronto. The proposal proposes the grouping of driveway types to categorize the homes and create small spaces based on the footprint of the driveway. The units are theoretical and could be used for office space, gym, single unit dewllings, etc with the main aim and purpose of prototyping potential posibilities on the footprint of a plot of land.
Driveway typologies of the neighborhood informing the designation of laneway and add on units to pre existing homes on North York, Ontario.
Proposed modular housing unit systems per designated driveway typology.

05 Parametic Roof Design Academic - ARC181 - 1st Year
This project used grasshopper based programming and variable inputs to generate a custom roof structure. With the input of a organic shape and truss width, the grasshopper script is able to produce a custom roof structure able to be adapted to any building type as pictured. Additionally, in this process the truss’s are able to manipulate to various surface’s and heights through the columns generated at the bottom of the truss.

This research project focused on highlighting the transitions that occured in the formation of Zanzibar’s terrain from past to future. Using academic sources, scientific journals and geological data, research informed the design of graphics to communicate these f6nding in three concise timelines highlighting the past, current and predicted changes taking place on the terrain of this island overtime teaching viewers about trends, human developement and geographical formation of the land.
