Sector: Multi-Family Residential
Location: Calgary , AB
Located in the heart of Sunnyside along 9A street, this 9-storey multi-family rental building is a landmark project promoting alternate modes of transportation such as cycling, scooters, walking and public transit. This development draws on the "modern eclectic" personality of the neighbouhood and targets young professionals, offering 5 live/work suites and 135 rental suites. Along the east face, an articulated facade progressively steps back as it moves south along 9A street offering tenants views directed towards the river, downtown or Sunnyside.
Sector: Multi-Family Residential
Location: Calgary, AB
Located adjacent to the Sunnyside LRT station, this transit-oriented development encourages use of public transport, scooters, bikes, and walking. Inspiration for the residential elements of the podium along 9A Street was drawn from the Lunenburg, an historic two-storey residential development. Balconies have been used to create expressive form of the building tower and respond to the sightlines from the building and the adjacencies of the project. Balcony sizes vary across the building and select units utilize curved guardrails in bronze to further enhance the balconies as they dance up the façade.

The interiors are designed to be of their place, durable and timeless. The walls are clad in a white stained plywood at the lower levels with fir paneling above door height. The fir paneling ties into the exposed glue-laminated ceiling and heavy timber beam and columns. Sport flooring throughout the facility is a hunter green as a subtle connection to the facilities location within a national park.
Minimal furnishings are provided. The gathering area is fit out with a see-through fireplace connecting the two sides of the main gathering area. Wood storage has been integrated into the fireplace along with a hearth and mantle. In addition, an integrated bench is provided along the southwest wall.
Sector: Cultural
Location: Banff, AB
The building is designed with the central gathering space located along the south-west taking advantage of the solar gain and spectacular views. This gathering space is an open minimal space designed for ultimate flexibility. A central fireplace is unobtrusive while providing a warm and welcoming setting. An operable partition allows the space to be used by multiple users or team groups at the same time. A "front porch" and "back porch" provide sheltered public arrival space and a outdoor washrooms that service nearby fields, playground, and skate park or ice rink in the winter. The interiors are designed to be of their place, durable and timeless.
Wood detailing at the horizontal datum of the doors ties to the prairie style of the area. In addition, the washrooms and showers are tiled in brick pattern with subtle colour variation that is reminiscent of prairie style interior brick detailing. The lower ceilings in the washrooms, showers and corridor are finished in fir paneling for durability and to tie into the glue laminated timber exposed ceilings.
We have prioritized the use of local materials throughout to minimize long lead times. Wall finishes throughout can be sourced locally, tile is from Dal-Tile and readily available, and the equipment and fixtures throughout are all from North American manufacturers.

As a result of Green Line’s construction along 2 Street SW, there will be significant opportunity for public realm improvements. This board was presented to the public in 2020 and illustrates the urban opportunities delivered by new or upgraded sidewalks, utilities and roads that are planned as a part of the Green Line LRT project. In addition, this board also illustrates the urban opportunities that may be enabled by the Green Line. These may be initiated by other businesses, groups, or publicprivate-partnerships while the Green Line is constructed or after it is completed.

As the world shifts into the COVID-19 pandemic era, pushing the vast majority of the population inside and isolated at home, new challenges have emerged from the altered working conditions. How might we begin to address these new issues found in shared “at home” working environments? Is there a solution that allows for a level of flexibility that can adapt to future demands of the domestic setting while remaining affordable, i.e. not breaking the bank?

East Calgary’s rapidly growing newcomer population face migration challenges that are intensified by their sprawlafflicted urban environment. The thesis proposes to activate the food system through a network of urban farms, markets, and community spaces into the area’s proliferating urban waste areas. The result is that not only can newcomers share culturally-rich food among each other and with members of the larger society, but also play a collective role in the revitalization of urban public space and community life, and ultimately regain their sense of place and belonging in a new host country.
