The selected project site was located in a lot across from the TIFF Bell Lightbox designed by KPMB architects in Toronto, Ontario. Along with a small group of students our role was to document and model the site and its surrounding buildings in a withstanding manner for the entire frst year class to use during their fnal critiques. Based of of on-site photographs and available resources we created s 3D model, drafted Auto CAD cut sheet fles, laser cut, and assembled the model over a matter of weeks. The model was designed with a void in place of the selected site for student to place their own model within the surrounding context.

This cathedral was part of a larger project that compared religious buildings throughout the world. Each model featured something unique which was outlined in a concurrent essay. The Sens Cathedral’s was one of the frst cathedrals to be built in the gothic architectural style and featured such elements as fying buttresses and arches that related to the structure and aesthetic. My focus was on the North and South facades that housed the fying buttresses. Based of of internet documentation the facades were drawn into separate cut sheets in Auto CAD, laser cut, and assembled over a period of a couple weeks.

Project: M.O Lounge and Gallery
Type: Various
Location: Shanghai, China
Duration: Spring/Summer 2019
Collaborators: QAADR
This space is an easily transformable gallery on the main foor with rolling display walls that can be utilized or stored away dependent on event requirements. The second foor contains a small kitchen and bar for an intimate dining experience with two private rooms a half level above the lounge. My main focus was to tie in the interior design concepts to the exterior of the building through landscape details. The main path incorporates interior materials between concrete tiles with an outdoor dining area surrounded by greenery for an escape from the busy streets of Shanghai. This exterior space connects the dining garden of M. ounge to an existing public courtyard while still maintaining an element of privacy.

Project: OR Tambo Environmental Centre
Type: Commercial
Location: Johannesburg, South Africa
Duration: Fall 2012
Collaborators: EcoDesign Architects and Consultants
A small local frm founded by Andy Horn located in Cape Town, South Africa focuses on sustainable, ecologically friendly building methods and using non-hazardous building materials. The frm believes in educating clients by hosting demonstrative workshops and providing e-manuals as guidelines. While here I worked on a few residential projects, comprised e-manuals, and a large scale environmental center. For the OR Tambo project I was assigned to create construction drawings that outlined material diferences in the eight diferent buildings located throughout the site.
MQ Studio is a unique upscale hair salon that required an open concept plan, with discrete storage and a private chair for exclusive clients. The client wanted their studio to refect their creative nature and display their artistic creations. The ceiling modules are created to resemble a golden fowing river that extends below to frame double sided mirrors. The ceiling is not only for decorative purpose, but to discreetly tuck away the change in ceiling height and house lighting fxtures. This major element is subtly refected in the foor details with gold stripping.

Collaborators: Professor John McMinn and 16 students
Option studio takes place at the end of third year, here a small group of students designed and constructed a sustainable zero-waste classroom that is wheelchair accessible and incorporate a large outdoor learning area. This project is located on First Nations Kayanase soil, which required a site analysis and survey of their existing structures and respecting their heritage. My main focus along with classmate Emma Moseley was the design and calculate the truss members. Advised by Blackwell Engineers, we drafted each truss, calculated and designed nail plates, and the number of nails required so the design would not fail in ntario weather conditions. In addition to the trusses, I was also put on the roofng team to create documentation of required structural elements.

I took the initiative to design a mobile tiny house using the knowledge I have acquired over the years in my post-secondary education. With a set budget, I began to digitally draft construction documents that were reviewed by a professional contractor before I began the physical build. The building process proved to be benefcial while doing my undergraduate studies because it provided an alternative perspective that opened my eyes to some of the small details that can be overlooked while designing in a classroom.

Created for a competition submission, the goal was to use vinyl paneling in an innovative economical manner. By creating prefabricated modules with a variety of enclosed, window, and door openings to the basic house shape it allowed for a fexible and adaptive design strategy. The unit adapts to the individual owners through changing the order in which the modules are placed, creating either more open or private spaces. The curved skylights and foor to ceiling windows allow for natural lighting. The radiant foor system is an active solar design that uses recycled water in to heat the living space.

The selected site for the 4A semester abroad was located across from the Colosseum in a highly tourist trafcked area. With a few existing buildings on site the strategy was to connect the two below ground with a modern experiential museum. Additionally, there is an open event space and lecture hall surrounded by a staircase that houses over 100 roman bust sculptures. Above ground utilizes the existing rail track for public transportation that leads to a market for small businesses at the edge of the site to increase the local population. With the site being slightly elevated the addition of greenery and revitalization of ground conditions created a quiet oasis to escape from the hustle of the city. Courtyards and pockets of outdoor seating allow for users to take a break between attractions and enjoy the features of the ancient city.

The selected site in Toronto is a man-made landfll site made out of disposed construction materials; and by choosing straw bales as a building material I saw an opportunity to revitalize the land. The site is comprised of three buildings, a spa, a café, and a residential/studio space for four select artists. By creating a timeline for the site, it was possible to plant and harvest wheat straw bales and use them not only as a building material, but as a fertilizer for a residential and café vegetable garden, soil enrichment for the trees in the sculpture garden, and for the orchard. This strategy allows for a sustainable ecosystem and provides year-round jobs. Having the bales on site, it allows for any potential future growth or addition of buildings as the users require. These bales are also a key feature of the architecture and ac cented throughout the buildings as seating in the residential units and shelves in the studio space. The concurrent technical report for this project outlines the use of rainwater collection systems in each building and the closed loop water systems that draw water in from Lake Ontario to heat and cool the buildings. This project sparked an interest in sustainable sites and how to combine water conservation concepts.
