Arts Commons Transformation - Phase 2 | Calgary, AB Phase 2 - Modernization + Expansion 2025 KPMB + Hindle Architects Phase: SD + DD Role: Generated design options for the southeast façade and canopy; prepared renders for client meetings; modelled the Max Bell Theatre lobbies and Jack Singer Hall sound and light locks based on historic (1984) and proposed architectural and structural plans, including proposed design concepts and finishes; redrew historic (1984) plans and structure in Revit; developed existing and proposed RCP drawings, including heights and materiality; assisted in reviewing code compliance for washrooms and dressing rooms; and developed fire separation plans based on the existing and proposed design.

Software: Revit, Sketchup, Rhino, Enscape 6

The Werklund Centre Transformation (WCT), formerly known as the Arts Commons Transformation, is the expansion and modernization of Calgary’s premier performing arts centre in the heart of the downtown Cultural District. Following Phase 1, the construction of a new building to support the existing facility, Phase 2 focuses on the renovation and expansion of the original Arts Commons building.

Phase 2 modernizes and upgrades key public and backof-house spaces, improves building performance and life-safety systems, and enhances accessibility and visitor experience. The work also strengthens connections between venues and shared amenities (including administrative areas, rehearsal spaces, and support functions) to better serve Arts Commons’ six resident companies and the more than 1,800 performances and events hosted each year.

A four-storey, 95-unit staff co-housing project offering studio, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom layouts. The 5,433 m² building consists of seven blocks and utilizes ERV system as the primary heating and cooling strategy. A central courtyard is designed to encourage interaction and a sense of community among residents. Parking is provided, along with bicycle storage and dedicated ski storage areas.

The primary goal of the Banff Caribou projects is to provide housing for workers in Banff, supporting the transition from temporary to permanent residency and fostering long-term community integration.

Telus Health | Calgary, AB Renovation 2024 - Complete Hindle Architects + Sarah Ward Interiors Phase: CD, CA Role: Prepared CD drawing sets and details; coordinated architectural drawings with consultant drawings; updated renderings in response to client requests; and assisted with the CA process, including site visits, responding to RFIs, issuing SIs and change orders, reviewing shop drawings, conducting deficiency walks, and preparing certificates for payment.

Software: Microstation, Sketchup, Enscape

This project involved the renovation and conversion of a vacant 19,000 ft² office space within the TELUS Sky tower into a new health clinic for a private operator. Working within the constraints of an existing tower floorplate, the design integrates a complex clinical program while prioritizing patient comfort and experience. The clinic is designed to feel welcoming and approachable rather than institutional.

Waiting areas, consultation rooms, and staff spaces draw from residential and hospitality environments, using warm materials, natural daylight, and carefully selected furnishings to create a calm and inviting atmosphere.

Delivering this vision required significant technical coordination. Mechanical systems were fully upgraded and carefully integrated to meet clinical requirements, while remaining largely concealed within the architecture. The result is a highly functional healthcare environment that balances clinical performance with a refined, humancentered interior.

Woods Homes, Cottage E | Calgary, AB New Construction 2024 - Complete Hindle Architects Phase: CA Role: Tender drawing set and 3D model updates, Interior finish studies support, Assistance with the CA process Software: Microstation, Sketchup, Enscape

Wood’s Homes is a nationally recognized children’s mental health centre based in Calgary, Alberta. Wood’s Homes provided an initial vision statement regarding the program’s development aspirations for the rejuvenation of the Parkdale Campus. Inherent in this statement was the notion that the design of new structures should be centered around therapeutic and healing spaces.

By clearly identifying Wood’s Homes’ desires for a ‘healing architecture’, it was possible to connect these aspirations to current evidence-based theories regarding therapeutic architecture and design. With this in mind, the building’s design has been guided by four key tenets: safety and security, sensory environments, connection to nature, and social connectivity.

The cottage’s diverse program is distributed across two levels, placing active social and educational activities on the lower level with quieter domestic spaces above.

Centre for Grief | Calgary, AB Synthesizing Ecologies 2022 Comprehensive Studio Team: Brendan Mcdonald Supervisor: Ashley Ortlieb (MBAC) Software: Rhino, Enscape, Ai, Ps

Grief is an idiosyncratic journey full of ambivalent emotions that oscillate between rational and experiential thoughts.

This project embraces this oscillating ambivalence by allowing users to process grief on their own terms through traditional art therapy and a series of contemplative spaces.

Curated perspectives both inward and outward carve neutral, specific and ambiguous spaces; which act as activation mechanisms.

The site for this studio was the parcel of land on the northeastern edge of downtown Calgary largely defined by Riverfront Ave, the 5th Ave fly-over, and 4th Ave connected which connects to Reconciliation Bridge on the northeastern edge of downtown Calgary.

The focus of the comprehensive design studios is mostly the integration of architectural design and technical drawing skills.

ON T.R.A.C.K. Tactical Revitalization And Conservation Kit Civic Commons Catalyst: City of Medicine Hat 2021 Urban Design Studio, University of Calgary Team: Brendan Mcdonald, Kylie Wilson Supervisor: Alberto de Salvatierra Software: Rhino, Vray, Ai, Ps

This studio was a partnership with the City of Medicine Hat to re-design a 1.2 km long strip of the downtown core that is bordered on the North by Medicine Hat’s waterfront situated on the South Saskatchewan River, on the West by a railway that bisects the downtown, and on the East and South by a historic neighborhood. Consisting of 20 square blocks, this narrow—yet critically important—transect of the city needed new and innovative strategies to bridge the physical and infrastructural divides of its surrounding context.

On T.R.A.C.K was based on ideas from Jane Jacobs and other community organizers. It was designed to have a minimal destructive methodology on the existing culture of Medicine Hat. The project involved studying the agriculture and food industry in the city and decided to add small food startups and micro-food industries. The goal was to strengthen and regrow the current culture of the city and site, rather than creating a new one.

The New Normal CHUNKITECTURE: Toward a New Politics of Housing 2021 Studio II, University of Calgary Supervisor: Joshua Taron Software: Rhino, Enscape, Ai, Ps

What if the Covid-19 never ends, and no vaccine will help?

Humanity thought it was impossible...but it wasn’t. After years of trying to contain this pandemic, humanity has learnt that it’s futile... Social distancing, also called “physical distancing,” means keeping a safe space between yourself and other people who are not from your household. In 2019, by the spread of Covid-19, communities were forced to social distance to slow down the spread of the virus.

In this world people use VR cameras to picture their own desirable scenes or remember past memories or moments.
