Ecological Learning Center 04.
Location | Lake Laurentian Conservation area, Sudbury, ON Materials | Wood Siding, and Wood Framing.
In the winter term of 2023, I conceived an Ecological Learning Center situated in a floating conservation area in Sudbury, Ontario. The primary objective of this project was to craft a building that seamlessly integrates into its surroundings without causing harm to the natural landscape. The challenge was to design a structure that not only avoids disturbing the floating elements but also embraces a passive design approach.

A Health & Wellness hub
Location |Sudbury, Ontario
Materials | Wood Structure
Mindful Connections is a proposed health and wellness hub in downtown Sudbury, ON, which prioritizes mindful connectivity between health, wellness, and activity spaces. By focusing on the transitions between spaces, it offers time for reflection and emotional adjustment through a calming buffer between the chaotic urban environment, or energy engaging passages to prepare for activity. These can be achieved by using greenery and daylight to promote physical and mental well-being, and specifically highlighting or reducing sensory aspects. Further, the hub proposes a mixed typology of housing units to provide more families and a diversity of users access to health and wellness in one location.
