Brickwork is a prototype for a café/bar in a typical residential and commercial space to be situated in Toronto. Research-based design strategies are implemented to create healthy indoor air moments and details. Inspired by Toronto’s brick architecture and the historic Don Valley Brick Works, the project embraces brick as a primary material. This approach ensures that the solutions for a healthy interior can be seamlessly integrated across other sites in the city. The layering of design strategies to promote a healthy interior is visualized in the construction of a brick wall, where each solution contributes to form a robust barrier against harmful bacteria and viruses.

Incorporating the display case into the bar results in a seamless surface that is easier to clean, minimizing the presence of pathogens.

Copper is used on high volume touch surfaces for its self-cleaning properties, as well as to act as a visual prompt for employees to clean those surfaces more frequently.
The implementation of awnings create a comfortable environment outdoors, encouraging activities outdoors to protect against airborne transmission.

Saunter is a renovation project of the VIA Concourse of Union Station for the client Akin Collective. Exhibition rooms are implemented into the programming to provide opportunities for artists to rent low-cost spaces to display their art. In having this remote gallery in the VIA Concourse, tourists and commuters can slow down and saunter to appreciate art while waiting for their trains. The ceiling of each space is indicative of a different programming. The barrel vaulted ceiling along the centre of the concourse not only mirrors the Beaux-Arts architecture of Union Station, but also suggests a main path of travel. The adjacent hallways lead the traveller to exhibition spaces with the use of a curved beam. These beams continue on into the exhibition spaces with lighting reinforcing this path of travel.
