The Glenmore Twin Arena (GTA) is an exciting opportunity to develop a Twin Arena for The City of Calgary in the SW community of Glenmore. The facility will be a welcomed addition to the City’s existing recreational offerings in the Glenmore Athletic Park. The proposed Glenmore Twin Arena will be comprised of two indoor ice sheets, with fixed seating capacity of 1086 for Arena A and 396 for Arena B. Other programmatic items include changerooms, a spectator concourse, concession, two multiuse community rooms and a main lobby. The concept design and siting of the new Glenmore Twin Arena also takes into consideration both the existing condition and the future master planning of the site.
The exterior form of the proposed design inspired by the mountains to the west and aims to integrate sustainable features and functionality into the design. The slopped roof with an optimal orientation for PV panels allows for efficient energy generation. The N/S orientation of the building is designed to optimize solar passive strategies, while the reduction in height on the South facade is intended to maximize the benefits of passive sustainable strategies.

This project proposes a 4-season community gathering space that pinpoints a center of gravity and a strong civic identity for this historic and mature neighborhood.
The Rollie Miles Recreation Centre is an intentionally small urban-scale aquatics and recreation facility to be infilled in the Queen Alexandra & Strathcona neighborhoods. The project serves to replace Edmonton’s oldest, and well-loved, Scona Pool with an expanded community centre integrated into the larger Rollie Miles Athletic Field District Park. Sharing the site with the venerable Strathcona High School, this District Park has faithfully served all neighborhoods south of the North Saskatchewan for high-performance athletics and academic needs for decades, however it has not been perceived as a place welcoming for all. Through focused community feedback and inspiration drawn from place and history, this project proposes a revitalized park and facility to draw the community together year-round: to gather, to recreate, to be creative, to celebrate, and nurture a sense of shared identity.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, office spaces are undergoing a radical transformation. Gone are the days of traditional, cubicle-laden layouts. Instead, businesses are embracing a hospitality-inspired design ethos. The Toronto office is one of the pilot project initiated by PwC. Cramped cubicles are replaced by the open, airy spaces, fostering collaboration and creativity. Comfortable lounge areas with plush seating and soft lighting invite employees to relax and recharge. Shared workspaces and flexible meeting rooms accommodate both in-person and remote collaboration seamlessly.
This shift isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about creating a welcoming environment that prioritizes employee well-being and productivity. As we redefine the future of work, these hospitality-inspired offices represent a bold new chapter in workplace design.

The Town of Georgina sits just north of Toronto bridging the gap between crowded metropolis and the serene, simple landscapes of what is known locally as “cottage country”.
Defined by 3 distinct boxes, each one sloping towards the central heart nestled between, the Georgina Multi-Use Recreation Complex takes form by paying homage to local and community spirit. Through the engagement of future users and staff in a series of micro-planning meetings, the development of the design reflects not only programming needs, but also a form, materiality and connection to the surrounding landscape that encompasses the spirit of place.
Concept
Community connection to the landscape Local typologies
Context
Community and social hearts come from the spaces in between
Three distinct programming boxes consisting of pool, gymnasium and library
Programming boxes come together at the community heart
Massing following original concept of ‘boathouses’ with all three programming blocks sloping towards the community centered heart of the building
Programming
Pool, Gym, and Library each sit within a distinct box. Common threads for each box tie back the original concept.
The Boathouses (Pavilions):
The boathouses are the upper elements for each programmatic box following the colloquial language of a metal shed with a warm wood liner. This acts as shell for the main public areas of all three boxes
The Blockhouses (Auxiliary Structures):
The blockhouses are solid areas for back of house and private programming that respond to the functional and performance requirements of each programmatic element.
Anchors (Program Support):
The block houses are clad in what are conceptually called the anchors. These are ground-level elements, connecting the building to the site. They act as the base for all private programming and are complemented on the ground level with glazing at the public spaces.

The Place du Portage III Asset and Workplace Renewal (PDPIII AWR) is a project that addresses a major piece in the federal government’s portfolio in the National Capital Region. The complex, originally built between 1975 and 1978, is the headquarters for Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC), the federal department responsible for accommodations and capital projects on behalf of all federal departments.
With a total GFA of approximately 1.39 million square feet, PDPIII is one of the largest office buildings in the government’s holdings. it is a designated modern heritage building with limited protection status under federal legislation. The project is comprising a complete upgrade of the base building and all-new workplace and public interiors. The design also features resilient design strategies to address climate change.
PDPIII acts as a gateway from Ottawa to Gatineau, connecting the provinces of Ontario and overlooking Parliament Hill

Scotiabank Nuit Blanche 2014 - Stomata
Stomata is named after the Greek word for “mouth” which is also used to describe pores found in the epidermis of botanical organisms that control gas exchange.
A metaphor where changing apertures respond to the proximity of human interactions in a similar manner to how stomata pores respond to oxygen and carbon dioxide levels, Stomata is an interactive installation that responds to the engagement of the public through their proximity and senses.
