OURA HAVEN EARL ARMSTRONG LANDS, OTTAWA, ON

Oura Haven draws its inspiration from the Greek word "Ouranos," which translates to the sky or heavens. This term embodies the vastness and boundless nature of the sky. To complement this, we have incorporated the second half of our name - "Haven" which symbolizes safety and security. Ultimately, Oura Haven represents "The protection and security of the sky," which forms the cornerstone of our vision for the Earl Armstrong Lands.

3TECHNICAL DETAILS SOMERSET ST W, OTTAWA, ON

The project enabled us to create fundamental permit drawings for a modest Part 3 building. These drawing sheets are intended for use by building permit officials to grant a higher-level approval. The task entails students developing an encompassing package, incorporating an overall site plan, generic floor plans, sections, and elevations. The culmination of these elements forms a comprehensive 'set' of permit drawings, serving as the foundation for a building permit application.

PROJECT BRIEF: The overall floor area amounted to around 18,000 sq.ft., spanning 4-6 floors above ground and one basement level dedicated to parking. The ground floor is designated for commercial use, to be leased out in the future. The design of the new building adheres to the current by-laws. Preexisting structures on the site were dismantled to make way for this new construction.

SUBURBAN COMMUNITY NAKUSP, BC Suburban Community was to formulate an expansion plan for Nakusp, British Columbia, aimed at maximizing the potential of the waterfront lands bordering the Kuskanax Creek. Once home to lumber mills and various wood processing industries, these lands have remained unused for several years. Beyond drawing residents from Lakefront West to downtown Nakusp for shopping, the city aims to entice current residents to explore the newly developed lakefront in the west. Consequently, there is a vision for a seamless lakefront promenade that surrounds the emerging district.

@yeshapatelllll @ Yesha Ketankumar Patel

I am a fourth-year undergraduate student at Carleton University, pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Architecture with a Major in Urbanism. My passion for architecture ignited in the 8th grade, and throughout my academic journey, I have developed a profound interest in community engagement, new urban projects, and city designs. Urban Planning captivates me for its influential role in shaping the landscapes of developed and developing nations, offering exciting employment opportunities. The satisfaction derived from contributing to the functionality and transformation of cities is my driving force. To me, Urban Planning is not just a career but a way of giving back to Mother Nature by creating sustainable environments. I eagerly look forward to transitioning from academic projects to real-life endeavors, aiming to make a lasting impact on the urban fabric.
