HALE COFFEE
Flagship Shop Interior Renovation for Hale Coffee Co. Junction Triangle, TO / 2016 [Completed | 10 Best Coffee Shop Interiors, Blog TO] 217m2 TEAM: John Jiayi Zhāng, Matthew Lâu, John Benner, Liam Häll, Gregorio Jiménez, Stephen Jones
A completed design for the interior for Hale Coffee Company’s Flagship Store, which served as a dual coffee production facility and café. The wooden modular installation creates a continuity in the design that connects the ceiling, bar and feature wall; providing cohesiveness in the space. A contrasting dark and light pallet, with an emphasis of material and craft through custom-made wooden furniture create a warm and cozy ambiance. High ceiling space allowed for varying heights that create an undulating form that flows along the ceiling and the existing mechanical structure, creating something that invites customers into the space while directing the eye.

Toronto’s rivers are prone to fluctuating water levels, accumulating from extreme precipitation as well as melting snow. With these unpredictable accumulations of water, rivers can vary from minimum water levels to flooding. As a repercussion, garbage is swept into the water and distributed along the river. The Don River deals with the condition of garbage as it connects from several bodies of water up north, and empties into Lake Ontario. Nexus resolves this condition by allocating two thirds of the garbage moving downstream, and shifts it to the sides of the river into collectors for efficient removal. The structure is arranged underneath the Prince Edward Viaduct, recycling the existing unused space to implementing a social and environmental sustainable condition. To accommodate for the fluctuations of the water levels, the central component of the bridge is connected to pontoons that provide support for the bridge for vertical movements in water.

WOODRISE
Residential Midrise - Design Studio III
The influx of families into suburbia was a response to the crowded conditions of the inner city. Woodrise is a response to the issues of suburbia and allows for families to continue living in the city. Communal spaces recreate the neighbourhood and allows for social events and outdoor activities to occur. To reduce the anthropogenic impact on the environment, the building is almost completely made from wood, using cross laminated timber for the structure. Collective green terraces allow residents to grow their own produce and promotes a healthy community in order to counter the blasé attitude of the metropolis. An abundance of open spaces allow residents to interact with each other while living healthy sustainable lifestyles.

Fraktur explores expansion and contraction and how these ideas can be used to make an otherwise dark and static room feel alive. By creating the sensation of breathing, it naturally evokes the presence of an organic entity. Once it detects a wandering human, it reacts defensively. The walls begin to breathe and expand, occupying a greater amount of space. Glowing cracks are revealed in its once uniform jet-black skin as it attempts to interact eerily with the foreign entity. One may feel as if they had entered into the belly of a beast as the pulsating walls close in... Humans often encroach on nature without considering their impact; only leaving nature to react defensively.

DŪPLEX 104
Residential Duplex - Design Studio III
Composed of 2 intertwining units, the duplex enables both units to have similar daylight conditions from the east and west. Floor-to-ceiling glazing elongates the units, forming spacious interiors with deep daylight penetration. Open plans and a light well results in a fluidity between the spaces and creates large interiors in the narrow lot. The central light well serves as the principal means of vertical circulation and allows for light to permeate throughout the building while promoting stack effect. Varying ceiling heights respond to privacy of the program to create more intimate spaces while more public rooms freely flow into one another to promote interaction and community to the various inhabitants.

NEST
Woodbine Beaches, TO / 2018 14.4m2
Winterstation Competition [Built | Finalist] TEAM: Henry Mài, Arnel Español
NEST is driven by the idea of creating a space of comfort and introspection within a system of complexity and disarray. The overwhelming nature of information and everyday life is expressed through the chaotic texture and asymmetrical form of the installation. Composed of modular cells that contain a weave of colourful webs, NEST provides both shelter and playful moments of light and shadow within the space. The interior experience allows the visitor to momentarily step away from the noise, pause, and view the world through a clear lens.
