artist’s residence term 1A design studio
7
This project is a studio and home for a carpenter located in Cambridge, Ontario along the east bank of the Grand River. The artist’s residence interacts with the floodwall along the river, pushing and pulling the original floodwall boundary while maintaining its material characteristics. The studio and home are both separated and connected by a flexible space for the exhibition of work or entertaining friends. The fireplace at the end of this long, slightly sunken space is a place for gathering and a visual focal point. The studio is characterized by large sliding doors that open onto a courtyard, creating oppurtunities for indoor/outdoor work and outdoor exhibitions.

The east wall of the building is continued at the level of the floodwall, and made of the same board-formed concrete. The west wall of the studio is made up of steel sliding doors that open onto the courtyard.

This section is cut through the exhibiton/entertaining space, looking north. The fireplace on the west wall creates a spatial and social focal point for the long, narrow space.

model on site, 1:100 concept sketch The artist’s residence began with this sketch: an imagined transitory space between home and studio. Pinned to my desk, it reminded me of the quality of the space I wanted to create.
sketch model
morphology
A series of sketch models was essential for the development of the roofline and the rhythm of the elevations.
The solid black line on the left represents the floodwall, while the dashed black lines represent the cuts made in the wall. The orange dashed lines represent the walls added to separate rooms.

The roof of the model was removed to capture the experience of the interior spaces and highlight the sliding doors and the fireplace.

sculpture term 1B design studio
15
Tasked with creating a self-portrait in space, I was initially drawn to the idea of nested, semi-transparent forms. After many attempts at stiffening translucent materials tulle, gauze, tracing paper - into free-standing structures, I began playing with cheesecloth and plaster. The cheesecloth is coated in thickened plaster and hung to dry on wire frames. This technique was used to create four individual pieces that can be placed alone or grouped. My studio desk was transformed into a laboratory of sorts. The desk is forever marked with plaster, and my Xacto knife will never recover.

The challenge of creating this sculpture lies in its structural integrity. I experimented with different mixtures of plaster and various lengths of cheesecloth in order to balance the forms individually. The balance of the structure also relies heavily on the shape of the base; for this I used various circular shapes such as the shade of my studio lamp, depicted above.

nest term 1B building construction CISC competition entry in cooperation with Rory Sibley

Located in High Park, Toronto, Nest offers a lookout to the surrounding park and urban fabric. Composed of an array of steel columns, Nest assembles views of High Park and Bloor Street to create connections between the natural and the urban. The pattern of the columns is inspired by the seemingly random arrangement of sticks and grass that make up the structure of a bird’s nest.

Steel support rings connect the inner and outer columns. The inner and outer columns crisscross to create a playful pattern of light and shadow, partially obscuring views of High Park.

library for a city term 1B design studio
27
Library for a City is located in the vibrant neighbourhood of St. Clair West, amidst local shopkeepers, schoolaged kids, elderly couples and busy commuters. The library is designed to be a ‘city observatory’ in some spaces, and a ‘city sponge’ in others - at times separate from, at time engaging with the city. Bordering St. Clair is a sunken courtyard where library-goers can read, converse and eat outdoors. Sliding doors separate the courtyard from the flexible studio space. The upper floors feel more protected and encourage quiet study.

The sights and sounds of St. Clair West filter into the sunken courtyard and studio space. Similarly, the views into the courtyard and studio from street level draw the atmosphere of these creative spaces out onto the street.
