JENNY HU
ARCHITECTURAL PORTFOLIO
1
Hi! My name is Jenny
I am a third year student at the University of Waterloo School of Architecture. To me, architecture is one of the most concrete ways to tell stories, engage with communities, and bring people together. With architecture leaving such tangible and widespread impact on the real world, I think it is important that architecture is practiced as a form of altruism as much as it is applied as a science and art.
Aside from architecture, I enjoy reading, writing, and all forms of art. When I am not working on school or any of my hobbies, I can typically be found watching cooking shows and enjoying a steaming bowl of kimchi ramen.

3 to 1, Go!
Location Program Skills Group Cambridge, ON Affordable Housing Rhino 7, Enscape, Adobe CS Marc Roel Calosa
3 to 1, Go! is an affordable housing project that looks to unify, accommodate, and house 3 target demographics in a 6-storey red brick building. Students, low income families, and the houseless are the demographics that this project is curated towards.
The building provides various social spaces on the ground floor by reflecting the needs of its residents. It engages with the existing residential community by funneling locals into a central courtyard. The residential floors split off into 3 separate wings for each demographic. Every unit is modularly constructed to allow for a quick and affordable construction process. With these factors, 3 to 1, Go! strives to dismantle housing alienation through the unification and accommodation of our 3 target demographics.

At the intersection of Shade Street and Kerr Street, 55 Kerr street is an abandoned infill site with a contentious history. The lot is adjacent to lush vegetation and a quiet creek, and is surrounded by predominantly low-rise single family residential neighbourhoods. Being so prominent, the site has captured the interest of developers who proposed 30 storey luxury towers to be built.
In 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic project and drastically changed in Cambridge as landlords pulled rent. During this time, residents their opposition to the highrise propriate proximity to the low-rise

Following the criticisms of locals, the project was adjusted to be 18 storeys tall, though the community still expressed displeasure through community councils. As the project was at a standstill, homeless encampments began to occupy the site. The response was hostile, with the homeless being kicked off and the site fenced off.

Little Glass Teahouse 02
Location Program Software Toronto, ON Greenhouse + Library Rhino 7, Enscape, Adobe CS
Entering the Little Glass Teahouse on Eastern Avenue and Rolling Mills Rd, the busy city scene fades away as a quaint atmosphere takes place. With a combination of glass and wood which plays with the connection of views and filtering of light, this library provides the community with the opportunity to slow down.
With a greenhouse program focused on growing tea plants, the library’s design revolves around a glass structure in the center that spans three levels. Focused on a different aspect of tea processing per level, this glass structure is the heart that ties the building together.

The building follows a grid system of 1.5m x 1.5m squares, which is used primarily for the system of columns lining the boardwalk and interior space. This system is used to divide the main programmatic spaces as well, including the greenhouse, tea processing area, main stairwell, cafe / library program, and extra utilities.

The Serpent Bridge 03
Location Program Skills Group
Cambridge, ON Steel Bridge
Rhino 7, Enscape, Adobe CS
Sadie Berzins
In the midst of the quaint city of Cambridge, Ontario is Churchill Park, a wonderful gathering space for all. Situated on a pond within Churchill Park, the Serpent Bridge takes visitors from a charming historic mill across the body of water to give spectacular views of the surrounding parkscape.
A sinuous, non-intrusive steel framework was envisioned to create the illusion of a weightless bridge floating atop the water. The steel structure supports a slatted timber deck that snakes its way over the quaint park pond. The steel structure gives the bridge a sense of rhythm and movement with a central spine and flanking rib plates that take on the role of transverse beams. Due to the winding nature of the bridge, visitors are encouraged to pause and take on a meandering pace.

While working as an Architectural Intern at Frontop Engineering, I worked on designing and producing drawing packages for a house addition. I also worked on various projects within the Wu Tai Shan Buddhist Garden project in Peterborough, including documenting the timber design of the Main Entrance Archway and helping to create and iterate upon the construction package for a trio of temples.
