The Do-A-Ball is introducing a new way of doing laundry. Allowing your small laundry garments to be sorted and protected throughout the washing process. The new Do-A-Ball can be custom made to the comfort of the user through the use of different dividers. Unlike previous products attempting to protect bras and provide sustainable fabric softeners, the new product does it all while eliminating noise issues. This made possible thanks to noise reduction fabric strategically located around the ball which also acts as a laundry softener.

BLURRED LINES Year 4 | Nuit Blanche Installation Proposal | Team Members: Aviv Sarner, Anna Pavia, Tiffany Tse, Kate Gonashvili, Agatha Kwiatkowski
The installation explores the relationship between transparency and light through oscillation. While actively responding to user motion and proximity, the interactive environment creates an ambient experience for multiple users in the space. Upon entering the pathway, the installation follows the movement of its occupants. As the transparent tubes sway and illuminate; they imitate the path of the walker while obstructing views to other areas in the room. The motion of swaying tubes imitates the experience of walking through corn and wheat fields, a constrictive path and an experience that overpowers users in scale, volume and motion.
03 15
The installation blurs the participants’ vision and abstracts the view of the person on the other side of the maze, Shimmering light and swaying wheat are all that make you aware of someone’s presence 16
BLURRED LINES The illuminated plastic tubes are installed in box-
a static position, the visual connection between
es sitting atop a sliding track system. When the
users in the space is lost as human presence is
installation is activated, the motor rotates an at-
dictated by the brightness and motion of the in-
tached cam to create a forward and reverse mo-
stallation. The more users within the installation,
tion to initiate the back and forth sliding of the
the more obstructed becomes the views through
boxes that then result in the swaying of the plas-
the space and a more intricate and solitary expe-
tic tubes, similar to sway of wheat. When not in
rience is created for the individual.

ReTREE(t) HOUSE Year 4 | Small House Project: Tree House , Muskoka ON
Tree houses have been around for thousands of years. Whether they were used for survival or for a temporary magical escape, it always played a role in connecting the user and the surrounding nature. The ReTREE(t) HOUSE is a new paradigm of tree houses in Northern Ontario, Canada. The small structure is hung three meters above ground on two sets of swings (beams) connecting between the 4 natural columns (Pine trees) and the treehouse.
19
The experience inside the treehouse imitates the idea of climbing a tree... 20
ReTREE(t) HOUSE The building provides three stories of a relaxing and reconnecting experience between the wooded area and the user. The entrance of the ReTREE(t) HOUSE is through an elevated balcony overlooking the site. Upon entering the user can enjoy double height space with a small seating hub at the western corner. The experience inside the treehouse imitates the idea of climbing a tree Through the use of two ladders between the floors.
The mezzanine level is used as a bedroom including a storage units and a Murphy bed. The last floor is accessible through a ladder and a sliding window, not a typical entrance but an experience in and of itself. The ReTREE(t) HOUSE provides a small but comfortable and intelligent space which could be used throughout the year. It provides a link between human comfort and the wildlife through the use of local materials and detailed design.

Die NABE - THE HUB Year 4 | Studio abroad , Frankfurt, Germany Transit station center
die Nabe – the Hub is a transit center adjacent to the main train station in Frankfurt, Germany. The new development is a key to the revitalization of the area as it provides a multi-use center for both the locals and tourists. The transit hub is designed to accommodate the main bus station of Frankfurt while also creating space for providing a conference center, a public space and a short term hotel.
THE HUB
23
The project is set to become a destination rather than a discouraging station people prefer to avoid as seen in most bus terminals today. 24

The project takes into consideration current issues with the generic transit terminal and applies modern solutions to its programs and design for the comfort and safety of the users. Unlike previous terminals, it provides an open space for the maximization of fresh air and daylight while segregating it from the main level. This allows for a visual connection from the street level and a safe pedestrian zone. The second level of the development provides a retail and gastronomy area open to the public. The upper floors are dedicated for specific individuals use in the conference center and Hotel. Lastly, the top floor includes a restaurant overlooking the view of Frankfurt. Essentially, the project is set to become a destination rather than a discouraging station people prefer to avoid as seen in most bus terminals today.

GEOMETER’S STUDIO Year 3 | Personal studio for a geometer
Geometer’s Studio is a design challenge to create a small live/work area for a mathematician. The maximum buildable area allowed is 16m2. The first goal of the design was to provide a clean design and segregate usage.
29
The ART of the design can be found in its DETAILS... 30
GEOMETER’S STUDIO The motif of the design was to hide the joints and create seamless details. As a result, the doors, windows and stairs seem to float as the connections are hidden in the walls and floors. Three levels were designed to distinguish the difference usage. Users are welcomed though the upper floor to a small space with a pantry closet and a washroom. The mezzanine level occupy a smaller storage, relax area and an additional staircase leading to the level below. The first level includes a working space and an access to the main balcony, overlooking the landscape. The studio can be accessed from the upper floor and through stairs to the lower balcony. In order to maximize natural light and views, double height windows were installed. In addition, a wooden louver system was implemented to control heat and glare inside the space

Rising in the heart of the shed district, Skycity will be Manitoba’s tallest structure, transforming the urban landscape forever. The tower will create an integrated community featuring outstanding retail offerings and beautifully designed residential condominiums with panoramic views of the city skyline. My responsibilities included: Providing 3D visualizations and renders of the project for two design review panel presentations (2014-2015). The graphics and text were done for the DRP in November 2015 by the project’s team and a two partner architects.

505 RICHMOND STREET WEST 2014 - 2015 | Professional work | Kirkor Architects and Planners | Team Members: Adrienne Lee, Roman Pevcevicius, Sarah Boute Lead Architect : David Butterworth
The site is located in downtown Toronto and currently occupied by an historic waterworks building owned by Build Toronto. The objectives of the projects is to highlight the historic component of the site while providing a livable and desirable space. The proposed development enhance the original facade and joins history with modernity. In additional to a residential condo the new complex provides eclectic retail space, commercial component, events venue and a courtyard. Andrew’s playground located to the south of the property would be rehabilitated and will include outdoor performance space and movie screen. Providing a mix-use program allows for diversity and a pedestrian community that promotes transit walking and cycling on-site. My responsibilities included: modeling the existing conditions of the site and the new addition. Providing 3D visualizations and renders of the before and after conditions, and putting the presentation together with the team members. The graphics were done for a request for proposal (RFP) in the spring of 2015 with the project’s team and a partner architect.

441 CLARK AVENUE WEST 2014 - 2015 | Professional work | Kirkor Architects and Planners | Team Member: Adrienne Lee Lead Architect : David Butterworth
The site is a local plaza located at the corner of Clark Avenue West and Hilda Avenue in Vaughan, Ontario. The Spring Farm plaza is a commercial node for the Thornhill community as it includes a kosher supermarket and other local businesses and retail. The first phase of the proposal provides a mixed-use development which will enhance the public realm and join the adjacent residential neighborhood with the plaza. The project includes a 20 storey residential building with a commercial component at the ground level. In addition a mews will separate the building from Commercial 2 storey building to the north property line. The key to the project is to keep all the businesses of the plaza running during construction. Thus, the first stage of the project is to construct the commercial building at the northeast parking area so the businesses at phase 1 area would relocate during construction of the residential building. My responsibilities included: Design, modeling the existing conditions of the site, building and designing Revit model, architectural drawings, 3D visualizations, presentation package for DRP and other meetings and rezoning package. The graphics were done for a design review panel (DRP) at the city of Vaughan during the month of October, 2015 with an Associate and a partner architect.
The development will enhance the public realm and join the adjacent residential neighborhood with the plaza. 42

REGENT PARK BLOCK 23 2014 - 2015 | Professional work | Kirkor Architects and Planners | Team Members: LeeAnn Pallett, Roman Pevcevicius, Stephen Wong Lead Architects : David Butterworth & Brant Whitby
Block 23 is a townhouse complex in the regent park neighborhood. Surrounded by multiple new developments with unique architectural language, the complex design goal was to create a moderate design which will not overcome the architecture surrounding it. The complex includes 18 units with private gardens and local alleyways. The site plan along with the landscape design enhances privacy and encourage activities within the complex. My responsibilities included: Providing 3D visualizations and renders of the project for a design review panel presentation. The graphics were done for the latest Design Review Panel (DRP) in November 2015 by the project’s team and a two partner architects.
