Wood-Works Research Cabin Evergreen Brick Works, Toronto Year 1 Semester 2 Situated loosely in a large field, the concept relies on an orthagonal organization of spaces that creates a comfortable study space for the botanist client, within the contrasting natural landscape. The building is divided up into a work area and live area, as well as a transitional space that defines the boundaries of the two. This ensures a balance in their experience and use of the cabin. The selective bay windows signal important views out into the studied landscape, vegetation and continued open space.

C(r)ave Restaurant Nathan Phillips Square, Toronto Year 2 Semester 1
This restaurant design acts as a connection of the home and the city. It connects certain points on the Nathan Phillips Square site, including: the pond, as the history, the stage, as the culture, and the City Hall, as Toronto itself. The chef’s restaurant, located at the northwest corner, is then the home in comfort of its surrounding environment.

The cave-like form is a play on our natural instincts, and serves as a carving out of the city into a protective and ambiguously familiar environment; here, the senses are experienced naturally.

Toronto Academy of Performing Arts Church St. and Shuter St., Toronto Year 2 Semester 2
This project depicts the movement and flow of the city in relationship to the art of dance. The building acts as a living organism, exposing the elements of structure and the movement of user bodies through the fluid facade. The skin of this building is composed of 3 “faces�, which are: translucent, opaque and transparent. The composition of these skins controls the views, as well as the amount of natural light that fall into the spaces.

West-East Section Perspective
From the street level, those passing by are able to see the silhouettes of the performers in some elevations, while others provide a clear view into the space thus eliminating any boundaries between the artist and the viewer; both are limitless and ambiguous in a way. This concept is supported by the interior of the building as well, where the studio spaces are placed behind glass on the inside and outside of the building, while the theatre and residential floors are more private from the interior, and requiring special access.

The idea behind the various open spaces and intentional repetition, or breakage of, is that the users could break out into dance at any point. The building mimics their flexibility by allowing itself to be transformed into a performance space.

Diagrid Distillery Mill St. and Trinity St., Toronto Year 3 Semester 1 This project aims to exhibit the program of the existing heritage and new distillery buildings, conceptually imitating the form of a whisky glass, as a gesture to the final step of the distilling process. This mass reinforces its presence on the site, within the historic Distillery District, and invites a fresh educational and experiential approach to the distilling process. On the south facade, the carved form works to pull people into the heart of the building, while maintaining the existing historic facade; to the north, this broken glass form is repeated in both buildings to form a larger public space for user-distillery interaction.

Diagrid Distillery - Part 2 (Redesign with Partner) Mill St. and Trinity St., Toronto Year 3 Semester 2
With the extruded cylindrical form mimicking a whisky glass, the distilling program is presented as a wholesome start-to-finish experience revealing its program through glimses of the central and dynamic broken-glass body. The idea of protrusion and extrusion are expressed in the engagement between the diagrid form and the existing historic south tower, which is revived through these actions. Their relationship suggests a flow between old and new, and the concept of a whisky glass intersecting that from which it is made.

Work at Pinchin Ltd. Building Science & Sustainability (BSS) Group During my term, I have been able to attend regular site visits with Senior Technicians and Project Managers to observe and take note of progress on various projects. This work includes performing Building Condition Assessments, Energy and Accessibility Audits, Envelope Investigations and more, involving fire and life safety, structure, exterior and interior aspects. The following is an example of a new-construction project where I was able to attend monthly site walk-throughs with the client to discuss and review progress on site.

These drawings were created for a portfolio of Building Envelope Investigations on heritage buildings. The buildings were reviewed in detail, tested for areas of leakage and structural deterioration, and then reported. GENERAL NOTES PERTAINING TO DRAWINGS:

Timber Fever Design-Build Competition 2017 This project, programmed as a reading room, was designed by our team of architecture and engineering students to imitate the arrangement of book spines lined up side by side. These strong vertical elements are then expressed through the play of light. Inspired by our given objects, 2 styrofoam heads, the 2 separate spaces act as a flexible barrier allowing several users to experience the space at once, whether individually or by interacting.
