/ PICAROONS MICROBREWERY
August 2012 | Co-operative Work Term | Junior Designer - Acre Architects
Interior rendering - renovated brewhouse
Exterior rendering from entrance lot
Located in an old train roundhouse in Fredericton, New Brunswick, this renovation, restoration, and new build project is the proposed new headquarters for Picaroons Brewery. The historic existing brick building is restored, and re imagined on the interior as the main brewhouse and public tasting areas while the new build and warehouse renovation look to the industrial and historic nature of the trainhouse for aesthetic influence, separating the main programs of the facility, while keeping a unified look. The new build features offices for the brewery function, a public gallery space, and an open community and brewery event space. The backyard “Dooryard� features patios and performance space for seasonal use, and connect the public to the existing park and riverside space adjacent to the building.

Breakdown of program
Aerial view
The focus of this current studio term is a mixed used residential development located at the corner of Queen and Jarvis in Toronto, immediately adjacent to Moss Park. The development combines the program of a performing arts school, a large public library, office space, retail and commercial units, and varying residential types including bachelor, small family, and live-work units. My project focuses on the idea of separating the program into clustered zones, interconnected visually and physically through interesting sectional relationships and points of view. The school is imagined as a sloped and terraced form, puncturing through the Jarvis facade, featuring display windows into performance and rehearsal spaces, both formal and impromptu, visible from various points in the public program. The public library serves as a cap to a mixed block of retail and office, with visual connections and physical areas punching down through the space, and interconnected through a series of circulation armatures offering varying conditions.

This elementary school in Eindhoven, Netherlands sees two school curricula combined into one facility, one focusing on technical education and the other on academic and theory based education. The two schools combine in a new addition connecting the two existing buildings on the site containing the techinical workshops and the academic classrooms. The existing building at the front of the site retains it’s existing historic facade, with renovations to the ground floor and stair tower. The heart of the school is the stepped cafeteria where the two curricula meet. The angled interior ceiling hieghts and wings of specialized school program are what drive the exterior form of the school.

This Northern Ontario home, designed to accommodate a large and growing family, draws on vernacular design to respond to it’s environment both visually and responsibly. With a large interior space contributing to natural day-lighting and ventilation, locally sourced materials, recycled timbers, and the inclusion of an active ground source heat pump, this home achieves the sustainable measures a modern home should have without sacrificing spatial qualities and design.

OPEN SEA EXHIBITS
This aquarium takes influence from the varying levels of light and visibility in varying depths of the ocean to direct the experience of the visitors, offering varying views on species arranged according to the depths, immersing the viewers into their environment. The design also takes advantage of sea life phenomenon such as bioluminescence to showcase the animals in environments humans never venture to. In addition to the exhibition program, the design features academic spaces for research and lecturing, as well as public event spaces and amenities.

Programmatic layout diagrams
These graphic works were created in collaboration with a design team at Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg Architects in Toronto to aid in the development of the programmatic strategies for a new Business School at a North American university. The strategies look at the interior relationships of academic and student spaces as well as the building’s exterior relations and form, influenced by it’s lake side siting. Along with development diagrams, I created presentation drawings and diagrams for marketing purposes; publications, awards, proposal documents SECTION EAST-WEST and project brochures.

Located in downtown Galt, Cambridge, this hotel provides a place of escape and relaxation as well as a social hub for the downtown area. Submerged beneath the city, the spa offers a space for relaxation and revitalization, with interior spaces and courtyards that project into the larger courtyard above to provide natural light. The bar and the restaurant open on to Main Street, offering a space for interaction and socializing in Cambridge. The form of the hotel creates two interesting outdoor spaces, a contained courtyard directly relating to spa as place for relaxation, and a street-front connection of the bar and restaurant serving as an event space and social link to the city.

Floor Plan Exterior perspective
Set within an open meadow, this 90 sq. metre house features extending cast concrete walls which define the interior space, provide open canvas for the artist’s creative endeavors, and give the building prominence in the large, open setting. The design focuses on an open studio space, surrounded by an operable glazed wall, allowing views into the artist’s work area and the ventilation required for working with aerosol paints. The interior is based around a progression from a defined entrance threshold, through the public space, and to the private studio and bedroom of the resident, each featuring mural walls and a change in elevation to match the topography of the site.

Designed for the SSEF steel design competition, the LinkUP pedestrian and cycling bridge would serve as a vital link for Toronto’s Waterfront Trail and the broader transportation network. Located in Toronto’s harbour front, an area poised for transformation and expansion, this bridge would connect and create new public spaces as mixed developments continue to expand along the waterfront. The bridge is envisioned as two arms reaching to each other across the harbour’s eastern passage, between Ward’s Island and Cherry Beach. The formerly fractured trails of East and West Toronto are projected over the water and united around an open pavilion. Elevation, plan of central pavilion, and exploded truss detail (top to bottom)
