he hotel was assigned to a large outdoor parking lot in downtown Galt, adjacent to an existing boulevard and various aspects of urban fabric. With the parti of a fashion runway, the hotel inspires those who are enamoured with ‘the fame’: glamour, exhibitionism, and l’étalage. The hotel hopes to provide a “New Galt”; future developments and urban density hoping to spark in the downtown core.
At night, Hôtel Étalage shines as it showcases its ever-changing façade D E N N I S TA N G

Hôtel Étalage is an amazing thirteen storey tower that houses over fifty suites, complete with a full spa, restaurant and a rooftop lounge. A third floor bar is atop a grand crystal spiral staircase, from which one can ascend from the lobby. The terrace adjacent is stepped to provide a tripartite relationship: the runway, the audience, then the pool. The grand park next to the hotel is divided in relation to the existing fabric of Galt. Playgrounds, fields, and sports areas fill these respective divisions. Inspired by Bryant Park in New York, these areas can be easily transformed to host any type of event. above: The park adjacent features a large patio and split portions which makes it a prime location to hold public events

the origins of clothing are not practical. they are mystical and erotic. the primitive man in the wolf-pelt was not keeping dry; he was saying: look what i killed. aren’t i the best? katharine hamnett
This fashion-forward hotel is illuminated at night by a triple-paned LED projection system to exhibit various textiles and designs during the night. As these designs shift through the night, it is an allusion to the textile industry that existed in Cambridge many years ago; Galt can once more revive its textile roots to showcase to the world.
A typical suite (plan above) is luxuriously designed to be open yet intimate with unparralled views of Galt. PORTFOLIO

A future projection of the site forsees further development of the area to create a bustling part of Toronto, as well as the redevelopment and landscaping of Moss Park.
his multi use complex combines Co-operative housing with an Elementary School for the Arts, a Public Library, a fully functioning Theatre, as well as a retail complex that reaches beyond the street into an underground concourse that connects to a future expansion of the PATH network.
PORTFOLIO
Underground there are four levels of parking. The development is designed to be a large inclusive theatrespace where the inner court is something of a performance space, complete with its own Turkish Garden.

The Band Halls are on the top floor of the School, facing West above the Art Studios. These studios look upwards to the sky as natural light floods in during practice. The walls are outfitted with wood paneling to assist with acoustics.
Queen Street School for the Performing Arts is a public school designed for artistically inclined children who wish to nurture their talents for brighter creative futures. The School is fully equipped with Band Halls, Choir Rooms, Dance Studios, Drama Classrooms and Painting & Sculpting Studios. The School is also fully prepared with a large number of classrooms and Athletics spaces. The main Atrium is a combination-use space between a Cafeteria and a Main Stage for school events.
All the Art Studios face West--the Moss Park side of the site--where students can be inspired by the open green space and the urbanity of the city in the background.
The Dance Studios are equipped with floor-to-ceiling mirrors and bars for training and practice.

Overleaf, bottom: The Bridge is best suited for an Artist or Photographer, a person who needs privacy but ample space to work. Left: The tower holds Studio, One Bedroom, Two Bedroom, and Three Bedroom apartments. Built on a six-metre diamond grid, the apartments are easily rationalized into place, like this typical floor plan here. Below: The living spaces are open and distanced from the outdoor spaces, where they can create private spaces with the moveable wooden panels.

orkville is becoming one of Toronto’s architectural centres, hosting an architectural boom occurring since the mid-noughties. Bloor Street is the home of the Royal Ontario Museum, the Royal Conservatory of Music, and will be the site of Toronto’s newest façade.

This new façade consists of an additional layer of glazing which would be held 1.2 meters away from the existing one. 80 Lights allows for savings in cooling and heating of the building, as well as provides the opportunity for dramatic street interaction. Built with glass in a ‘ fish

scale’ system, the façade allows for the control of air in the created space between the old and the new. During the winter, 80 Lights acts as a layer of insulation; the glass traps warm air in between the existing curtain wall, and the new façade. The top of the façade would be closed, preventing the heat from rising and escaping: this will greatly reduce the amount of heat loss over the facade. During the summer, 80 Lights takes advantage of the height of the building with stack effect. Hot air is continuously being flushed out of the façade with cooler air, as the top of this skin is open. Fritted glass would be used to cover the existing exposed
concrete spandrels to prevent excessive thermal gain. This fritted glass, white during the day, would undergo a dramatic transformation during the night. The fritted glass would provide a surface for which up-cast LED lights would shine. 80 Lights would be ever changing, responding to the events, weather and seasons which take place in Toronto. 80 Lights at Bloor St. West would perform as a system to reduce operating costs in the building. The proposal is currently published in the project editorial, 80.

or as long as I can remember, I have always had a pencil in my hand, and a paper before me. I have always loved art, and always loved to draw. In my middle-school years I enrolled in Baythorn Public School`s regional arts program, where I continued to study art, as well as falling in love with theatre and performance. As high school came around, I was accepted into the Arts York program of Unionville High School. There I furthered my craft and fine-tuned my skills as a fine artist, as well as finding my designer voice. Now that I am enrolled in the University of Waterloo School of Architecture, I truly feel that art is a large portion of who I am as a person and a designer. I continue to apply skills I have learned while studying fine art into my architectural practice.

a continuing thirty-something year tradition, it is compulsory for every second year class to script, compose, design, build and act in a theatrical production. Every production centres around a Greek Myth as the theme. For the 2011 edition of University of Waterloo School of Architecture summer production, the theme was the Iliad: Seige of Troy. Starring Andrew Ashbury as Achilles, the Seige of Troy unfolds as it is told by the blind Greek poet Homer (Roksena Nikolova) and the Victorian archeologist Schliemann (Giles Hall). For my part in the production, I directed the costume department with Andreea Toca and also played the supporting lead, Schliemann’s skeptical but helpful right-hand man, Calvert.
