1.1 ATRIUM DEVELOPMENT Architect: SK Architect Inc. Location: Surrey, BC Programs: Commercial Role: Prepare DP set, Code research. Phases: Site analysis, Programming, SD.

This is a mixed use development project that is at a predesign development phase. It accomodates two commercial structures with ground floor as retail stores and upper floor with a mix of retail and office spaces. It also has a daycare centre with an open terrace as a play area. We provided underground and surface parking spaces to meet the code requirements. The challenge of this project is to design with the steep slope of the site and work with the gradation to make it interactive with the pedestrians, but at the same time maintaining the slope for the vehicles.

1.2 NEW WORLD TECHNOLOGIES Architect: SK Architect Inc. Location: Abbotsford, BC Programs: Industrial Role: Assist in Feild reviews Phases: Prepare IFC Set, Material research, Interior Design, Presentation, Field review.

This building is proposed to be renovated to house the manufacturing facility of Rad Torque New World Technologies, a leading manufacturer which makes torque guns for industrial use. With a 66,000 SF of building area, the client brief included the design of administrative offices and industrial manufacturing base. The floor layout consists of large open machining and assembly space, two floors of office space and engineering labs. Considerations were made using the existing external envelope and the open web steel joist roof system. All the existing concrete walls were retained and the new layout was planned around them. The main structural system remains the same with minimal interventionons made to construct an additional floor. At a later stage, we also designed the interiors of the administrative area in compliance with the client’s request for a ‘Rustic’ theme. Being a part of three people team, there were great learning opportunities. My role involved assisting with IFC set and interior designing.

1.3 THE MARKET Architect: SK Architect Inc. Location: Hope, BC Programs: Commercial TI Role: Project Lead Project Lead, Site supervision, Project Coordinator

Section facing the Market

Phases: Programming, SD, BP Set, Code Research.

This is a tenant improvement project in Hope, BC. It is a corner lot of the historic art community and a small touristic town with logging history, trading post, first nation history and chainsaw carvings. The project is an amulgation of a bakery with small kiosks, and food trucks. This was a space to be for locals as well as the tourists to brings forth the strong aura of the community. The interior space demanded for a rustic look based on the community’s charachter. This project is a multi tenant development giving a sense of a community.

1.4 MEDIPURE PHARMACEUTICALS Architect: SK Architect Inc. Location: Burnaby, BC Programs: Pharmaceutical R&D, TI Role: Project Lead, Site supervision, Project Coordinator Phases: Programming, SD,DD, BP Set, Code Research, Field review report, IFC Set, Specification Writing

This project is a Tenant Improvement of an approximately 34,000 ft2 unit within an existing building for Medipure Pharmaceutical, who focus primarily on discovery, research and formulation of cannabinoid derived therapeutic drugs. The intended use for the facility is as a small-scale research and development facility for pharmaceutical drugs. The project is going to be completed in 2 phases, and is currently in Phase 0 which includes demolition of interior partition walls within the leased units. The Phase 1 includes the construction of few labs, Vault (Security Level 8), offices, and IT department. They will need a partial occupancy at this stage while the project moves into the construction of Phase 2. Phase 2 involves the construction of Cleanrooms (Approx. 8000 ft2) and that need to be Health Canada certified for ISO Level 7 or 8.

1.5 VAUGHAN METROPOLITAN CENTRE Architect: IBI Group Location: Vaughan, ON Programs: Mixed-use Tower Role: Prepared drawings for SPA Submission Phases: Programming, SD, Presentation.

Vaughan Metropolitan Center is a revolutionizing project for Vaughan, which is the next upcoming Metropolitan city in Ontario. I was a part of the team led by one of the directors of the firm. The project is a mixed-use development, with the podium, the central pedestrian mews being one of the main attractions, and consists of four residential towers. There were a lot of challenges and research that was involved to come up with an aesthetic design as well as functional. The design revolved around attracting pedestrians to make it a succesful and interactive space. While making it public considerations were made to maintain the safety and privacy of the residents. There were many amenities provided for the residents of the towers.

2.1 CENTRE FOR IMMIGRANTS AND COMMUNITY HUB Project Type: M.Arch - 2017 Location: Cambridge, ON Program: Comprehensive Design Studio CICH, the Centre for Immigrants and Community Hub is a welcoming place for immigrants and refugees in the downtown area of Galt, Cambridge, ON. The community center provides services to help the Immigrants bind with the locals, building a community and creating a sense of home. Porosity in the structure is what helps to create spaces that allow the feeling of openess and welcoming. It helps maintain the visual conectivity, which in return help people understand the fuctionality and the programme of the spaces making it a community.

2.2 MELANGE Project Type: Theatre, Communal Square and Market Location: Toronto, ON Program: Urban Design, Communal Square (Origin from French mélange, from mêler ‘to mix.’) Promote medley of the inter-cultural population with the contrast mix of varied architectural elements. The site chosen was seen as appropriate to build a cultural center with a market hall creating a mix of programs. One of the primary design elements is the ramp that binds the whole project together, making it directly accessible by the

street. The design promotes to activate the street edges with multiple stores, children’s play area comprising of daycares, indoor games, library. The theatres

on the second floor are accessible from both the square and the riverside. Three theatres made of concrete that tilt out from the glass box create contrast in its ideas and materiality, making it a significant element that projects these screens onto the central square drawing in people from surrounding areas. It could also become a part of the Toronto International Film Festival where people could gather and activate the central square and the market hall.

The city of Chicago is one of the largest cities in the United States

of America and has a long history as a manufacturing hub. Over the last fifty years, Chicago’s role as a manufacturing Centre has declined. This decline has led to job loss and significant erosion of urban fabric. The city gets divided due to both economic and

economically disadvantaged neighborhoods do not have access to fresh food produce, causing chronic health issues and contribute to the decline of both social and urban fabric. This thesis explores the role of urban farming in rehabilitating

neglected neighborhoods, exploring a systemic approach across a range of different scales. This thesis envisions repurposing empty lots in the Southside of Chicago. The idea is to introduce prototypes of urban farming and sustainable energy production. The scale ranges from singlefamily home lots to industrial lots. The thesis

2.4 DECODING PATTERN LANGUAGE A pattern language defines the relationship between each pattern. Project Type: Vocational College, Pedestrian Mews Location: Toronto, ON Program: Urban Design, Communal Square “Each pattern is a three-part rule, which expresses a relation between a certain context, a problem, and a solution” The proposal is a Vocational school for people a community that struggles to get an education. In this competitive world an education in the interested field gives them grounding to make their place in the industry. The architectural language of the project was to reveal these spaces based on the communal to private spaces. It is to welcome the community with amphitheatre spaces while giving glimpses throughout the street into the schools. SITE PLAN
