STUDIO AWAY Tucked away in 18 mile bay, situated along the French River lies Studio Away, a place for people to enjoy and experience nature. The atelier is designed as an educational environment that caters to architecture students during the summer months. The buildings design principles follow simple construction methods, passive design and versatile spatial composition. Exposed structural members and basic construction assembly allow students to learn about the building and how it was assembled. The atelier can function as two separate spaces for different group activities or join together as one large space to accommodate a larger group of people where meetings and gatherings can take place.

18 Mile bay features Cambrian Shield Rock; a combination of layered rocks that have been joined by erosion including sedimentary and bedrock. The sites solid ground eliminates the need for footings and excessive digging in order to lay the buildings foundation. It’s home to a variety of undisturbed flora and fauna that can only be found outside urban areas in Ontario. The site sits in close proximity to the route 64 highway and the small town of Alban making it easy to access during the summer, and gather supplies if needed. The site offers exceptional views of the bay and the surrounding landscape.

THE SMOKE HOUSE Along Kenwood Ave and Lakeshore Road lies The Smoke House. The Smoke House is a live-work townhome that was designed to accommodate a family of four, which includes two adults and their two children. The goal of the Smoke House was to reflect the family’s passion for the culinary arts and photography. The father works as a chef and the mother is a photographer. During the summer months the family enjoys entertaining guests and family members where they host large cooking events and gatherings. The design philosophy behind the Smoke House was that it be a catalyst for entertainment and fit the day to day life of the family.

PORTLAND COMMUNITY THEATRE The Portland Community Theatre is a central hub dedicated to the theatrical arts. It is a community center that respects its surrounding context and blends with the urban fabric, playing off qualities of the site. The design of the community theatre dealt with transparency and light. Using polycarbonate panels and a perforated stainless steel facade, the building is able to reflect light off the street and passing vehicles during the evening while filtering out the harsh western sun during the afternoon. The main theatre itself is versatile with retractable seating allowing for a variety of events with an adjacent courtyard for summer activities.

SITE
The Neigbourhood Located in the southwest end of Toronto’s downtown, the Fashion District is home to a variety of bars, restaurants and clothing stores making it a desirable place for young professionals.
Night Club Restaurant Bar Park Transit
Circulation The site sits near a busy rail line and street. However the rail line has little impact due to existing buildings that block views and sound from the track.
Cars Trains
Sensory The site is exposed to western light and has exceptional views of the park and the city. Its location near a busy street meant that sound proofing was a high priority in the buildings design.

THE GREENE THE GREENE PROJECT PROJECT Located in Davisville, Toronto The Greene Project, done for a family of three was typical of many urban yards. Worn and overgrown, the space had no reason to be used or enjoyed. The goal of the Greene Project was to create space for the family to entertain, relax, grow, and cater to wildlife such as local birds and bees. From design to finish the project took eleven days. Plants were chosen based off of sunlight conditions, spatial hierarchy, and environmental sustainability. Hardscaping, such as patios and retaining walls were incorporated while maintaining the original features of the existing garden in order to stay within budget.

The planter defines space between the patio and the clothes rack area. Cheap yet durable materials were chosen such as concrete masonry units in order to stay within budget. Blocks were laid in a stack bond pattern to create an asthetically pleasing and contemporary planter.
