Redesign William Tutte Way William Tutte Way, Waterloo, ON N2L 3G1 University of Waterloo Mian Campus Roles: Design new GSC building, public arts and Landcape area, Rendered site plan, SketchUp model built, final rendering pictures

The new William Tutte Way will provide an innovative gateway to the University of Waterloo‘s main campus from the new GRT transit hub. The proposed design will prioritize pedestrianization and provide people with an active social haven to de-stress, interact, and mingle. This will be achieved through alternative paving, an all seasons lounge area, and improved lighting to emulate comfort and a sense of welcoming.

The new building will use the colour orange as it is one of the important colours representing the University of Waterloo. The proposed building will be covered by window so the students and staff will have a bright view of the street while they study and work in building.

Public art will located at the entrance of the site, which is designed with eight plastic cylinders representing the eight different faculties and housing. The type of plastic used will allow for the cylinders to be easily repainted so as to remover add new shades in the future if there is any change in the faculty’s colous.

The paving is designed to slow down the traffic, for safety purposes. For lighting, the site will combine streetlights and pot lights that provide a radiant atmosphere and will benifit people during the evening.

The drop-off points will be located at the entrance and the middle of the site, which will convenient for people and food/ grabage cars to pick up and drop off.

The study space that in front of Davis Center, will inspire through wooden seats, with the ability to recline, making them comfortable to lounge on and for people to do work in the innovative study space. Moreover, the design also incorporates an all-seasons social interaction area, which will be located beside the GSC building and will make the outside social area useable during the winter by using street heaters.

The public art beside study area is designed with previous mathematical instruments such as triangles and rulers, to remember a professor in Faculty of Mathematics, named William Tutte.

Redesign 70 King Street North 70 King Street North, Waterloo, ON Roles: Building and landscape design, Site plan, SketchUp model built, final rendering The plans for 70 King Street North in Uptown Waterloo, Ontario, Canada will consist of a five storey mixed use building, a one storey commercial use building, and an accompanying parking facility. The ground level of the five-storey building is planned for commercial use that will take up a total area of 10763.9 ft2 (1000 m2), while the upper floors are to be constructed into 16 condominium units, distributed into 4 units per floor. Each unit is made up of five bedrooms, with each bedroom containing an ensuite bathroom. Forty-three ground parking spots have been provided behind the building adjacent to Bridgeport Road and Regina Street to meet the requirements of the City of Waterloo’s Zoning By-Law (1108). This By-Law specifies a minimum of 2.15 and 1 parking spaces for every 100 square meters of commercial and residential space respectively.

New Apartment Building

Rendered by V-Ray & Photoshop The design of the building consists of several design principles.

The axis begins from the pedestrian street and continues to the front of the building. Green spaces and a coffee shop are located surrounding the main axis. The design is unified and symmetrical because the building uses the same yellow colour and window shape on both the right and left side. The rhythm in the usage of material and colour also lands a sense of unity and stability to the building. Diversity is added through the usage of grey square boxes between first and second floor and black long black strips on residential floors. The site plan also intends to create a sense of place by placing a water fountain that acts as the focal point at the center of the green spaces to draw attention from passersby.

Several picnic tables are set up beside the fountain to provide a public space that encourages interactions between residents.

People living in the area can easily enjoy their coffee and afternoon snacks in the picnic tables. The open area provides a place for people to slow down from their daily routine and to relax in nature.

Landscape garden

Rendered by 3DS Max & Photoshop The site plan follows performance standards strictly and considers the sustainability, accessibility, interactivity, and aesthetical appeal of the community. The design of the rooftop recreational garden aims to achieve sustainability by incorporating plants that absorb storm-water and heat to reduce energy consumption of air conditioning on hot days and to store water run-off on days with heavy rainfall. The design of the parapet on the edge of the rooftop is another effective way to prevent storm water run-off as well as the spread of fire. The rooftop garden will also be a great place for people to socialize. The site plan also considers the needs of disabled individuals through the integration of accessible routes. All walking surfaces will consist a running slope not steeper than 1:20 that aims to help improve accessibility for people that are disabled or impaired. The site is aesthetically pleasing as the colours implemented in the building are unified. The selection of tree species is well thought out to provide colours in every season to help bring more liveliness to the community.
