Downtown Residential Rhinoceros 5 // V-Ray Photoshop // Illustrator Lasercutting In Partnership with Bohdana Innes Sudbury, Ontario 2019

The Downtown Residential Project is located in the Downtown of Sudbury. This proposition is meant to support and create diversity in the Downtown Community. In attracting a new demographic of families while also supporting the commercial setting of businessmen and young adults. The project also attempts to support the reinvention of the mining city to a more sustainable place through adding green spaces that also act as social spaces.

The courtyard area is meant to provide this sort of gathering space to create an active street level. In creating the form of the building, we wanted to create this balance of public and privacy for residents, while also being a more enclosed space that allows a more family friendly atmosphere, in juxtapose to the surroundings. This atmosphere also needed natural daylighting for the courtyard and its apartments.

Private Like the greenery of the outdoor space, lighting is used to indicate public spaces during the night time. Spot lighting is used to highlight greenwalls, being the elevators and staircases, while recessed lighting is used to indicate the landscaping and seating.

The Art Museum Project is located in the Downtown of Sudbury. There is a dominant street art culture often uses purgatorial spaces such as alleyways and parking lots as their canvas. These large-scale murals create interest in areas that are generally forgotten. The art museum proposed is meant to highlight these forgotten spaces through creating focus in these areas and use this motif through adding art throughout many transitional areas.

Little Italy Market Rhinoceros 5 // V-ray Photoshop // Illustrator Lasercutting Individual Sudbury, Ontario 2017
Axo with context
This project is located inside in an intimate community inside Copper Cliff. This proposition is meant to draw local tourism while also affirming the culture dominant in the area. The project uses an abandoned building that provides this connection to the community. The creation of a local market and diner is meant to be a medium for the community to show and invite locals around the area. Locals area able to use this to sell and interact with people outside the community and share their stories.

Kivi Park Pavilion Rhinoceros 5 // V-ray Photoshop // Illustrator Lasercutting Individual Sudbury, Ontario 2017
Exploded Axo
Kivi Park has a culture of hiking and walking during the summer and snowshoeing and skiing during the winter. The open fields allow a space for people to host recreational activities such as sports. In response to the programming of the space, I propose structures that are able to be rented in correlation to the recreational activities hosted and rental shop to support the trails of the forest. These structures are molded by the bald spots of the forest to reduce the human intervention while also engulfing space with trees, acting as both a wind buffer during the winter and shade during the summer

Winter Pavillion Rhinoceros 5 // Woodworking Design-Build Semester Group // Guided by Randall Kober Sudbury, Ontario 2016
Picture of Build
The Winter Pavilions introduced and gave us experience to design build projects that the McEwen School of Architecture specializes in. In this case, these pavilions provide a landmark and a point of interest for visitors who come and skate in Ramsey Lake during the winter. These provided spaces to rest and sit down, allowing a centralized focus of the lake and in turn create a program that allowed vendors to sell warm beverages and provide interest for people to visit.

Ljoma Nuit Blanche Rhinoceros 5 // Woodworking Design-Build In Partnership with Alexander Scali // With help from Kostya and Lila Sudbury, Ontario 2018
Picture of Installation
The ljรณma creates a glow that invites people to gather around. The emulation of a fire juxtaposes the natural aspect of the uniform man-made structure. This glow betrays itself by its lack of warmth. This contrast becomes the idea of the bright lamps and the dark night of Nuit Blanche.

Akira Re-imagination Rhinoceros 5 // V-ray Graphic Design// Rendering Individual Tokyo, Japan 2019
Axo
The Akira project was the reimagination of the cult classic movie and manga created by Katsuhiro Otomo. The muse of the project created a dystopian and overpopulated Tokyo, creating land and space in the Tokyo Bay. This paralleled the ideas of architect Kenzo Tange and the floating city. It came from a brutalist industrial time that is superimposed by Otomo in his manga and movie.
