As Principal Architect at SUSTAINABLE.TO, I am pleased to provide a letter of recommendation on behalf of Gregorio Jimenez. Gregorio worked at SUSTAINABLE.TO From August 2017 to March 2018. SUSTAINABLE.TO is an internationally recognized collaborative architecture firm specializing in healthy, affordable, and energy-efficient design and demonstrates that   sustainability is simple.

During Gregorio's time with us he participated on a variety of projects ranging from single-family residential, multi-unit residential, and large-scale institutional, with BIM modelling (Revit).   Additionally, Gregorio participated on design charrettes, assisted on energy modelling   research, and created presentation as a member of the team.

Gregorio was well liked by all of his co-workers. He worked independently and was also

team-oriented and worked collaboratively. He remained positive, even during times of stress   and was a pleasure to have around.

Gregorio demonstrated a great attitude and was a pleasure to work with. Please feel free to contact me if you need any additional information

Sincerely,

Paul Dowsett Principal Architect OAA, MRAIC, LEED AP CanPHI Passive House Planner Congress for The New Urbanism Advocate

PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE

YWCA HAMILTON Location: Hamilton, Ontario Project Type: Passive House Architecture Firm: Kearns Mancini Architects Completion: Under Construction Role: Detailing & Construction Documents

Render outsourced

The YWCA project is a modern, innovative and energy efficient Passive House design, making it highly sustainable and optimized for the next 100 years. The 6 storey building will include 50 one, two, and three bedroom units. 15 of which will be dedicated to women with developmental disabilities. I was brought onto the project because of my familiarity with Passive House design and my background in construction. My primary role was to draw the interior and exterior construction details which included: stairs, washrooms, partitions, penetrations, foundation, windows & doors etc. My focus was on the detailing of Passive House junctures. Passive House details are important junctures in a Passive House project because they must be detailed carefully to eliminate any potential thermal bridges. A project with thermal bridges is likely to fail passive house certification because of the heat loss associated with thermal bridges. This project proposed a unique solution to optimize the elimination of thermal bridges. By utilizing precast insulated wall panels, the job constructing and detailing important junctures is made easier and the construction process made faster.

These passive house details were completed by Gregorio Jimenez on Revit.

PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE

OSSTF HEADQUARTERS Location: Toronto, Ontario Project Type: Architecture & Master Planning Firm: Sustainable.to Completion: In progress Role: Feasibility studies, master planning research, concept design, design development

Site Perspective

The Ontario Secondary Students Teachers Federation (OSSTF) headquarters is situated on an 11 acre institutional campus located in an emerging urban node in north Toronto. The project scope is a 20 year multi-phase master planing that incorporates urban design practices and advanced sustainable building metric (Living building challenge) for the redevelopment of the existing institutional campus into a mixed use community. Phase 1 explored the feasibility of the redevelopment and the coordination of multiple stakeholders. Phase 2 required an addition and retrofit of the existing headquarters utilizing sustainable design strategies. My primary role for the project was as the Revit modeler responsible for all architectural documentation, as well as assisting in feasibility research and documentation, master planning and concept design through charettes and collaborative design -all under the guidance of architects Paul Dowsett and Steve Socha.

Location: Ontario, Canada Project Type: Commercial Firm: Kearns Mancini Architects Completion: Various, On-going Role: Construction Documents

Farro Laser Scanner Hardware: FARO 330X

Hilcrest BMO -laser scan

My experience at KMA has given me the opportunity to work on many Bank of Montreal (BMO) projects throughout Ontario, Canada. This experience has given me a practical understanding of the type of work required at all phases of a construction project. From feasibility and pre-design to tender, construction documents and contract administration. At KMA I was trained to operate laser scanning technology in order to accurately and precisely capture the existing conditions of a project. I then take the laser scan information and create a base Revit model where the team comes up with a concept design. My primary role on BMO projects is Laser scanning and construction documents for permit, tender, and construction on Revit. Within this role there is a great deal of coordinating with consultants (Mechanical, Electrical, Structural, etc) and with the client. Under the supervision of the project managers at KMA, I have continuously advanced skill and responsibility on all projects.

Exterior photo

Located at the Base of Mt. Tolmie in Victoria, British Columbia, the Mt. Tolmie Tiny House is the flagship Tiny House model for Island Life Tiny Homes. The project is a response to the recent rise in real estate prices rendering housing unaffordable across major cities in Canada. The home is a modern update to the vernacular barn, a timeless archetype of a shelter bringing both a feeling of warmth, a sense of home, and an aesthetic appeal. Its design challenges the stereotype of a mobile home that is affiliated with a low quality of life, poverty, and temporary inhabitation. As many jurisdictions have minimum square footage requirements it is hard to build homes so small. However, since the dwelling sits on wheels it is not classified as a house allowing it to be built under the minimum square footage. Green aspects of the design include size efficiency, the use of reclaimed materials, cross ventilation and operable windows, as well as a hook-up for solar panels.

OJO NORTE (STRAW BALE HOUSE) Location: North Bay, Ontario Members: Future Living Lab team Budget: $175,000 Completion: January 2018 Role: Co-designer / Permit Drawing Set Draftsperson / Thermal analysis Media: https://www.futurelivinglab.ca/

Truth Window

Ojo Norte is the inaugural project coming from the Future Living Lab (FLL). FLL is a student-run innovation lab where creative ideas come to life. Sustainable design strategies were established early on as the guiding principles for the design of this 1200 square foot house located in North Bay, Ontario. As a result, an innovative approach on traditional Straw Bale construction was conceived. We conceptualized and designed Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) made from Straw Bale with consultation from Blackwell Engineering. The Straw Bale SIPs address 3 major issues presented by the client; an economically feasible way for rapid deployment and construction, high insulation values (R-33) for a Northern climates and maintaining a low embodied energy for the building materials used to build the house. Ojo Norte is an example of how students from different disciplines can come together to collaborate in an effort to create a sustainable future.

In order to comply with the Ontario Building Code energy standard SB-12, it was required to conduct a thermal analysis of the structural straw bale panel (SIP). Using building science software I was able to determine that the SIP panels reached an R-value of 33, exceeding the requirements by 15% and thus meeting code requirements.

SCARBOROUGH HOME RENOVATION Location: 109 South Woodrow Blvd. Project Type: Design + Build Budget: $180,000 Completion: September 2014 Role: Designer / Carpenter / Contractor

Finished Deck

Finished Kitchen

This was a complete renovation of the interior and exterior of a 3 storey home. All design, fabrication, construction, and carpentry was completed by Gregorio Jimenez. This 3 floor renovation introduced natural materials, textures and opened up the space. Load bearing walls were removed to introduce more natural light, increase circulation, and give the impression of a larger space within the original footprint. This open concept kitchen is built on top of the whimsical and resilient Ipe hardwood flooring. It features custom cabinetry made of hardwood Cherry with custom acid-stained concrete counter tops. The back splash is made of vibrant yellow Mexican Talavera tiles with decorative accents. New millwork and electrical round off the transformation and gives off a contemporary yet rustic charm. The deck is a split level structure that creates a visual continuity between indoor and outdoor spaces, retaining line of sight into the garden area and beyond.

Interior-exterior connection: the addition of the multitiered exterior living space was designed to add spatial layers to the architectural organization of the home, and allow the client to create flexible social spaces that extend beyond the interior living space. The mass of the exterior living space was broken up vertically, creating a secondary exterior living space which was demarcated with the addition of a pergola.

TORONTO PARKLET Location: Elm Street, Toronto, Ontario Project Type: Design + Fabrication Members: Jason Glionna, Joana Benin, John Benner, Gregorio Jimenez, Tess MacPherson, Diana Sobaszek Project Advisor: Vincent Hui Completion: June 2017 Role: Designer / Carpenter / Fabricator Media: https://www.archdaily.com/ undulating-walkway-using-a-modular-wooden-bench

Parklet

Toronto Parklet 2017 represents one of the first times design and function have successfully come together on the streets of Toronto. The design features Accoya wood that undulates in a graceful manner from end to end. Accoya was chosen due to its ability to repel water, along with its strength and elegant grain. In order to achieve this natural undulation, each piece of wood was rounded in a concave and convex manner and then attached side-by-side to form layers. The Parklet has been designed in 50cm modules allowing for it to be easily stored, reused, and reconfigured. The result is an inviting space for pedestrians to sit, relax, and enjoy their meal or the weather. Toronto Parklet fits in perfectly on vibrant Elm Street with its glowing LEDs and light wood material matching the softly lit trees that line the sidewalks. Moving forward, Toronto Parklet aims to be the building block and inspiration for future Parklets to come.

Modularity played a key role in the design of the Parklet to allow multiple uses throughout its lifespan.` The structure is divided into multiple components, making it easier for it to be stored away during the wintertime. These components can also be added or subtracted from the Parklet in order to customize its size based on parking spots.

MODULAR SEQUENCE DIAGRAM

The form was subdivided into a sequence of modules for ease of construction and transportation. Each of the modules are 500mm in length, and are screwed to each other and the supporting platform. There were over 5000 unique pieces that had to be tracked and accounted for, by using Rhino grasshopper and other digital tools to keep everything organized.

Hale Coffee Opening day

The Hale Coffee Shop is located in the Junction neighborhood of Toronto. We were asked by the Toronto-based roasters to design the interior of their new cafe and coffee roasting facility. Wood became the prevalent material, from the Cherry counter tops to the undulating wood feature wall counter fronts. We took advantage of the high ceiling space, creating a dynamic 2x2 modular ceiling installation around the existing mechanical system. The initial visit to the coffee shop presented an empty canvas filled with opportunities. Originally, the schematic design aimed to create a bright and lively atmosphere, complimented by a light colour palette. The design processes involved multiple meetings with the clients where ideas were shared and a framework for collaboration was established. A darker colour scheme proved preferable, creating a warm and cozy environment. The entire cafe was built from scratch, from the ceiling fixtures right down to the furniture. This amazing feat could not have been possible without the enthusiastic efforts of both the roasters and the numerous volunteers.

The Faculty of Engineering and Architectural Science Ryerson University Attention: Dr. Thomas Duever, P.Eng., FCIC tom.duever@ryerson.ca Dear Dr. Duever, My husband Michael and I recently made the decision to build our own home. Our goal was to be as energy efficient as possible, utilize our local resources and keep it simple enough to maintain into our golden years. We have friends who built their sustainable home completely off grid, using a wide range of current technology. It was challenging for them, as they found few professionals with experience or understanding of what they were trying to achieve, resulting in a lot of trial and error as they designed their own systems. Ongoing, it requires a great deal of management. We did not want the same experience. We shared our plans with a colleague and architect, Mark Driedger of ATA (Architects), who told us about a Ryerson program in Building Sciences that may be able to provide input on our proposed design. Through Mark, we connected with Dr. Ramani Ramakrishanan and the 15 students in Spring 2017 BSC820 class at Ryerson University. Michael, myself and our project manager met with the class 3 times over the duration of the project. The first time was to present our vision, the second was a progress review (where the students proved our original ideas were not the best option) and the third, a final presentation. We cannot express how rewarding this experience has been. We trust the design to ATA (Architects), but it was the opportunity to gain an understanding of building science that made the difference. We had done our own research but it was through the student’s research, modelling and recommendations that we were able to make informed decisions on how this house should be built. Form followed function. From the original design, the experience of this process reoriented the house and greatly improved the efficiency and R value of the wall and roof assemblies. Michael was previously convinced the wall should be a ‘remote system’, but based on the student’s energy consumption comparison, we are now going with a closed cell spray foam assembly. The introduction of a roof shade requirement has created one of our favourite features of the house. The class ultimately achieved a Net Zero number of 80 without the solar panels and the net zero number increase to more than 90 with solar panels. Understanding why you do what you do is key. Because of BSC820, we are confidant moving forward with this build. It will be new technology for a number of the local trades we will be working with for this build, but they are intrigued and excited. We hope to break ground this summer and move in for Christmas 2017. Deanne Christie, OALA CSLA and Michael Burke Senior Associate l BAKER TURNER INC. deannec@bakerturner.com
