Dear Sir or Madam,
I am pleased to recommend Hannah Carmichael for the position of student intern or junior designer at your company. As a Senior Architect at Leroy Street Studio, I was Hannah’s direct supervisor while we put together the interior design development package for a 24,000 square feet retreat house in New York. She came in at the last three months of an intense design and drawing process and contributed a great deal on completing our set. During this time, she demonstrated her sincerity to design, quick adaptation of new CAD and 3d programs, a strong commitment to her tasks, a cheerful and positive energy, and good team work. She enjoyed sketching through options, studying details and going through materials to develop the space and the objects with in the space. She brought fresh eyes to the project and I was happy to see how the project matured during our time togather. Some of the tasks, such as putting together the kitchen plan and elevation drawings that correctly represented our design and functions of the kitchen, were beyond her level, but she learned each process quickly. She successfully completed the kitchen package by following directions, asking questions, and applying what she learned to the next level and did not get frustrated by the review and redesign process to get the details correct. She was very pleasant to work with. For all of these reasons, I do not hesitate to say that Hannah will be a fine intern for your company. Should you have any questions, please contact me at the number below. You may also contact Marc Turkel who was the partner in charge for the project .
Sincerely,
Arom Jeon

THIRD YEAR DESIGN STUDIO
A MASTER PLAN FOR FINCH w/ Ethan Duffey, Jacob Drung, Jing Lao After a comprehensive study of Toronto’s history of housing projects and masterplans the studio was tasked with proposing a plan for the Finch and Keele intersection in Toronto, a site presenting jarring contrasts between the large industrial lots adjacent mid century cul de sacs. Our team prioritized the disection of lot sizes, block porosity, and program diversification to develop a basis for urban evolution rather than the still frame of a utopic vision.

8m Flagpole shaped lots form from sale of subdivided lots due to high inheritance tax in 1980s Japan. A viable strategy for building in the midblock emerges.
Block sizes and frontage create active street face as the Building typology changes whether or not it faces a street or avenue; larger lots and buildings are along avenues.
Interior small lots protected by L/U shaped large lots, introduces small streets running through the block to promote a ‘neighborhood’ atmosphere (vs ‘fortress’ housing project).
Solid, mid-rise perimeter facing the street, with select intersection paths. Forms interior courtyard condition with unique internal lot structure. Combination of mid and low rise buildings creates an active streetscape.

built form Each block is to have 3 different types of building. This physical mix is to accommodate social, economic, and programmatic mix in order to create a diverse neighborhood.
4
green and open space Public parks are visually or physically connected across the site, creating the sense of expansiveness while remaining intimately framed by built form.

lots Lot sizes determined by frontage on facing streets - smaller lots face smaller streets and vice versa. The mid-block is to be in-filled with flagpole lots.

streets and blocks Diverse street types used to carve out grid blocks with unique edge conditions.

zoning Zoning should be a gradient, not a mosaic. Employment and light industry are to be preserved on the site while residential and commercial uses are superimposed on top.

THIRD YEAR DESIGN STUDIO
A PRODUCTIVE PODIUM. PRODUCT OF PREVIOUS MASTERPLAN DIVVY aims to rigorously explore the fine grain lot methodolgy that aids in the creation and longevity of a diverse street face and skyline. The sustainability of the fabric relies on the blocks ability to adapt to the site’s evolving needs while policing resource accessibility and homogenous sprawl/program isolation. Through the continued analysis of lot typologies, DIVVY nods to West 8’s Sporenburg masterplan. This masterplan achieved diversity in form as well as diversity in evolution of form by creating a hierarchy of time/turnover. This is most obvious in the ‘staple/sculptural’ buildings they place every few blocks to act as the root of the block, a more permanent fixture to influence future growth. DIVVY focuses on the design of the ‘staple’ building of it’s block. The design of this building is focused on maximizing the flexibility of a permanent structure without sacrificing lasting beauty and programmatic/formal nuances for “something that can be used for everything is - at the end of the day - not used for anything at all.” (Jacques Herzog) The following drawings illustrate the structural, programmatic, and formal hierarchy used to produce lasting piece of flexibile architecture.

SECOND YEAR DESIGN STUDIO
A PUBLIC PARK FOR PLAY. SHRED THE PARK began as an exploration of how public spaces could become healthier, productive and democratic by promoting the ‘collective right’ to remake/make, use and belong. In order to achieve a public space that engages it’s a user in ways evolve the parks form and topography in tandem with the publics interests, a framework of infrastructure was designed to create opportunities for the appropriation of space .

SECOND YEAR DESIGN STUDIO
SUPPORTIVE HOUSING FOR WOMEN. KONA is supportive housing for women and their children from vulnerable backgrounds of housing insecurity, financial insecurity, drug abuse, or domestic abuse. The project transitions the women to secure and sustainable livelihoods and programmatically and architecturally empowers women and children through adventure, leadership positions, liberative conditions, autonomy, and collective celebrations of one another.

CHILDREN + WOMEN FOR GENDER EQUALITY 5
independent living Units are primarily accessed from the outdoor circulation corridor to provide autonomous means of access .
4
celebrated domesticity Common spaces acting as bridges between units with shared laundry and larger play spaces to allow mothers to aid one another in child care.
3
responsive child care Emphasizing mutual respect, cultivation and appreciation of nature, community engagement and a celebration of the many languages children speak in order to develop them as divergent thinkers, active members of their community.
2
proactive recovery The programs for women work radially out towards the community from the central courtyard. Continuing counselling, they also take on leadership roles in the community that celebrate their current set of skills and develop new and employable ones. Workshops are run by the women for the community based off their skills whether it be dance, coding, textiles or accounting. The next step street face commercial space where these skills are made profitable in a business venture run and managed by the women.
1
liberated circulation The adventurous and playful quality of the architecture, specifically the circulation, aims to liberate both women and child in their movement, imagination, and curiosity, so that their transition is far from institutional but rather sets a new standard for how the home and community may allow you to think divergently, feel deeply, and act freely.
