INSTRUCTORS: KURT ESPERSON-PETERS & NICOLETTE LAYNE
The goal of this project was to transform the Granite Curling Club into a library of our choice. The final design was called Cornucopia. Cornucopia is a space dedicated to supply an abundance of knowledge about Winnipeg. The space is meant to inform patrons through the use of books and lecturers. We often forget all the positive things that have happened in the past and that are currently happening in our city. The environment pays an ode to the original character of the building and historic details, with a little care, light and re purposing.
As a class we were tasked to connect our concepts back to Mary Oliver’s A Poetry Handbook. The mirroring of some of the historic design elements remaining unchanged mimic an off-rhyme. Something that is similar, but not exactly the same

EVIE 4010 - STUDIO 4.2 - NATURE/NORDIC CENTRE
INSTRUCTORS: JASON SHIELDS & UMID ABDULLAEVUNDISCLOSED
Undisclosed is a 485 m² exhibit and event space that displays the history of the covered waterways in Winnipeg and the evolution of pollution in the Red River. The exhibit space is convertible into an event space on the ground floor for lectures and workshops. There are both fixed and non-fixed displays all along the ground floor to continue the confrontation of information no matter the use of the space. Undisclosed provides walking tours in the winter along the river and throughout downtown Winnipeg in the summer. The space also features a speakeasy with a menu that caters to the theme of pollution and destruction, with an elegant twist. The door to the speakeasy appears to be a mirror which forces the user to reflect on themselves and the exhibit above before entering the decadent dining space.
The location of the project is currently known as Cibo on Waterfront Drive. The demographic in the area includes people on opposite ends of the socio-economic spectrum. There are people living in million-dollar condos and people living on the streets. The decaying site plan and the harsh exhibition displays in contrast to the luxurious interior finishes confront and exaggerate that reality. Scan the QR code to see a video of the space.

FREELANCE WORK
5TH STREET PROJECT
The 5th Street Project included helping clients pick finishes and furniture and designing their living room fireplace/ entertainment unit for their home. The home was designed and built by 330 Development and Construction. The farmhouse style of the house needed to be continuous in its finishes. Key materials like shiplap and wood helped communicate that vision. One of the major considerations for this project was picking quality furniture that was neutral enough for future design styles and considering the longevity of the materials.
44
Providing drawings for the clients helped with communicating the potential finishes of the space. The added visual element made the process quicker and smoother when attending finish and fixture showrooms with the clients. The fireplace was a custom design that featured an odd number of shelves, as requested by the clients, and tied in with the finishes of both the interior and exterior of the home.

MICHIGAN PROJECT
Michigan Project was a personal project done for my mom. The project had a tight deadline because it was a surprise renovation and she was only away on vacation for a week. The overall goal was to create a serene, peaceful space that she could enjoy using. The project included learning how to install, patch and paint drywall. The mirror that can be seen in the “before” photos was set into the wall and needed to be replaced with GWB.

BRICK PROJECT
The Brick Project is still in progress. The design goals for client include, a new deck on the exterior, a walk-in shower in the bathroom and a new entertainment unit that included two screens. The client also wants some new furniture to make the space feel a bit more complete.
This project allows me to explore design aspects that I am less familiar with. Because of the deck build, I have to consider exterior design opportunities such as the vehicular circulation, the site and parking space.

WOODCHESTER PROJECT
The Woodchester Project was a residential refresh project. The clients wanted to give their space a new look, without changing the footprint or key features of the room. I achieved these goals for the clients by refacing the fireplace, changing it to gas and creating a mantel with a piece of wood from their dad’s workshop. After a few design iterations, the clients settled on a design that kept the integrity of the wood mantle and the overall structure of the original fireplace, while giving it a modern update. In addition to refacing the mantel, the clients also decided on new paint and flooring.
