A little about myself... I am currently a second year student at the University of Waterloo School of Architecture. I was raised in Northern Ontario in a town with a population less than a thousand. I have been surrounded and influenced by the northern environment my entire life. I spend my time fishing, hunting, biking and enjoying the great outdoors. I am hard working, self driven and always like a good challenge. I am fluent in English and French. I have gained valuable knowledge and experience while being a part of the team at Evans Bertrand Hill Wheeler Architecture. Thank you for taking your own time to view my portfolio.

The intent of the project was to design a temporary dwelling in which an artist of choice would live in for several months. The site is a ridge overlooking a lake, a centralized program allows for windows along the perimeter. Inspired by a boat dock off-site, the house floats above the ground as a dock does over water. And like a dock, the house ends abruptly with a view out to infinity. The materials used for the model composed primarily of wood. Laminated sheets of plywood made up the topography. Basswood for the structure of the house and thin strips of dark veneer as window frames. All the drafting was done by hand. sketch

The goal is to design a structure that creates a passage and would affect the user of that space, it should have a beginning, middle and end. The approach was to create spaces where light becomes the subject of the passage and the user is directed by its different intensities. The minimalist design allows for the use of simple shapes and forms to create transitions of compression and expansion. The entrance acts like a vortex sucking the user in and leaving them curious to find out what is on the other side. After a few steps up, the user will find them self standing on a podium. Here is the place of repose and reflection. front elevation

Modern lofts are apartment buildings of medium density built on conventional city sized lots and dedicating the ground level to commercial uses. As Toronto continues to grow the market for urban apartments will follow. The site is located at the intersection of St. Clair Ave. West and Caledonia Road. The intention of the design is to continue the line of the railroad that runs parallel to the site and create a system that will be a template for future development. The design maintains a relationship to the railroad by using exposed steel as an envelope. The building cantilevers out to the sidewalk creating a canopy for the ground floor.

CALEDONIA RD.
The building has a total of ten storeys, eight of which are residential. The bike shop is designed to resemble a car dealership, where people will experience a more intimate relationship with the salesman on the show floor and the mechanics in the shop. The front door of the store is a four by three meter large garage door that opens up vertically via a counter weight. The ground level has an overall width of seven meters to allow a pass-thru for vehicles. The upper floors cantilever over with a total width of nine and a half meters and twenty five meters in length. Use of steel and large moving parts is derived from the adjacent railroad.

SLEEP CLINIC | Summer internship - Proposal for client. Building facelift |

The client approached us with the idea to give a facelift to an existing sleep clinic centre. Built up landscaping is used to divide the entrance of the clinic from the sidewalk. The polished concrete retaining wall and cedar bench creates an exterior waiting / welcoming area. My task was to prepare a set of proposal drawings and renders to present to the client. After the proposal stage, I was tasked with preparing a set of working drawings. I spent my time coordinating with the architect and other organizations in order to deal with rising issues. The current status of the project is under construction.

The ideology behind the screen is that it can be fitted with state of the art equipment without having to tear the entire structure down.

What will houses be like in the year 2020? The House2020 competition sponsored by Workshop Inc. Technology is one of the fastest advancing industries on the market. Buildings are difficult to be fitted with new technology because it has to be physically apart of the structure. The design approach is the creation of a prefabricated modular screen that can be fitted with state of the art technology. For example, a new solar panel product comes onto the market. It can easily be installed via clips provided from the panel. Greywater and rainwater management can all be done within the household. a Entry / Corridor
