EMPLOYMENT Research Assistant Geography Department - University of Toronto June 2016 - November 2016 5 months Working independently and remotely, I was tasked with modeling potential built forms from Kennedy Station to UofT’s Scarborough Campus. Using Revit and guided by the Avenues and Mid-Rise Buildings Study, I developed the full site model, building masses, and their individual floor space schedules allowing for further analysis by the UofT team. Teaching Assistant Master’s Studio - University of Waterloo September 2015 - December 2015 4 months Provided assistance to incoming master students performing desk crits, developing the initial site package, and introducing general OBC requirements and site specific zoning while helping students to become integrated to the school life and Waterloo community in general. Junior Architectural Designer HONT China July 2013 - August 2013 2 months Helped research precedents and develop initial conceptual forms for a tower-base mixed-use residential building.

SUGAR HOUSE
The Sugar House is an industrial building tasked with the production of maple syrup. This vernacular project’s built form and spatial organization help support the production process from the collection and evaporation of sap to the creation, bottling, and storage of maple syrup.
The architecture’s form and integration into the site helps provide passive ventilation, daylight, and passive cooling.

COMMUNITY POOL
The Community Pool project focuses on the body’s interaction with space, architecture, and program. Situated within an urbanized area, the project works to fit into its existing community providing a variety of pool types for different ages, activities, and abilities.

TEMPERANCE TOWER

yonge st richmond st
The office tower’s site is located in Toronto’s downtown core positioned amongst multiple high-rises that block the building’s daylight access and outward views. The project was developed using the surrounding buildings and environmental context.

south
After zoning restrictions were considered, the tower is shaped by the impact of wind, access to sunlight, and providing views. (wind) In urban areas, the wind load on buildings increases with height. The proposed tower changes its floor plate shape to counteract wind load becoming more aerodynamic as it’s height increases. (sun) The sites proximity to existing and proposed high rise buildings to the south overshadow the site. To increase daylight access, the form minimizes its southern facade expanding the eastern and western facades thereby allowing for more access to daylight in the morning and evening. (views) The form of the building allows for extended views down street corridors and, in the case of higher floors, downwards to the public realm.

INTENSIFYING TORONTO
The Golden Mile Scarborough
The Golden Mile Scarborough
Proposed Master Plan
Intensifying Toronto explores where and how Toronto’s future urban growth could occur in both a sustainable and highly beneficial manner. The thesis ends with a proposed master plan for one of Toronto’s most significant opportunities: Scarborough’s Golden Mile.
future LRT stop locations
The Golden Mile, consisting of a designated ‘Avenue’ and the future site of the Eglinton LRT corridor, is an under utilized area comprised of big box plazas with vast greyfields and auto-centric urbanism. The basis of the proposed Golden Mile revitalization plan was the development of what the Growth Plan refers to as a complete community: a place that can meet daily living requirements throughout a lifetime offering range of housing, jobs, services, and transit options.
commercial residential
Through the investigation and developement of main street and edge condition options, analysis of Torontonian typologies, precedents and morphologies, and development of compactly mixed employment and residential densities, the Golden Mile would arguably be able to support a variety of lifestyles, promote vibrancy throughout the day and week, support transit, and create a desirable place to live, work and be entertained.

In the proposed reurbanization plan, streets were merged to reduce the number of intersections while reconnecting the greenspace to a land mass. To the southeast, the shopping centre addition extends out to the street edge engaging the public realm, increasing rentable floor space, and forming an exterior public plaza.

North Eastern Section
Eglinton Higher density neighbourhoods mix employment and residential land-uses helping to support the creation of a complete community. Ground floors are typically reserved for commercial and service employment while upper floors would consist of offices, residences, or live-work units.
