MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT CAPITAL PARK (2014-2015) VICTORIA, BC
Capital Park is a mixed use development located south of the British Columbia Legislature building in Victoria, BC. The development is comprised of two office buildings, one retail pavilion, one commercial/residential building, two residential buildings, one row of townhomes and three relocated heritage homes. The orientation of the buildings provide an axial relationship to the Legislature building and respects the building heights and streetviews to the Legislature building. The layout of the buildings also create an opportunity for two courtyards that soften the density of the buildings and provides a buffer between office and residential uses. Material palettes were varied and reflect the characteristics of whichever street they faced. The project is phased into two phases, with construction to begin September 2015.

MULTI-RESIDENTIAL BRIDGELAND MCDOUGALL (2012-2013) CALGARY, AB
TYPICAL 18’ WIDE UNITS
Bridgeland McDougall is an infill project located in the vibrant inner city neighborhood of Bridgeland, directly northeast of the downtown core. Bridgeland has become a popular community for densification. This project is no exception. This 18 unit development had some design challenges that included restrictive site dimensions, limited landscaping, shallow ground depth for servicing and one street elevation facing a lane. The resulting building form are two buildings with individual balconies, clad with brick and Hardie panel and accented with private landscaping features and patios. The roof is pitched to keep in context with the 130 year old community, but introduces a modern touch with flat sloped roofs accented by each unit. The variation in building material and pitched/flat roof keeps the scale of the townhomes to a minimum, preserving the single storey living that is characteristic of Bridgeland. Project construction will be complete in the summer of 2015.

FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS FIRST CALGARY FINANCIAL (2011-2013) CALGARY, AB
First Choice Calgary Savings is a local financial institution with a focus on community and its distinguished customer service. This concept was a primary factor when the conceptual two storey building with a second floor mezzanine was proposed. The project is located on the corner of 16th Avenue (TransCanada Highway) and 4th Street NW. The building location and the company’s commitment to the community played a large role in dictating the architectural language for the financial institution. The facade fronting 16th Ave is clad with glass and accented with colored glass to signify the entrance. The colored glass is a play on the fields of color seen from aerial photos of the prairies. This feature is accented by a stone wall and finished with an aluminum canopy. The south and west sides of the building are the inner workings of the bank and face the residential area behind the building. Punch windows were chosen rather than the curtain wall to reduce the proportion of the building and eliminate the look of a corporate business. Street furniture and landscaping are incorporated to allow for friendly pedestrian circulation and softens the building’s presence on the street.

ACADEMIA PROJECTS SPATIAL RHYTHM OF THE SENSES (2010) GROUP PROJECT - UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY
Project: Spatial Rhythm of the Senses is an urban project grounded on the street of Avinguda de Roma in Barcelona, Spain. Its genesis came from studying the unique residual geometries that are a consequence of Cerda’s grid and his prioritization of circulation routes throughout the city. The geometries became the focus for synthesizing sensoral rhythms that are unique to the spatial qualities of Barcelona. Concept and Form: The sensoral qualities that were measured were building massing, sun and shadow, sound, vegetation, and population densities. The Spanish were very involved with their community and engaged with their immediate surroundings. This led to the design of six buildings that reflected the immediate cultural surroundings and infused sensoral rhythms to diversify spaces within the monotonous grid. Their forms were generated from perspectival lines and vectors projected from surrounding buildings. Each individual building was then programmed based on its proximity to vegetation and/or surroundings buildings, difference in elevation, and visual trajectories, which all particularized specific spaces and influenced circulation in the immediate and surrounding context. The finished project is a secondary school comprised of multiple sensoral elements that MASTERPLAN is integrated contextually and conceptually into the Spanish community. MASTERPLAN MASTERPLAN

ART WORK DRAWING, PRINTMAKING, PAINTING BACHELOR OF VISUAL ARTS WITH DISTINCTION
Art has always been an integral part of my life. From sketching to printmaking, I have been constantly maintaining and learning techniques. Drawing is my fundamental outlet for creativity and ideas. Throughout my Bachelors, I became interested in self portraiture and the qualities of an object’s surface. I mainly explored skin surfaces and how such a thin layer can vary in color, texture and function. I expanded the exploration through painting and printmaking, which created different effects in surface rendering and depth.

ART WORK PHOTOGRAPHY TRAVELS
My fascination with surface and texture are explored by different depths of views and the quality of light and color that is produced. I have been very fortunate to be able to explore the world and to capture what I find beautiful with sketching and photography.
