This project in Westmount demanded very sensitive consideration of site constraints, program, and city by-laws. Preliminary concept drawings for city approval demonstrate the design intent of a rear addition, exterior pool and terrace. The original house was designed by Guy Desbarats and built in 1968, It is organized on three levels that follow the steep contours of the site. Critical to the design was that the extension have a succesful dialogue with the existing house and the landscape. The proposed Proposed South-East Elevation (Front) material palette of brick, aluminum panels, glazing, and precast elements recalls the expression of the 3/32" = 1'-0" existing structure while the cascading retaining walls allow for a graceful manipulation of the site. +9'-8" +19'-4"

627 VICTORIA AVENUE Supervisor: Andrea Wolff Team: Matthew Gurberg Responsibilities: Design development, permit/construction drawings The scope of this project was a rear addition and renovation for a semi-detached home in Westmount in which the family required more space. Such projects are becoming increasingly common for this building typology, often more than 100 years old, due to changes in standard living needs and declining structural integrity. Factors which were crtiical to the design included a thermally efficient envelope that maximized space, and a structural solution for a bay window and sloped roof integrated with partially demolished masonry walls.

URBAN MULTIPLEX Fall 2011/ARCH 405/Instructor: Howard Davies An exploration of the multiplex as the dominant cinema building type and how it can be integrated in an engaging way into a complex urban landscape such as the old port of Montreal. The conceptual thinking behind the project is informed by the formal language inherent in the traditional cinema volume, which is essentially a manipulated box with one surface angled upwards to function as seating. The project evolves as a manipulated box as well, angling upwards at various spots along the ground level in order to create exterior public spaces which complement the existing public boardwalks on the quai and allow for unobstructed circulation across the site.

IT’S KIND OF A BIG VIERENDEEL Winter 2011/ARCH 304/Instructor: David Covo/Partner: Robyn Whitwham The project calls for a one third expansion of an existing school of management within a downtown university campus, incorporating programmatic elements such as offices, lecture rooms and social spaces. The critical design element is a large steel vierendeel truss which straddles the building and operates both structurally and spatially, lifting the roof masses to create an open, column-free space in which program can be inserted. At the rear face of the building, a circulation stair weaves through the truss and is inhabited with study platforms and social spaces at various levels to provide an added public environment that is needed in the building.

The intent of the project is to design a multi-faceted compound consisting of artists’ studios, residences, an educationa site: the Wells-Lamson Quarry in Vermont. Through the gesture of creating a suspended promenade which snakes along the q barrier between occupant and site. One of the quarry’s most alluring features is undeniably the rich materiality of its to allow any engagement with them. Visitors are put in contact with the rock forms, allowing for a deeper understandin than a merely visual one. The various structures are suspended from the walls using tensile steel cable systems. Whil language of constructing on the walls remains consistent, in the hope of creating a more profound experience within t

METAMORPHOSIS Fall 2010/ARCH 242/Instructor: Aaron Sprecher/Partner: Elan Ibghy A study of the geometries and changing morphologies of organic forms, for the specific purpose of improving 3-D modelling and digital media skills. Initial phases of the project required the modelling of complex forms such as curved skin surfaces, antennae, appendages and shell structures. This exercise focuses on the changing form of the body between the larval, pupa and adult stages of the ladybug’s metamorphosis. The transformations can be observed as a change in the body’s geometry and resulting change in surface texture, both of which proceed simultaneously.

LIGHTSCAPE Fall 2011/ARCH 447/Instructor: Conor Sampson Partners: Michael Fohring, Andrew Pancer, Julian Mirabelli This design was the winning proposal in a class-wide competition for a lighting installation on McGill campus. The intention of the installation is to create an engaging experience through shifting the focus away from the object to the environment. Rather than approaching the design of the fixtures as a series of lanterns, each is designed to have minimal presence, meant simply to spill light onto the ground in an interesting way, activating the main pedestrian axis through campus. This gesture articulates the axis as its own space, a path of light welcoming pedestrians and providing a rich experience through the soft play of light and shadow on the ground. In terms of the patterning, the light is filtered through a screen derived from a folding and cutting process commonly associated with children’s winter craft-making, evoking a sense of nostalgia of winter activities. The second phase of the project involved constructing the installation, which we did successfully using large laser-cut steel sheets, hinges and rivets, after which it remained on campus throughout the winter months. The university subsequently decided to pursue the idea in its Campus planning department. 17

ATHENEUM Winter 2012/ARCH 406/Instructor: Ricardo Castro This project - a center for learning, contemplation, and dance- evolved in such a way that context, site and integration into an existing university fabric were central to the design. From the diagrams one can see the process that determined the massing scheme. Elements such as height restrictions, topography, an existing circulation pattern diagonally across the site, and the concern of obstructing light to neighbouring buildings dictated the organization of the project. The critical element is an interior outdoor courtyard, which infuses the building with a flexible social environment and engages the surrounding spaces through visual and physical connections.

PERSONAL WORK/Film
photography
35mm About two years ago I discovered my father’s old Nikon FM SLR camera and have since become very passionate about film photography. Shooting film has an added dimension of challenge and excitement. The desire to not waste limited exposures increases the importance of putting serious thought into the design of each photograph – a mentality that is often lost in today’s digital age of rapid and mass output. I have found there to be several analogous considerations between architectural design and the design of a photograph , such as composition, play of light and shadow, proportions, and the relationship between horizontal and vertical lines -my perception of which have increased through this process.

WABI-SABI Colour film is much less forgiving than black and white, and the results, if not perfectly exposed, will usually have slight imperfections. I find it is these imperfections which partially give the photographs their unique and interesting quality: faint streaks, distorted colours, exaggerated grain and texture, slightly over or underexposed shots. All these things add richness to a photograph in my opnion. It brings to mind the Japanese concept of Wabi-sabi, the acceptance and view of the imperfect as beautiful.
