Edmonton, Alberta

Scale and material define an experience of retreat, delight, social interaction, and inclusion, all nestled in a setting that transforms throughout the seasons. The Diwan Pavilion in Edmonton is part of a larger existing botanical garden run by the University of Edmonton and funded through the Aga Khan cultural trust. It is a multi-purpose event space designed to serve the needs of the local Ismaili Muslim community. The architecture and interiors are derived from the rich history of the Mogul pleasure garden in India, as well as the broader understanding of the history, art and design of Islamic architectural heritage. These principles, when applied to the

modern Albertan identity, create a uniquely contextualized experience. Axiality, geometry and hierarchy feature prominently in the gardens and are echoed throughout the pavilion, which is seen as an aggregate of interior and exterior spaces contained within a harmonious whole. The intense northern climate of Edmonton presented a particular challenge in providing a comfortable environment throughout the cold winter months. My role in this project encompassed all phases of design.

Early interior studies of the principle volumes demonstrate material and lighting qualities which would later inform the interior design of the project. Screens are used extensively to suggest spatial boundaries and create a wash of diffuse daylight while the raised podium and extensively glazed ground floor allows the upper volumes to seemingly float, establishing visual continuity to the gardens beyond. Muted colour tones allow the natural texture of the garden’s ecology to animate the interior spaces.

Geometric patterns used throughout the building and gardens are applied to a printed tensile fabric to form the backdrop of a central stage. Embedded cove lighting details around the perimeter bathe it a soft glow. The stage is symmetrically framed by the expansive glazing and feature walls to its left and right. It is unique in being one of the few interior elements to break the 8’ datum line.

Study Models

The camera is, at its heart, a space. Within, a filtered reality is projected upon the spherical world of the eye. It lies between the laws of physics which govern the form of the camera and the enigma of human artistry. This proposal for the Seoul Photographic Art Museum – Camera Obscura -, is a building that is both sculpted and calibrated; it is formed at the intersection of tool and hand. The building is derived from a series of elemental moves, beginning with the straight extrusion from the property line up to maximum height. The elliptical mass of the Robot Science Museum strongly impacts the building form with a dramatic sweeping curve that responds to this condition, also echoed in the organic undulations of the window fenestrations. The mass is carved further with enormous cantilevered vaulted street-level entrances. This

10

language extends to the interior in the form of a fluid spine of public movement, where the visitor experience is a principal influence on the arrangement of the circulation within. The material richness of the public atrium is contrasted by the spartan simplicity of the inner galleries which promote flexibility to allow for a variety of exhibitions, with a carefully considered lighting scheme to maximize functionality. Equally integrated is the exhibition servicing, in an efficient, direct flow from loading to display. In this proposal, circulation, functionality, and sculpted form are choreographed to produce an inspired new cultural facility.


Urbanism | Integration | Form

Urban Context The Seoul Photographic Art Museum is a place of arts, culture, and discovery for Chang-dong¡Sanggye City and beyond. As such, it considers the wider scale of connectivity to the Seoul Metropolitan Region by virtue of nearby Chang-dong station. The building promotes fluid pedestrian movement at the ground plane, and a smooth transition between the Seoul Photographic Art Museum and its immediate neighbours, creating significant public green space between all three.

“Philip J. Currie Dinosaur Museum is a world-class dinosaur museum facility, custom built to house bones extracted from the Pipestone Creek Dinosaur Bone Bed, one of the most significant deposit of horned dinosaur fossils ever discovered.” - Reich+Petch Design International The Philip J. Currie Museum is an integrated exhibition space tailored for a uniquely designed Teeple Architects building. As such, it was not only an exercise in exhibit design, but also museum planning. Entering onto the mezzanine level, the main gallery is below grade and features heavy concrete supports and a soaring wood frame ceiling which were thoughtfully integrated and informed the gallery design. Characterized by vast open spaces, site lines were integral to the visual cues and circulation of the museum, while the meandering nature of the exhibits encourage exploration through nonlinear progression. The emphasis on natural materiality echoes the surrounding landscape and allows for easier immersion to ‘follow in the footsteps of the paleontologists’ which was a fundamental principle to the design. My role in this project spanned from late design development to partial construction documentation.

‘Ala’ Blue Clay Country Spa

Kurzeme District, Latvia

View from the Indoor Bath

Ala. “Cave” Latvian The cave is humble. The cave does not demand attention, but rather invites your curiosity – and once discovered begins to reveal its splendor through an enigmatic network of passages, chambers, and openings. As you move through it, the cave’s walkways contract and its halls expand. Spaces are small and large, light and dark, reticent and all encompassing. The cave is a synthesis of nature’s most primitive elements: earth, water and light. There is no time here. The cave pulses, the cave breathes … Of Latvia’s diverse ecosystems, the most precious of her ecological jewels are her natural monuments, some of the oldest of which are caves. The formative process of caves are a result of the primal forces of water and the movement of earth. The ceaseless motion of water erodes even the heartiest of stone, creating spaces where no two environments are

alike yet all share a common spatial coherence. Still, this simple harmony of earth and water is only revealed when touched by light. Caves have been captivating to humanity for millennia. Early man sought shelter, but now caves have become a place of spirituality, providing a reconnection with our primitive selves through their unconquerable endurance. This is healing. True to Latvia’s wild landscapes, the Blue Clay Spa is un-intrusive to its context and veiled in mystique. But from the outside only a series of gentle mounds rest in the Kurzeme forest. It is a quite architecture. This eco-resort is a sprawling network of interconnected chambers conceived of the very earth used in the spa process. Its atmosphere is derived from the tactility of the clay and the striation of eroded rock, and spatial boundaries are blurred to create a seamless integration with the landscape.

For the majority of the modern history of their city, New Yorkers have been at war with insects. Not anymore! The Vivarium project, which includes insect cultivation environments, residences, and public spaces connected to the High Line’s ecosystem and Manhattan´s grid, demonstrates how humans and bugs can coexist and how the latter can be a source of protein, income, ecological regeneration and even beauty. ‘Vivarium’ (Latin for ‘place of life’, defined as an enclosed space for observing animals or plants) seems deceptively homogeneous from the outside. But as one enters, either from the street or through a High Line-connected staircase, one

is faced with a radical contrast: while apartment units are located on its perimeter, the heart of the building is hollow, exposing a series of enclosed, visible insect and invertebrate vivariums that intrigue and disconnect. A city as innovative and diverse yet as ‘food insecure’ (16.6% - National Geographic, 2014), and ‘protein-hungry’ as New York can become a leader in incorporating healthy and sustainable insect farming and related culinary practices. By cultivating, harvesting, transforming, consuming insects (according to FAO 2013, 2 billion

people worldwide already do), and selling their by-products (e.g., silk and natural dye carmine), the Vivarium project aspires to spearhead such an initiative in North America. It also aims to act as a regenerator of urban ecosystems (through organic waste composting by meal worms, High Line flora pollination, farming of endangered butterfly species), and to educate its residents and High Line visitors though doubling as an insectarium and a contemplation space punctuated by the annual seasonal release of butterflies.

Working under the framework of the original outline and the Ryerson master plan, we endeavored to create an engaging space that would place the theatre at the epicenter of performance, research, and production not only in the school, but in Toronto and beyond. It encompassed three ‘program types’: a new academic hub for the school of performance, a catalyst ‘production commons’ to engage with the broader creative industry, and a modernized world-class Ryerson theatre.

Convergence / Divergence Urban Revitalization & Master-plan | c. 2016 | Academic

Convergence / Divergence is a mixed use proposal for the revitalization of the underutilized junction triangle in the Dundas West Bloor Area. The project is a 2.5 hectare investigation and design response at 158 Sterling Road, that focuses on reinforcing physical and economic linkages to act as a catalyst for employment opportunities to the site from Toronto and the broader GTA. This in turn forms a stable foundation for the long-term social benefit of the neighborhood. The site itself, though meticulously connected to public transit, Go Train, UPX, Rail corridor trail, and major street networks, remains isolated due to the geography of the area and growth patterns of the city – full of fringe conditions and hard impermeable edges. The title comes from the convergence of these many vital arteries into one divergent place. Physically, the project seeks to create a new development language by embracing the ambiguities and conflicts in the urban landscape to uncover the latent potential of incongruous spatial forms. The project as a thought exercise seeks to take advantage of residual urban spaces in a site specific manor by letting go of codified design responses, specifically those imposed by standardized lot divisions and rigid proprietorship, and that much public good can come from blurring these lines at the urban scale. Throughout the complex there is an emphasis on varied and engaging work spaces that are intimately laced with residential programming to create a vibrant urban area. All while drawing the public domain in, to interact with the private with the balance shifting towards community stewardship. At the same time the many disparate arterial connections are drawn in to the heart of the site to help facilitate this much needed economic change.

Make Lemonade is a locally owned and operated co-working space dedicated to inclusivity and empowering women in the workplace. The project featured an aggressive timeline and minimal budget to completely retrofit a dated 1960’s office suite into an engaging open concept workspace that was both functional and multi-use. Work areas vary from dedicated hot desks and meeting rooms, to informal breakout spaces and a multi-purpose ‘green room’ that is easily converted for hosting events. At its heart is the public kitchen which

animates the floor plate and acts as focal point of user engagement while unobtrusively separating spatial zones. Vibrant splashes of colour and locally designed and produced murals contrast the simplicity of the main finishes and natural hues of the furniture while serving as a branding and identity element for the client. The unconventional materiality and airy design foster the creative spirit of the community, while extensive use of custom furniture and millwork bring a richness and tactility to the office. My role in this project included all phases.

Outdoor Sign Coffee Island Roastery

Hospitality

Cafe | Concept | c. 2017 | 700 Sq.f | Axia Design | Project Architect

London, United Kingdom

Design Precedents

Coffee Island is a mid-sized cafe chain operating out of Greece and the UK with goals for corporate expansion in Toronto. The proposal shown here is part of a larger integrated design package encompassing a full marketing overhaul that would update the coffee island identity as it is presented to a new North American audience. Themes centre on the origins of the coffee bean as they are traced from farm to cup. Beginning as direct trade, celebrated as a scientific endeavor, and finally manifested as high quality coffee. Victorian motifs of detailed wrought iron and delicate metal inlays, as well as biological stimulus in terrariums and horticulture are harmonized with a material palette derived from the re-branding strategy to create a modernized physical and digital identity for the chain.

38

Ground Floor Plan (middle)

Design Impetus (top left) Much of the atmospheric presence of the cafÊ is governed by a modern application of Victorian motifs guiding the design language, conjuring images of inviting and intricately detailed parlors and lounges. We viewed the Barista’s role as a science and an art, so direct engagement became a focus through the iconography of the Victorian botanist, and a visual display of the laboratory.

Terrariums & Product Display (top left) As a welcoming feature, tall vertical display cases invoke the Victorian terrarium and exhibit various live coffee species in the Coffee Island trade network to bring awareness to their diverse climate, cultural, and topographical origins. Flexible wall storage and information systems accommodate additional dispensaries and product display, all housed in an intricate metal structure derived from the curvature of the coffee leaf.

Branding Identity (left)

Alternative Digital Branding

Synthesizing a new identity was integral to the success of the project. Working with local graphic designers, AXIA created a sample rebranding package including logos, print material, products, and digital presence to modernize the chain. In a reciprocal relationship, this helped shape and was shaped by the interiors.

Kimberly Road Commercial Tower

Commercial / Hospitality

Commercial, Food and Beverage Tower | Concept | c. 2020 | 86,400 Sq.f | Axia Design | Project Architect

Hong Kong

In Hong Kong, commercial properties are often organized vertically due to the extreme density and high real estate prices.

EXPERIENCE CENTER

The morphology of the project is a response to angling views away from the cramped adjacent streetscape towards key natural and man-made features. This results in a language of angularity which is extrapolated at several scales from formal massing to interior treatments MASSING MASSING MORPHOLOGY MORPHOLOGY creating a uniform architectural approach throughout the tower.

EXPERIENCE CENTER_FASHION

EXPERIENCE CENTER_COSMETCI

ENTRANCE ENTRANCE

A significant pedestrian corridor drives through the building from Kimberly road to a raised public plaza at the rear taking the form of an open air mall, and further articulating the massing to establish a striking street presence. Above, spaces are designed for maximum flexibility and are categorized by floor according to their program with terraces and setbacks given to the hospitality sector. At its heart is the climatically controlled experience centre which is a multi-sensory event space designed to accommodate a vast array of technologically focused experiences.

Third Floor Public Concourse VIEW FROM ELEVATOR LOBBY

Movement & Consistency User experience outside of the commercial spaces was an important consideration in the realization of the interiors. A dramatic faceted ceiling overlaid with consistent datum lines and dark reflective material palette create a feeling of familiarity and consistency in the interior architecture regardless of where one is in the overall tower. These principles are proliferated in the public corridors in the floor plates above and even into the elevator cabs. It is a visual indication of the iconic language of the tower.

Sylvan Lake Residence

Residential

Single Family Residence | 2017 | $1,200,000 est. | 6,000 Sq.f | Axia Design | Project Architect

This residence is a custom designed home on Alberta’s Sylvan Lake for a young couple and their two teenage children. Maximizing the exposure to the lake front dominates the architectural character of the house with 38 feet of uninterrupted view. The relative narrowness and depth of the lot presented a challenge for light induction which resulted

Sylvan Lake, Alberta

in a series of inset courtyards along the building’s sides, while the angled facades on its faces are oriented to the edge of the shoreline below. A double height atrium creates a sense of lightness and spatial freedom connecting the expansive areas of the house.

Open Concept | Detail | Interior Composition

Lake Focus (top left) Even in the deepest areas of the floor plate, an effort is always made to reestablish a connection to the lake, and as a byproduct, harmonious hierarchical relations between program spaces were established.

Open Concept Atrium (top & bottom right) Despite the residence’s significant scale and relative opacity, the deliberate use of double height spaces and careful composition of fenestrations evoke a feeling of lightness and porosity throughout the interior. Spatial separation was established through transitions in flooring, and staged feature elements rather than wall enclosures and hard edges.
