about
Growing up in an environment surrounded by design, both in fashion and architecture, my passion for the latter started at a young age. My father, being an interior designer, would take me to construction sites and I would always enjoy watching as these spaces transformed over time. As soon as I returned home from the sites, I would immediately get out my pencil and a piece of paper and begin to sketch out what I thought could be an alternative for whatever design element I had seen that day. In addition to my father, having a few other close relatives in the field opened up a pathway for me to choose architecture as a career.

Les Ateliers FAB de Vanier
Les atelier FAB de Vanier is a 3000 m2 workshop in which the artist community in Vanier would be welcome to work and reside in. It will be home to various craft disciplines especially those which require the physical manipulation of materials to create a product. The building will be home to wood and metal shops, robot arm stone cutters, advanced digital fabrication labs and many more programs. in addition to the workshops, classrooms will be provided for lessons on the various crafts. The design of the building is based off the public perception of art. People only see art as a beautiful finished product and never fully understand the time and energy that goes into producing those pieces. The consumption of art privileges the produced artifact over the process of production. The proposed project attempts to bridge the gap between object and process. The building is both a vessel for artistic production and an object of consumption. The clean slatted wood exterior cladding is a representation of the finished product, while the interior organization completely exposes all its building systems. With a scaffolding-like superstructure and modular programs in individual “floating boxes�, the building exposes the nature of the creative process and represent its chaotic beauty.

Usufruct
The Prince of Wales bridge, constructed in 1880, is a multispan Pratt truss bridge that runs across the Ottawa river, connecting Ottawa to Gatineau. It served its purpose as a railway connection between the two cities for exactly a hundred years, but as railway transportation use declined and more efficient routes were developed, the line was abandoned in 1980. The Prince of Wales bridge has become a well- known hangout spot, as not only does it give its visitors an “enter at your own risk” feeling, it is a secluded site in which one can go to reflect on their thoughts and appreciate the beauty of the two cities coming together. There is a certain thrill that people get from the bridge’s lack of protective measures and it is this sense of danger that keeps people coming back. This project will be taking into consideration, all aspects of the bridge from its historical purpose as a connector and a means of transportation, to its modern use as a leisure spot with a slight ‘kick’. Usufruct is a rehabilitation project that ranges in scale. It has been designed in three stages with programs that pay respect to the three main physical attributes of the bridge; The steel trusses, the stone piers and the railway tracks.

Re-use the city

The old Architecture school for Universidade Autonama de Lisboa, for the purposes of this project, has been repurposed to a new Music School which will be home to a black box theatre and multipurpose performance space. The building is designed to fit in with the existing urban fabric by maintaining its exterior walls and all the original ornamentation, but has been made to stand out through the replacement of its windows with more modern, full glazing units. Its exterior would be painted white, adding to the preservation of the façade while giving it a more contemporary aesthetic. The main design strategy of the project focuses on the idea of emphasizing ‘reveals’ and making sure that there is always a clear separation between what is new and old, this theme is primarily shown through the demolition of most of the existing second floor and its replacement with subtle bridges and mezzanines. All elements of the building have been designed to follow this strategy, from the gaps between new floor plates and the existing walls, to independently designed units for each program. Performance is the primary focus of the program, so in addition to the instrument learning rooms, recording studios and open practice spaces, the building houses a black box theatre, an open multipurpose performance auditorium and an open rehearsal stage. These three programs are respectively aligned and interact with each other, to allow for an experimental exhibition that utilizes three different levels of performance.

Raw-Ten ‘Building 22’ Publication
The Vanier Neighborhood in Ottawa has been widely recognized as a very community oriented area, but it still has a certain ”hard exterior”. When given a choice of four sites, the decision was made based on the site which played the role of a ”bridge” between this sense of community and a hard (even Ottawa-urban) exterior. 200 Baribeau street is currently occupied by a single storey Islamic school; the building in place for over half a century. Located at the heart of a small community in which gentrification has begun, this is the perfect site for a new mid to high class, multi-unit residential project. The design of the project is based on the preservation and re-purposing of the existing school. Raw-Ten is a new hybrid housing project; the school remains an urban memory under an exquisite row of 10 town houses perched deliciously above. Who could resist living there?! Raw-ten is angled and textured to produce a hard urban environment distancing itself from soft developer architecture. Within the site is a dense housing development that extends Ottawa’s convention for housing models.

The existing building on 200 Baribeau Street is being kept and re-purposed for the proposed hybrid housing project. It is a single story 0.65 acre concrete masonry unit structure which has a 50 year old foundation supporting it. So in order to build above, an exoskeleton structure had to be developed which would have the ability to support the weight of the ten townhouses and the pedestrian bridge connecting them with the apartment block. The exoskeleton structure is assembled using steel I-beams and acts as an arachnid sitting over and around the building, transferring loads to the earth without actually putting too much weight on the existing structure.

Gossiping Towers ARCHITECT Magazine Studio Prize Award and Publication Cover Image for ARCHITECT Magazine September 2016 issue ‘Building 22’ Publication
Vanier lacks a core, a sort of hub for the community. The commercial strip lacks a particular solidity that other urban centers in Ottawa possess, its buildings like masses of ice split from an arctic sheet. The Gossiping Towers project is a prototypical gateway rooted in Vanier’s core, conceived to sprawl across the city of Ottawa and Hull via air transit. Expo architecture reigns within the urban hub, with speculative towers describing modern ideas in the urban context. The hub’s many attractions include a revitalized Senator’s Arena, a commercial district, and the sustainable Hanging Gardens and Algae Bio-Reactor towers. The tallest of the projects, the Gateway Towers, boldly proclaims the grand project’s Constructivist ideals; the project is designed to demonstrate to developers the potential to use the tram-line’s existing pylon structures as frameworks for condominium development. Development is spurred by developer funding and the relationship between transit and density reaches a merry equilibrium. The English and Francophone downtown cores are connected across the Ottawa River and subsequently our underdeveloped Vanier becomes the centre stage.

Several of the adjoined roadways will be rerouted as part of the plan to redesign the subject property. Incoming traffic to Montreal Road will largely be diverted through a direct route from Cumming’s Bridge down towards McArthur Avenue and Vanier Parkway. Existing local roadways will be converted into pedestrian paths and underground parking for the site will be accessible from the south.

Air Tram Stations Primary: Hull Downtown - Quebecois metropolitan core Mackenzie King Station - bus & LRT transit hub, mall & market access Vanier Prototype - project hub; expo class amenities, arena Secondary: Casino Lac-Lemy - likely funded by the casino Parc de la Gatineau – massive green space Via Rail Station - transit hub for national train network St. Laurent Mall - bus transit hub & mall access
One of the main features of this project is a new air tram line. The core objective of the air tram network is to bridge the gap between the major downtown cores of Ottawa and Hull, providing a financially viable transit corridor with spectacular views across the water. Deeper connections are meant to provide efficient citywide transit without vehicular traffic woes.

325 Theatre
Located on the corner of Rideau and Nelson street, the Bytowne cinema is one of Ottawa’s oldest theatres and its main stop for viewing independent films. The project required an extension for this historical building which would house a black box theatre, five small cinema rooms and various other programs. The design of this new building is based on the questions; what if this black box, a recognizably heavy object, is floated above ground but then brought back down by being enclosed in a very geometric, rock-like structure. At the same time, what if the five cinema rooms/magic lanterns which can be portrayed as light objects, are enclosed in a completely solid structure bringing about a theme of heaviness versus lightness.

Segmented Balaclava
60
The building designed for the northern section of the urban plaza located on the corner of Sidney and Preston St Ottawa, ON, originally started out as a fashion bookstore and has been re-purposed to also accommodate a bespoke clothing store. The design of the building is site specific to create a connection with the plaza so the general shape of the structure follows that of the pond. The structure started out by pulling two shapes from the site, a triangle and a quadrilateral. The triangle consists of three floors, with the ground floor as the retail section of the clothing store, the second floor is the bookstore and the basement is occupied by the tailor shop. The second shape has only two floors, the ground floor being part of the clothing store holds the fitting rooms and a gathering space, and the second floor is residential. These two shapes, made out of concrete and clad in wood, are connected by a large area of glazing, which is held up by a structural grid. To keep with the concept of fashion, the façade, made of perforated metal, represents four sections of cloth pulled from the space between the two shapes and draped over the glazing as if to be clothing the buildings nakedness. Most designer clothing stores have simplistic designs with one or two feature elements that grab ones attention, a lot of them are interior and not necessarily large, but that of this one covers its entire face, as if the building is wearing a mask separated into sections, hence the name‌Segmented Balaclava.

Professional Experience Carleton Immersive Media Studio (CIMS)
Carleton Immersive Media Studio (CIMS) is a Carleton University research centre dedicated to the advanced study of innovative, hybrid forms of reality capture, representation and fabrication that can both reveal the invisible measures of architecture and animate the visible world of construction. In collaboration with Heritage Conservation Services (HCS) and the Parliamentary Precinct Branch (PPB) of Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC), CIMS is working on the documentation for, and the creation of Building Information Models (BIM) of the Parliamentary Precinct Buildings in Autodesk Revit. The Models are constructed with metric data captured from terrestrial laser scanning and photogrammetry. This highly detailed information allows for an accurate recreation of the buildings, down to the nearest millimeter. These models can then be adopted by the prime consultants (architects and engineers) as the basis for design studies, project management, and integrated project delivery. The models are built in teams that involve multiple students from various academic backgrounds, including architecture and engineering.
All the following images were produced using a combination of BIM and point cloud data from Autodesk Revit, and edited in Adobe Photoshop. 64
