A HOLE IN THE WALL winter 2014 studio adobe illustrator adobe photoshop rhinoceros5 vray
This is a midrise building complex situated on St. Clair Avenue West, Toronto, which is experiencing rapid growth. This building looks to break the relentless urban wall condition that predominates the streetfront, to create courtyard; a condition not found anywhere else on the streetfront. This courtyard acts as a place of repose for residents and pedestrians alike.
2
The main volume of the building is first extruded from the entirety of the site to maximize living space for the residents of said building.
A corner of the building is then cut away. This achieves two things. First, it creates the aforementioned break in the urban wall, creating an open courtyard. Second, it creates more oportunities for windows to illuminate the apartments.
Setbacks are then applied to the mass, to create shaded balcony conditions, and parking at the rear. Windows are punched into the mass where they will illuminate the most. A sound barrier is erected on one side of the courtyard to isolate sounds.

PARADOXICAL PUBLIC SPACE Fall 2014 Studio - In Progress adobe photoshop photography
All public spaces are paradoxical in nature. They all contain both human and non-human elements, physical and non-physical elements, material and immaterial elements. This project explores using photography iteratively and creatively to illustrate these elements. The paradox explored in this instance is space and non-space. A space is not a space unless it is defined by something else. In these images, the defining object is outlined, and then removed, to show how the space changes with its absence. An intervention was also produced that was meant to illustrate this paradox.

TROPICAL OASIS Winter 2014 Environmental Design adobe illustrator rhinoceros5 vray
The Tropical Oasis, located on Martinique, an island in the Carribean, is a study of vernacular and modern passive climate-control techniques as they are used to create spaces of temporary repose for travellers. This oasis in particular uses techniques to provide comfort in a hot and humid climate.

tropical oasis
The climate of Martinique is characterised by year-round high temperatures, a very wet climate marked by distinct ‘wet’ and ‘dry’ seasons, and very high humidity year round. This makes shading alone ineffective as a way to achieve climate comfort.

The design of the structure is largely dictated by the need for openness to minimize impedence to the prevailing easterly winds that blow across the island. The permeable, lightweight materials, such as native bamboo used in the walls, and palm wood used for the floor plants accomplish two things. FIrstly, they allow the easterly winds to blow through the oasis, thereby cooling the space, without retaining residual heat or humidity. Secondly, they accord to the spaces a sense of lightness that would otherwise not be present.

ARCHITECTONICS fall 2013 Studio adobe photoshop adobe illustrator rhinoceros5 Vray
The basic elements of architecture are the wall, the roof, and the column. It is the interaction of these elements that create human experiences. Here, the elements are combined to create two contrasting experiences within the positive and negative spaces of the structure; places of chaos, and places of repose respectively.

A WRITER’S LOFT fall 2013 Studio graphite drafting adobe photoshop
A seasonal retreat in solitude where the writer may focus on his work and live in peace; that is the writer’s loft. This loft was an exploration into minimalist living, and simplicity. Space was kept to a minimum, rooms were kept to a minimum, and multipurposing of space was emphasized.
