a third year architecture student with an interest in sustainable, practical design specifically for the people living, working, and playing within them. With experience working on small custom retail, corporate office, and high-rise residential projects, I am hoping to expand into larger scale public works as well as architectural detail work as I develop my design portfolio and professional network.

courtyard/amenity section
community amenities In an effort to not only house the struggling people of this community, but lift and engage them, this initiative provides a plethora of community amenities ranging from fully-accessible communal kitchen and dining areas to rooftop garden and patio spaces. These amenities are arranged throughout the project as a way of creating neighbourhoods within its walls and actively promoting community support systems. A low-rise strategy paired with rhythmic arrangements of housing and amenity manages to keep these people connected to eachother and the public services below.

daycare/unit section
public services In a community environment plagued by homelessness, substance abuse, and single motherhood, LIFT endeavors to provide a mix of public and building amenities as a means to supply much needed activity infrastructure, childcare resources, and social spaces in the form of fitness and sports spaces, a large infant-to-adolesence daycare center and public park and garden areas. These areas are arranged so as to create a healthy extension of the Sherbourne Lanes microcosm and foster self-actuated community growth.

timber structure The structural system is a combination of large timber pier structures along the street front which support a timber-frame post and beam network above. This system, which is extended through to grade on the north end, is transfered to the larger columns via scissor truss technology above the courtyard amenity in the south. The resultant grid ultimately informs the arrangement of units and amenity partitions and is supported laterally by three equally spaced core towers. The facade system is made up of distinct, pre-fabricated panels which are arranged programmatically and detailed so as to harken back to the townhouse typologies which once stood here.

family-oriented units The housing units of LIFT’s upper floors are inherently family-oriented and range from 2 to 4 bedroom suites. The building envelope zigzags to optimize natural light access into the units and each unit is equipped with a private bathroom and dining area. The units are oriented in groups of 4 or 6 radially around the communal living and dining areas as a means of promoting a neighbourhood mentality and ensuring use of the many dual-story amenities. In this fashion, each community member is supplied with equal and easy access to indoor and outdoor amenities.

structure + water Fjord Emporium is lifted from the ground by use of nine concrete piers so as to allow water to pass underneath and into the robust water collection and filtration system within its core entrance structure. Additionally, interior sleeping, working, and dining spaces are created through a system of integrated millwork which surround a central core. A system of layered accessible spaces helps to mitigate environmental conditions and maximize passive energy opportunites.

an exploration of the factors causing the under-utilization of river front property in local communities; resulting in the proposal of a three-pronged landscaping and pavilion installation project. Prompted a more detailed look at fluid dynamics, ecologies of the Grand River watershed, and hydraulic technologies as they relate to architecture.
25
accessing the river Through an analysis of the community use of the Grand River in three seperate seasonal conditions, it has become evident that usage of the river by the people of Galt is limited only to a few small, often privately-owned apertures in the city core. By branching down to the river from the least engaged of the town’s three bridges, this pavilion project aims to open access and improve engagement with the city’s most integral asset: the river.

seasonal pavilions Each of the three pavilions are optimized to foster river activities year-round, though they are mostly primed for spring to fall hiking, fishing and portaging engagement. The exception to this rule of course is the circuit pavilion which has been designed to adapt to river tide and weather conditions so as to provide summer swimming and winter skating opportunites.

amphibious technology The adaptive technology of the circuit pavilion and the integrated flood-drainage and tiered approach of the adjacent pavilions and pathways are designed to promote this annual accessibility while passively respecting and promoting the local ecologies and limiting the need for manual preparation and closure of the individual pavilions; a strategy that ultimately increases community involvement and mitigates costs and maintenance.

design applied -
While working as a general labourer and skills trad esper son for four consecutive summer s I was lucky enough to build wor thwhile experience using a wide range of tools, reading shop drawings, and acting as an essential par t of the construction process. Under the contracting team at Maeer s Construction I per formed tasks related to the construction, assembly, and shipping of modular projects destined for sites across the continent and designed by Grimsby’s
30
own NRB. Some of these tasks have included assembly of wood and steel roof and wall envelope systems, such as those pictured here, as well as the wrapping of modular sections for shipment and their subesquent site installation. My experience constructing these systems continues to be an indespensible asset for my under standing of building science and structure concepts throughout my education and in each of my subsequent work placements.

design as a process -
During my time at Boszko & Verity I had the pleasure of working on a variety of commercial and residential projects. These projects ranged from adaptive reuse of the Toronto School of Ar t’s new R yer son location and Native Child Ser vices’ Cabbagetown house (pictured on the far lef t and right respectively) to new projects like the CN Tower gif t shop and lobby renovation (lef t centre) and Gusto 504 on King Street West. Each of these projects exposed me to a variety of
32
building technologies and programs. My work as a project coordinator had me participating in design meetings, analyzing and ammending shop drawings, and coordinating with architects, clients and trades throughout a ver y iterative design process. Over the cour se of my time at B&V I was able to see these projects and many other s through to various stages of design and construction while building on my understanding of design in a hands-on capacity.

design for living -
At IBI Group, I worked on a small team in the Living+ studio of their Vancouver of f ice. Throughout my time here, I was able to pick up new skills and experience with programs such as AutoDesk , Vector works, Sketchup, 3DS Max, and other BIM/rendering sof twares. Additionally, as one of only f i ve team member s, I was af forded the oppor tunity to attend design meeti ngs and provide my own design input on a number of projects at various stages in the design process. My work
34
included the iteration of unit plan layouts, creation and amendment of section, perspective and site study drawings, and the compilation of drawing packages for rezoning/design panel; packages I would then bring to client/developer meetings for further analysis and iteration. My experience in Vancouver allowed me to apply my communication skills and design principles to real-world projects and develop them in a professional of f ice setting.
