Bison Transport This 19,000 sf facility will serve as the new home for the Mississauga terminal of Bison Transport, an international trucking company. The building programming is divided equally between the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operations and driver facilities; containing open office areas, private offices, meeting rooms, a fitness area, changerooms, kitchen and lounge. My involvement in this project has been from the initial design phase, and it is now approaching completion. I have taken a leadership role in the preparation of the construction documents and have been the primary site contact during construction administration.

The Westcon Group This 45,000 sf facility serves as the Ontario hub for The Westcon Group. The building programming is divided between the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operations office, and a large component warehouse. I was involved with the project from initial design through to project closeout. In addition to programming, building design and construction management duties, I was responsible for building interiors, custom lighting design, custom millwork design, and furniture selection.

Canada One Brand Name Outlets Signage Pearce McCluskey Architects was approached to generate a new wayfinding strategy around the existing Factory One Outlets in Niagara Falls. This strategy was to launch the re-branding of the facility as Canada One Brand Name Outlets. The signage proposal included five sign types: a new development pylon sign, primary directories, intermediate directories, advertising column wraps and blade signs.

Broad Cove Renovations The original yellow Cape Cod resided on the South Shore of Nova Scotia, in a town called Broad Cove. The exact age of the house is unknown, though local stories have it dated at around 200 years. Having suffered from long term leaks, insect damage, and a poorly executed renovation in the 1970â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, the goals of the project were to bring the house up to code, add an additional bathroom, and restore some of the original character of the home. The largest part of the restoration was the relocation of the staircase back to the centre of the home, most likely where they were originally built, and the construction of a Lunenburg bump at the front of the house, a common evolution of Cape Codâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the South Shore of Nova Scotia.

The stone foundation was replaced with a poured concrete foundation, by lifting the house, and a small addition was added to the back, replacing the existing decrepit one. A unconventional roof assembly using foil backed insulation was deployed to allow the hand hewn beams in the upstairs to be exposed, while still maintaining R40. The living and dining rooms were combined to create a more open concept space, and larger windows were added to bring light into the centre of the home.

Mississauga Urban Design Awards As a summer design student for the City of Mississauga, I was asked to design the graphic for the campaign, that would be used as a thematic for the 2009 awards. This included a design of an ad poster 18” x 22”, and a nomination form, as well as a package of design icons. The concept of the final poster was to depict Mississauga as a cohesive city, united by its uniqueness, both culturally and through the built form. The colour schematic of five strong colours, was to unite the City’s recently launched Strategic Plan, with the Urban Design Awards.

Building Memories Canada and the United States share an inseparable history. This interdependence characterizes each nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growth, framing contemporary Western Culture as a product of progress waves, born from struggles, disputes, revolts and war. In the wake of these waves, sites of former conflicts define a network of permanent scars on the land and the people of each country. In the absence of physical markers of this history, there often exist trails of photographs and alternative forms of documentation. These records uniquely identify each site by reconstructing historyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s timeline.

Every physical environment is bounded by the constraint of time. It is this notion of time that augments a siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s complexity by allowing current perception to form a collective memory. This thesis challenges the notion of collective memory through program and form, studying the capacity of architecture to act as a cultural mediator on contested sites. It employs Africville, the site of a razed Black Refugee community on the shores of Bedford Basin, Nova Scotia, as a testing ground for designing the distinction between memory, nostalgia, history and progress.

Needles Hall Design Proposal As part of a shortlisted group of a design-build teams I worked alongside firm Principal Kevin McCluskey to design a proposal for an addition to Needles Hall at the University of Waterloo. The addition contained a new reception, student services, and facilities for the university council. The design makes use of simple materials - matching brick and tinted glass - which allows the focal wall - clad in standing seam copper - to clearly articulate the building entrance.

project three

The Earth Perch is a proposal for a 1000 sf cabin on a rural site in Northern Ontario. The formal gesture of the building expresses the idea of the fold, created by “light slits” located along the seams of the building’s shell, and further expressed in its mesh cladding. The small cabin shelters a sleeping/living area and a potter’s studio. The linear program organization directs views from within the cabin towards the two focal points of the site, the view into the valley to the west, and a vineyard to the east. The cabin is organized to be a single open space, using elevation difference as the delineation between public and private areas.

The final design is comprised of an exterior mesh shell and an interior wood liner. Rather than the interior existing as an offset surface of the exterior form, the continuous wood liner pulls away from the metal mesh and concrete form to create areas of interstitial space. This sectional variation achieves gradations of diffuse light.

360o| 365 Harvester

animated light shade

What if every surface of the urban fabric was productive? Imagine every surface has potential for production of energy, food and fresh water. What if each surface provided a unique harvest, a harvest of energy or food? Can we change building skins to function as more than rain screens, lawns to be more than dĂŠcor, and yards to be more than recreational spaces? Let us retrace our roots, and return to the harvest. The 360 | 365 Harvester is an integrated system that transforms the conventional understanding of surface from that of a static single-purpose element, to one of production and multi-use. It is a dynamic and adaptive system that is productive three hundred and sixty-five days of the year, be it employed vertically, horizontally or somewhere in between. The structure acts both as a passive garden, designed to harvest wind o

and solar energy and rainwater, and as an active garden, in which flowers, vegetables, and herbs can be grown. The 360o | 365 Harvester bridges all scale boundaries, ranging from tall buildings without lawns, where the exterior cladding is turned into a productive skin, to suburban houses with large lawns, to a city row house with very limited lawn, as well as open spaces or parks. It is a component based system that has the capability to be as low tech as a simple hinge and man power, but simultaneously flexible such that it can be integrated with the most progressive technologies. It can be attached to existing structures, to make unproductive surfaces productive, or it can be erected as new built form. It is responsive to environmental stimuli, sensitive to local demands, pliable to long term needs, and receptive to new technologies.

Solar Panel | Rain Panel The solar panel is two sided and has an inverse relationship with the rain panel. When it is sunny the solar side faces outward and tracks the sun in order ciency. When it is raining the rain panel is positioned facing the sky and acts like a miniature catch basin, collecting the water and draining it to a cistern located on the ground at the base.

Wind Panel The wind panel has two sides. The surface of each tted with small wind scoops that act to catch the wind and divert it to a mini-turbine located in the base of each tunnel. By turning a rotor the wind energy is converted into electricity, which is delivered through cables in the arms of the infrastructure to a transformer nally back to the grid.
