Master of Architecture Laurentian Univ
INTRODUCTION | ABOUT + RESUME I’m Sarah, a first-year Masters of Architecture student at the McEwen School of Architecture in Sudbury, Ontario. In the diverse field of architecture, my interests lie in craftsmanship and sustainable design - especially how these detailed aspects can work towards the betterment of spaces in general. Through immersing myself these past four years in a design-build based architecture school, along with spending my scarce hours of free time in the expansive surrounding northern outdoors - I have really been able to dive into and become passionate about these areas of interests. I hope you enjoy taking a peak through a selection of my work over the past few years!

2 MULTI-USE RESIDENTIAL | A TEMPERED JUNCTION RHINO | VRAY | AUTOCAD | ILLUSTRATOR | PHOTOSHOP | INDESIGN IN COLLABORATION WITH BRAEDEN MARTEL STUDIO PROJECT - FALL 2019 A 3.5 acre linear site in Downtown Sudbury provided the location for the development of residential, market, and community outdoor spaces, all integrated with the existing CPR station heritage building. With the goal of bringing families back downtown, overlapping programs and stages of public and private space were created. The site hosts a raised CLT housing block, a glu-lam and custom truss year-round market and co-working space, along with a flexible temporary market, sports surface, and sliding hill. This project received an Honourable Mention at Convocation for Architectural Design and Spatial Qualities in which the jury awarded its “simple yet elegant design [which] is a contemporary interpretation of vernacular residential architecture with a nordic feel.” 6

ADAPTIVE REUSE GALLERY | THE BREWER GALLERY RHINO | ILLUSTRATOR | PHOTOSHOP | INDESIGN INDIVIDUAL STUDIO PROJECT - SPRING 2019
Renovated from an old Brewery in the heart of Sudbury, one third of this 60,000 sq ft building was redesigned into a modern art gallery. As the existing building had an unapproachable and massive street presence, erosion was used as a technique to manipulate the spaces. Through altering the form and having patrons experience oppositions such as expansion and compression, heavy and light, industrial and natural, the elements within the building are revealed and exposed to highlight the most important spatial and tectonic qualities and create a grand yet welcoming space. 18

Ground Floor | Second Floor Plan Showing site and immediate urban context, grey highlights the portions of the buildings left for future development. Using the south end of the building allowed for grander spaces and more interaction with existing materials.
LEFT: Permanent Gallery Perspective The tallest space in the building was utilized for the permanent gallery. Evident in this perspective is the facade alterations and the incorporation of contrasting materials.
BELOW: Interior Classroom + Library Perspective Sitting above the cut-out east entrance, this room has views of the streetlife outside and radiates light in the evening hours.

EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTRE | COPPER CLIFF CHILDCARE RHINO | ILLUSTRATOR | PHOTOSHOP | INDESIGN INDIVIDUAL STUDIO PROJECT - FALL 2018 A 700m2 Early Childhood Centre designed for Copper Cliff, a mining town outside of Sudbury, Ontario. The thesis of my project developed around the idea that through each module of the building you could be on top, inside, outside, or within that form. By blurring the line between the architecture and the object, a large play structure is created as the building.

5 ICE SKATING HUT | GEO-HOME ITERATIVE MODEL DESIGN | BUILD TEAM OF 15 STUDIO PROJECT - FALL 2016 Built to be part of the Ramsey Lake public skating path in Sudbury, Ontario. This ice skating hut was created with the intention of being a place to tie your skates or take a rest on the path. Made entirely of 2x3 lumber, the final form minimized material cost and fabrication time through modularity. The structure was 100% biodegradable - constructed of all handmade joints, dowels, and twine - completely without the use of glue or nails. 30

PLAY STRUCTURE | TRI-FECTA ITERATIVE MODEL DESIGN | BUILD TEAM OF 14 STUDIO PROJECT - FALL 2018 With the task of creating a play structure for 2-5 year olds that was part of a larger ‘croquet’ game, the design process began by working through elements which would be stimulating to the children. Light, Sound, and Colour would become these driving elements which led to a play structure built from modular elements which could be interacted with during play by the children. I worked on figuring out the connection angles and then constructing all the wood frames.
