Exterior Residential Perspective
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 coworking space, along with a flexible temporary market, sports surface, and sliding hill.

Exterior Perspective - East Entrance
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.

Exterior Perspective - East
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.

North-South Section Through the modularity of the form, various room heights can be seen. Through the transition from public to their private play spaces, rooms become more the scale of the users.
Staggered East-West Section Cutting through the cubbies, front lobby, and outdoor play areas, these sections highlight areas where architecture and play are merged.

Exterior Perspective - South
An outdoor pavilion designed for the Elgin Greenway project in Sudbury, Ontario. This bus stop installation was based on freehand curves drawn to mimic topography lines. The structure would go below and above grade and allow the public to not only wait for their transportation, but also provide a place to rest on their way down the greenway, or sit and enjoy lunch or a conversation.

ICE SKATING HUT | GEO-HOME ITERATIVE MODEL DESIGN | BUILD TEAM OF 15 STUDIO PROJECT - FALL 2016

Photo By Teammate
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.

Photo By Teammate
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.
