1 Lightwell Block
Design Studio, Winter 2011
Drawings: Ink on mylarModels: Basswood, millboard, and foam
Lightwells and glass floors channel sunlight deep into the lower levels of the archive. Sunlight from the north enters the workshop, while diffuse sunlight from the south is funneled into the lower exhibtion space and atrium. Stairwells are lightfilled spaces.
Orthagonal planes are irregularly placed, thus creating interesting moments and views throughout the archive. Walls are monolithic, but streamlined.
Site: 48-50 McCaul Street, Toronto, ON

Basswood Model
Building Construction & Visual Communications, Winter 2011
SSEF Biomimicry Competition EntryIn partnership with Chelsea Qiu
Model: RhinoGraphics: Adobe CS5
This suspended viewing platform design is inspired by the beauty and structural efficiency of the dragonfly wing. The seemingly flat surface of the dragonfly wing is actually strengthened through curvature and a high level of corrugation. Furthermore, the delicate form of a dragonfly wing fittingly suggests lift and flight. Extending 10 m out from the cliff side, the boomerang-shaped deck provides breathtaking panoramas of Helmcken falls.

Honeycomb Chair
ECUAD, Exploration of 3D Design, Spring 2009
Model: Corrugated cardboardDrawings: AutcCAD
This chair design mimics an architectural structure with its robust columnar base and frieze across the backrest. The double hexagon link design is modular so that the number of hexagons can be extended to accommodate larger seating arrangements if needed.

Structural Lace CladdingECUAD, Basics of Architectural Design, Summer 2009
Model: Luffa
The fibrous network of the luffa’s vascular xylem, which is strong and lightweight when dry, serves as the foundation of this structural fabric and cladding design. These clothing designs celebrate organic material and suggest a lifestyle that is “at one” with nature.
