Exploring the built world through architecture, engineering, and urban development.
Explore a range of architectural, engineering, and personal design projects focused on spatial thinking, technical development, and the built environment.
AFFORDABLE RENTAL HOUSING INTENSIFICATION STRATEGY
A personal development-focused design study exploring how laneway and missing middle housing can introduce attainable density within suburban Calgary neighbourhoods.
STRUCTURAL DESIGN
Developed within AE 205 – Solid Mechanics II, this project explores the behaviour of frames, arches, and suspended structural systems through the design of a cable-supported pedestrian bridge to replace the existing outdated CPH bridge on campus.
CLIMATE RESPONSIVE DESIGN
The Oasis @ PHX is conceived as a climate-responsive community library shaped by the realities of Phoenix’s hot–dry desert environment, where solar heat gain is the dominant driver of building performance.
BUILDING ENCLOSURE PREFORMANCE ANALAYSIS & DESIGN
Located at the center of the university campus, the 1965 Modern Languages Building was selected for a transformative recladding and redesign to address poor thermal performance and an outdated exterior while enhancing energy efficiency, aesthetics, and user experience.
DETAILED FACADE ENCLOSURE DESIGN
The Artisan Forge was developed as an enclosure-first warehouse concept where material transitions, thermal continuity, and moisture control drive the design.
STRUCTURAL CONNECTION FOCUSED COMMUNITY DESIGN
Designed as a community gathering pavilion and local art showcase, the project emphasized structural detailing and connection design through the development of clean, constructible architectural assemblies.
TINY HOUSE DESIGN
A compact 10 m² retreat for visiting scholars on the University of Waterloo campus, balancing productivity, rest, and daily living through an efficient small-space design tailored to individual comfort and functionality.
INTRODUCTORY FURNITURE DESIGN
A first-semester university design project focused on using CAD-based methods to develop site furniture concepts that improved functionality, comfort, and user experience across the University of Waterloo campus.
Dive into a collection of analytical studies and exploratory work focused on cities, infrastructure, building performance, and emerging ideas shaping the built environment.
