Cliffhanger pavilionSchool Project 1 - SSEF CompetitionIn collaboration with Wesley Chu
The Cliffhanger Pavilion is an entry to the SSEF Competition, with the theme of recycling. This pavilion uses recycled steel shipping containers to create an outdoor thrilling experience that overhangs the maritime cliffsides. The cantilevers portrays a seemingly unstable structre but in reality, is securely attached to the cliffside using recycled bridge parts. The strong shipping container frames are also able to withstand being stacked without further reinforcement.

MiniSh houSe
The Extra Small project was a design challenge to create a house with a square footage under
180sqm, with roughly the same dimensions as a small shipping container. The Minish House is
a house designed specifically for colder climates on mountainous terrains, using environmental
strategies to remain functional.

South Facade
North Facade
Solar panels and operable louvres help to maximize the effects of sunlight and create a comfortable environment.
Furthermore, the building’s is intended to exist off the grid, thus generating enough power to sustain itself.

DiminiShing WallSSchool Project 3 - Cambridge Rowing Club
The Cambridge Rowing Club is located north of Galt in Cambridge Ontario. The design challenge was to replace the exiting rowing club with a close look at materiality. This project uses heavy concrete walls to direct pedestrian movement. However, at the center of the courtyard, the material shifts to a lighter wood construction to create a whole new environment.

PBK ArchitectSCo-op Term 1
During my time at PBK Architects, I worked largely on one project. This project was St.Catharines Spectator Facility. Situated in the downtown core of St. Catharines Ontario, this spectators facility aims to revitilize the downtown area. The building is a 5000 seat multi-purpose spectator facility, future home of the OHL Niagara Ice Dogs. Additionally, PBK Architects worked alongside AR-COP Architecture Inc and GENIVAR, an engineering consultant firm. This allowed me to gain exposure to other firms and diciplines, as I would sometimes work on minor tasks with them.

Erebus and Terror - 2B School Play
Erebus and Terror was a class project to design and produce a play combining
the stories of Frankenstein and John Franklin’s lost expedition to find the
Northwest Passage. The project was completely student funded and run
under the guidance of the professor. I worked largely in the lighting and
acting team, as well as minor set and prop construction.
The play was a huge success and all three shows were completely sold out.
