JARDINS BOTA BOTA | MU ARCHITECTUREExpansion of the Bota Bota scandanavian spa in the Old Port of Montreal.

professional / academic / independant competition

Bota Bota is a Scandinavian spa located within a converted tug boat in the old port of Montréal. This project involved the expansion of the existing spa into the garden adjacent to the boat’s permanent docking site. The basic concept of the project was to surround a series of baths with lounging areas and pavilions containing all the elements of an authentic Scandinavian spa circuit. The program includes an ice bath, hot bath and pool around which there is a sauna, steam room and two relaxation rooms. The pavilions are made from modifi ed shipping containers in keeping with the nautical theme of the spa. The containers have large cantilevered green roofs that visually integrate the buildings with the surrounding gardens when viewed from the boat. The roofs are partially perforated to create a variety of lighting conditions throughout the spa for visitors to enjoy.

My responsibilities on this project entailed conceptual design and design development including full 3d model production, drawings and renderings, as well as supervision and execution of construction drawings.

BOULEVARD PITFIELD | MU ARCHITECTURE150 000 sq.ft. commercial project in the outskirts of Montréal


The Pitfi eld development is a conceptual design project for a large scale commercial development on the outskirts of Montréal. A novel typology for Montreal, the project entails the development of “commercial condos”, or offi ce space for purchase as real estate investments for the companies that occupy them. The structural system consists entirely of prefabricated cross laminated timber elements that could be easily delivered to the site and rapidly assembled. This system off ers signifi cant advantages over typical structural systems both in terms of cost and mitigating environmental impact.

The building skin consists of a standard triple glazed low-e coated curtain wall with fi xed louvers on the south-east and south-west facades. The solid portions of the façade are clad with laminate wood panels to match the structural wood of the interior. The three buildings are identical, but appear diff erent from any perspective due to the irregular arrangement of solid, glazed and void portions of the façade. Each offi ce space also includes at least one terrace to allow for outdoor meetings and breaks during the summer months, and increased access to natural light during the winter months.

RUE MENTANA | MU ARCHITECTUREResidential interior renovation and 3rd fl oor addition.


This project is an interior renovation and addition to an existing home in the heart of Montréal. The main ambition of the project was to unify the main features of the project in a playful gesture that provides continuity between the new and existing parts of the building in a visually striking way. The feature stair, skylight and terrace are merged together with a sculptural wood form that wraps the skylight, extends through the hall and erupts onto the terrace to create an enveloped shaded space.

My responsibilities on this project involved conceptual design, design development, parametric modelling, permit drawings, construction drawings and shop drawing automation.

LES STUDIOS RODEO | MU ARCHITECTURERenovation/Conversion - Industrial to Photography Studios


This project was a 9000 sqf conversion of existing light industrial space to the largest photography studio in Montréal. The intensive renovation included the creation of two large short term rental studios, offi ces, a resident photographer studio, kitchen studios for culinary fi lm and photography, and an outdoor terrace. The main ambition of the project was to simply create large adaptable studio spaces with generous connections between them and the outdoor terrace, while also fully renovating the exterior to create a refi ned industrial aesthetic.

I introduced the fi rm to BIM with this project by undertaking the construction drawings entirely in Revit. This also involved creating BIM standards and procedures for the offi ce and converting existing CAD resources to the Revit format. I was also responsible for creating all primers and training materials for the offi ce. I followed this project from start to fi nish including conceptual design, design development, permit drawings, tender documents, construction drawings, specifi cations, site supervision and close out.

ERP GURU | MU ARCHITECTUREOffi ce Renovation


This project was 16,000 sq-ft offi ce renovation for a software company in Montréal. The basic concept for the project was to create an internal layout that would encourage the cross fertilization of ideas between disparate departments in the offi ce which was achieved through a centralized circulation path with adjacent spaces for impromptu meetings and collaborative work.

The programming strategy for the offi ce was to provide employees with a variety of spaces for focused work, collaboration, informal meetings, learning, eating, relaxing and having fun. This was achieved by providing work and collaborative areas with various levels of privacy, a state of the art e-classroom, conference rooms, breakout spaces and a large bar/cafeteria.

My responsibilities included project management, conceptual design, design development, parametric modelling, custom furniture design and construction drawings.

TAICHUNG CITY CULTURAL CENTER | MU ARCHITECTUREInternational Competition


The scope of the Taichung City Cultural Center competition was to design a library and contemporary art museum in the heart of Taichung, Taiwan. Our strategy for the project was to stack simple volumes in an irregular fashion to frame views between the street and the park, create large plazas, provide vantage points for viewing the city and the park, increase access to light, create outdoor terraces, form a dramatic entrance to the Taichung Gateway Park and create an iconic landmark and cultural anchor in the city.

The intelligent skin actively adapts to views, solar exposure and daylighting requirements through the responsive distribution of solid aluminum panels, low-e coated glass, frosted/fritted glass and sweating skin panels.

I was the project lead for this competition and working with the team my responsibilities included conceptual design, management, all 3d modelling including the parametric façade system, rendering, diagramming, presentation materials and writing.

MASTERS THESISStochastic Lattice | A Generative Design Tool for Next Generation Timber Surface Architecture


Algorithm Iterations with Variable Density Settings

Experimental Lattice Atrium Elevation

Stress and Structural Density Correlation Analysis

This thesis project addresses the contradictory relationship between the ecological merits of wood construction and the signifi cant material intensity of recent free form timber surface structures. The building industry is now adept in the design and construction of freeform surface architecture, however new challenges have been introduced with the environmentally conscious desire to build these structures in wood. Lacking the formal versatility of steel and concrete, wood introduces a great deal of diffi culty in the realization of complex form at an architectural scale. Powerful digital tools have recently made it possible to construct these buildings, but at the cost of heavy structural solutions and signifi cant material waste resulting from subtractive fabrication processes. This approach contradicts the ecological benefi ts of wood, and raises the question of whether it is possible to achieve free and expressive form in timber surface architecture while maintaining an economy of means and material.

This question is addressed through the development of a generative design tool for the creation of material conscious free form timber surface architecture. The tool consists of a generative algorithm that integrates material, structure and form in a single computational process. Specifi c material saving techniques deployed in the algorithm draw from existing research in timber shell design and material optimization. Established methods in the use of geodesic lines for the structural patterning of wood shells and stress driven material distribution make up the core concepts deployed in the algorithm. The material system is developed, refi ned and tested through the design and construction of an experimental free form timber lattice.

TEXFAB TWENTY TWELVEEntry for the TexFab Applied Digital Fabrication Competition


Stochastic Lattice is an ongoing research project that seeks greater formal fl exibility and material economy in timber surface architecture through the implementation of computational fabrication in a design method that combines computer aided manufacturing with considerations of material behaviour and structural performance. As a rigid biological material that lacks the malleability and formal versatility of steel and concrete, wood is generally limited to linear structural members and fl at sheet materials that are typically not well suited to the creation of double curved surface structures. Digital fabrication grants unprecedented freedom in the design and construction of innovative surface architecture by enabling the creation of geometrically complex structural components. However, this often comes at the cost of signifi cant material waste.

Stochastic Lattice achieves formal fl exibility and avoids material waste through the mindful application of computational fabrication in a design method that simultaneously considers material limitations, structural performance, fabrication constraints and assembly logic. At the core of this method is a generative algorithm that employs a stochastic process to attain viable structural solutions that meet multiple performance objectives while conforming to established constraints.

The system consists of 75mm wide (1/8”) birch plywood strips that bend and twist in space to form a layered irregular structural network. The strips are joined using simple pin connections to create a surface structure with signifi cant variations in curvature.

CANADIAN PAVILION | CANADIAN ARCHITECTURE BIENNALEComprehensive Building Design Studio


Structural Axo

This studio project represents the culmination of my undergraduate degree; it is the integration and application of my acquired skills and knowledge in a complex building project. This design was developed to a high level of detail relative to typical studio projects with special consideration for the technical, environmental, economic and legal aspects of architecture often absent from speculative design studios. The comprehensive design includes structure, building envelope, environmental systems, health and life safety, movement systems, site planning and information systems. The project brief involved the creation of an art gallery to house travelling exhibitions.

The major aspiration of this project was to achieve greater sustainability through large design moves that work with the earth’s natural cycles. Such moves, like careful solar orientation and the creation of a high performance envelope enhance environmental comfort while minimizing the requirement for mechanically operated systems.

Another major focus for the project involves an investigation in structure, geometry and materials that explores the possibilities of using the inherent physical qualities of hyperbolic paraboloids to maximize the performance of the structural envelope using minimal material. The result is an impactful large scale space with sweeping geometry that is mindful of sustainability without compromising interior quality and sensorial experience.

The structural skin enclosing the gallery spaces consists of a stacked plank wood lattice system. The 38mm x 160mm members are built up and assembled on site in an overlapping manner to create a woven two way structural diagrid system. With wood being the only structural buliding material that is renewable, carbon neutral and low energy, this material choice for the lattice signifi cantly enhances the ecological performance of the project.

FEATHER IN THE GLEN BIRD SANCTUARYFirst Place 2009 SSEF Steel Design Competition


The aviary is located on the brink of the Niagara Gorge and operates primarily as an educational center focused on native species of birds found in the Gorge. The form of the facility not only allows for the visitors to observe the birds on fl at ground amongst vegetation, but the structure also extends down over the edge of the cliff where a generous stair carries visitors out away from the wall so that they may observe cliff dwelling birds in their natural habitat from an ideal vantage point.

The Feather in the Glen Bird Sanctuary is a large and extremely light structure achieved through a complex interdependence between tension and compression members in its structural system. Hollow steel sections span large distances made possible by the use of hundreds of tension cables that provide a high degree of lateral stability and stiff ness to the sections. The loads acting on the structure are reduced to their essential lines and picked up with a minimal use of the material. The interdependence of such a system consisting of a single material demonstrates the incredible versatility of steel.

SKETCHING ITALYSketches made while studying in Rome/touring Italy during 2008 and 2010.


These drawings are excerpts from the sketchbooks I kept while studying in Rome and traveling throughout Italy. Sketching served as the ideal means to study Roman architecture and obtain a deeper understanding of the spatial relationships, tectonics and ornamentation present in these buildings. This process of documentation, interpretation and analysis also granted the opportunity to develop and refi ne my sketching skills, which have become asset in problem solving and design.

PIAZZA DEI CINQUECENTOMasterplan for the redevelopment of Piazza dei Cinquecento, Rome.


The scope of this studio project was to create a comprehensive masterplan for Piazza dei Cinquecento outside Termini Station in Rome, Italy; while also developing a site strategy for the next project which entailed the creation of a new museum on the site to house the famous Torlonia Collection of classical statuary.

The major aspirations of the project were to:

• Greatly enhance the presence of ecology on the site to more accurately represent the ratio of built to green space in the city, which is currently under represented due to much of the vegation in the city being hidden behind the walls of private parks and villas

• Reconnect the severed aquaducts on the site to reintroduce and celebrate the presence of water in the city for recreation, bathing and irrigation

• Create a complex layering of transportation infrastructure and public spaces to transform the site into a major social hub in the city rather than simply a transportation node

• Create ideal site conditions for the introduction of a new museum to house the Torlonia Collection of classical statuary

TORLONIA MUSEUMMuseum to house the Torlonia Collection of classical statuary in Piazza dei Cinquecento, Rome.


This project is a continuation of the previous Masterplan project, which entails the refi nement of the overall site strategy and the design of a museum to house the Torlonia Collection. A contemporary piazza forms the heart of the site and is framed by a series of buildings that provide a sense of enclosure similar to that of Rome’s traditional piazzas. The sequence of the museum exhibition consists of a progression from the bright, public and communal experience of the main space, to the dark and intimate experience of the smaller gallery spaces.

The main space is reminiscent of a being below a tree canopy as one is shaded by the structure and photovoltaic frits. The next section of the museum gradually breaks down in scale to encourage a more intimate interaction with the pieces. The sculptures are isolated and lit from above to provide focus and encourage contemplation. The facade and roof are derived from a fractal a-periodic pattern that allows for a high degree of visual variation with an underlying order of repetitive components at a variety of scales.
