objective
Involved in architecture for the past several years, I
have gained experience working both in Detroit, MI
and Vancouver, BC. Throughout THESE EXPERIENCES I
have explored the influence of technology on THE
ARCHITECTURAL process across projects of various
scales. Maintaining a strong connection with
design, I am interested in pursuing opportunitIES that
allow me to explore further the relationships
between DETAILING, FABRICATION AND CONSTRUCTION.

Social / exchange network
Redefining the typical autonomous
high-rise lifestyle, units are divided into
essential “sleep” and “live” functional
spaces. Redundant program elements are
then converted to alternating community
functions creating space for social
interactions not typical of Granville
slopes or of high-rise living in Vancouver.
The flexibility to join multiple “sleep” spaces
that share interconnected “live” areas
creates a variety of intermixed social
dynamics continuous throughout the
building.
Additional program spaces absent from the
Granville slopes community are integrated
on lower levels to invite interaction from
the surrounding community. These spaces
allow the building to facilitate a more
communal neighborhood thriving on
social interactions between residents and
non-residents alike.
