Combining local, innovative materials, modern design, and "off-the-grid" energy solutions, "Compact Coastal Living" seeks to re-imagine the traditional summer cabin. At under 180 square feet, the space is divided into four distinct quadrants, but encourages users to slide open windows and doors, blurring the line between indoor and outdoor space.
Sixty° Home

The 60 Degree Home is a project that examines the essential aspects of living in small dwellings.The aim was to design a 160-square-foot housing unit that can be arranged into a larger system. While the chosen site was the Great Northern Way Campus in Vancouver, a developing community of four academic institutions, the small home will address the needs of students and newcomers to Vancouver. Another important part of the project was to demonstrate the benefits of using Cross Laminated Timber, an emerging material that is suitable for building prefabricated homes in BC. A collaboration with Lorea Sinclaire, Rachel Simpson, Mina Ghaani.
Medical Imaging Device

description
This project was an exercise in large scale model making for 3D Design Concentration with Greg Corrigan (White Box Design). The requirements were that the medical imaging technology must fit inside the structure and it must be able to adjust and scan several different parts of the human body. The structure is meant to appear friendly and mask the technology with a gentle form.
