A purely conceptual exercise, the goal was to create high-quality architectural renderings which communicated the intent of an original design, done with the intent of entering a specific, predetermined architectural competition.

An experiment in urban design as well as architecture, the task was to create a building that integrated with Toronto's lively, creative and ever-changing area of West Queen West as well as made a statement on the otherwise low-rise, historic block.

This project was based on a real-life home, and involved generating the design drawings for an extensive renovation. The process included meetings with clients, a site measure and corresponding as-built drawings, as well as the final design presentation and some select technical.

During a third and final co-op term (after finishing the two-year technician program), these working drawings were generated at the office, after obtaining the design work from the corresponding department. Included are a selection of drawings from projects on which I acted as primary technician.
