The Indigenous Peoples in Canada are an inspirational example of resilience due to their ability to withstand adversity and persevere through generations of oppressive colonial policies. Historic injustices persist, including the effects of cultural genocide from the residential school system of Canada. Jonathan Sabeniano Jonathan Sabeniano Here we symbolize bridging the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Peoples through gathering.

Clearly delineating space for a single mother and her teenagers was a primary consideration for this relatively small home. Spaces had to be segregated without feeling choppy, while also maintaining an open, airy environment. Photolux Studio/Christian Lalonde Overlooking a beautiful river valley, the house was conceived as a simple masonry volume with the ground floor being dedicated exclusively to the teenagers with bedrooms, TV area and sports equipment storage. The second storey features all of the common living spaces, as well as the master bedroom and bathroom. The 2 levels are joined by the double-height entryway and hallway below, creating the illusion of the primary living level floating above the serene vista beyond. Photo... Altro

La residenza Stacey-Turley si trovava su un lotto stretto, dove la larghezza massima di una nuova costruzione poteva essere di soli 24 piedi. Inoltre, le norme urbanistiche non consentivano finestre laterali, quindi un'ulteriore sfida era quella di massimizzare la luce. Se a questo si aggiunge che il giovane medico e professore di letteratura con due figli piccoli desiderava rimanere nella casa per più di mezzo secolo, abbiamo capito che dovevamo fare le cose per bene. Photolux Studio/Christian Lalonde La luce è stata una considerazione fondamentale. Abbiamo iniziato arretrando il più possibile la casa all'interno di un paesaggio che è stato modellato insieme all'architettura, trasformando di fatto il "semi... Altro

Moncton, the largest city in New Brunswick, Canada, is unlike any city in the nation. It features the bustling city life of Toronto or Vancouver, while surrounded by large waterways and coniferous landscapes. It truly is a one-of-a-kind city filled with artistry; some created by humans and others carved into existence by nature (like the Hopewell Rocks just 30 minutes from the city). Additionally, the maritime province is an excellent place to enjoy fresh seafood thanks to the large bodies of water that flow to Moncton’s shores from the North Atlantic Ocean. Known as the “Hub City” to locals, the area is centrally located to some of Canada’s best sights throughout the New Brunswick and Nova Scotia provinces. ... Altro

This concept design for a pediatric care and community center in Canada near Toronto was completed for Grandview Kids, a non-profit organization that provides family-centered care for children and youth with physical, communication, and developmental needs.

Those who love nature belong in Riverview New Brunswick Canada; at least according to the locals. The name lends itself to the views one can expect while in Riverview, as the Petitcodiac river runs above and around the city. Whereas the Acadian Forest surrounds the southern end of the area with luscious coniferous and deciduous trees to bring high air quality to individuals who are so lucky to experience it. Within Riverview, NB, is a newly developed apartment complex. The 5-story complex is home to 74 residents with unobstructed views of the Petitcodiac River. Situated just minutes from the Route 112 & Route 114 highways, residents have easy access to downtown Moncton, New Brunswick. Moncton, which is otherwise known as “Hub Cit... Altro

At the gateway to Algoma University in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, currently stands Shinhigwauk Hall, the former residential school where children from 184 First Nations communities across Canada were taken from their parents, families, culture and communities.

A new heart for the campus, the design intent of the Makwa Waakaa’igan Indigenous Centre of Cultural Excellence is to provide... Altro

Il nuovo Student Commons del Niagara College Welland Campus stabilisce un punto d'incontro accogliente all'interno del campus tentacolare e decentralizzato, creando un luogo di ritrovo flessibile dove gli studenti possono studiare, collaborare, mangiare e socializzare. Oltre a migliorare i servizi per gli studenti, il progetto aggiorna il campus degli anni '70 con un nuovo ingresso rivolto a nord, migliora sia il wayfinding che il branding con un trattamento grafico audace e apre l'edificio alla luce naturale e alle viste esterne.
