Most memorable career moment thus far?
Being able to participate in the architectural rehabilitation of Canada’s Parliamentary Precinct has been extremely gratifying. Having access to innovative tools and point cloud data in collaboration with Heritage Conservation Services for Canada’s most iconic buildings and largest restoration project ever was a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Notable Projects
Centre and East Block of the Parliamentary Precinct Rehabilitation in Ottawa, ME Living Condos and 128 Hazelton Avenue residences in the GTA, and King George Lofts, a residential conversion of a century old heritage school house in Newmarket.
If not a designer, what would you be?
A purveyor of building materials. It’s hard to imagine not being involved with our built environment in some way, shape, or form.
