UNDERGRAD

The objective of this project was to design a comprehensive housing solution for a given site in Ottawa. This site, on the West on of the city, was particularly interesting because it was adjacent to a bridge, allowing for two levels of “grade” access; one from the top of the bridge and another from below. Currently, there is no access to allow for travel between these two levels. With this is mind, I designed the site around a public path that extends from the top of the bridge towards the lower level. Around this, a series of stacked towns are located, using the change in grade to allow both levels to be at “ground”. On top are two point access towers. These are centered around the South-West corner as to interfere less with the lower residential urban fabric located to the North-East. These towers embrace each other at a podium to create a public space engaging the community.
