SELECTED PROJECTS

LEBRETON FLATS - DEVELOPMENT IN OTTAWA

Prominent 160-acre riverfront site located in the downtown of Canada's Capital city of Ottawa. The proposal for its redevelopment is to reclaim one of the few remaining prime river-front sites in the city's core. The northern section of the site is to be retained by the federal government and will feature institutional uses of national significance (such as the Canadian War Museum), as well as a 9 acre festival park, a 11 acre river-front open space and other future federal facilities. The southern section, in its turn, will be a transit oriented, mixed use community, consisting of 4000 residential units and 3700m2 of commercial/retail spaces. One-hundred million ($100M) of federal funding was provided to remediate the site's soil and groundwater contamination, as well as to build new infrastructure, new road networks and park spaces. Work in the federal sector was completed in 2006. The mixed-use sector is presently under construction; the first 800 residential units are currently being built in conformity with federal design guidelines.

OTTAWA CONGRESS CENTRE PROPOSAL

Ottawa Congress Centre Urban Design Study: The objective of this particular urban design study was to provide guidelines for the expansion of the Ottawa Convention Centre. Three-dimensional, computer assisted analysis developed criteria to shape the profile of the proposed building, in order to protect the visual integrity of the National Capital Symbols (Parliamentary Precinct and Chateau Laurier Hotel) from the south, and to incorporate views of both symbols in a new urban composition as featured within the Colonel By Drive and Rideau Canal corridor.

OFFICE / HOTEL HERITAGE ADAPTIVE RE-USE PROJECT IN KRAKOW

This prominent proposal located in a heritage sector of Krakow consisted of transforming an old residence building into modern offices. An extended demolition of an already existent building (with the exception of the front and side facades) enabled the creation of interiors intended towards 1050 m2 of required office space that would eventually serve as a hotel function in the future. The heritage façades were restored to the requirements of the City of Krakow Heritage Department. The exterior and interior design, finishes and materials were likewise selected to respect the heritage principles of the neighbourhood whilst at the same time being modern and of the highest standards.
