'SALANTERN' | 2023

'FOLIUM' | 2021
'boat shelter' | 2018
A much needed boat and waterfront equipment shelter. Replacing a shipping container, this design held up to the challenge of organizing and framing the available space. Set between two massive trees, the site provided both programmatic and logistic constraints to create a delicate mesh of nature and built form.
BOAT SHELTER Design and Build team:
Tory Michak, Alena Pavan, Niloufar Goodarzi, Samuel McFaul, Mark De Souza, Nicolas Dagenais-Lussier, Vivian Lim, Amy Wu, Natradee Quek, Kathy Oke, Will Reive
On-site Instructor: Lys Hermanski
Instructor: Greg Johnson
