This commission encompassed two separate commissions. The first one was to develop a two story mixed used building on a 48 feet wide by 150 feet deep “party” lot. The second challenge consisted on the design of a new typology of hospitality: a cannabis lounge for the recreational consumption of Marihuana.
The project is facing Boulder’s Downtown Historic District, a Landmark area built around 1880 where most of the lots are 25 feet wide with brick party walls. After World War II plenty of these buildings were modernized with metal and precast facade panels.
In Toronto’s near suburbs, the sensitive redevelopment of low-density post WWII sprawl is a win-win opportunity whose time has come. Our residential condominium project is at the vanguard of this emerging phenomenon. The 2.5-hectare site ticks all the boxes- located along an underutilized arterial road in a forward-looking suburban municipality that has developed new planning guidelines for urbanization. Proposed at 6.46FSI, the density of our project is a model for development that addresses the housing shortage while at the same time establishing an environmentally responsible benchmark for preserving open space.
“Qufang Street” means Suzhou as the thoroughfare of Jiuzhou. The project is located at the exit of Suzhou east railway station, close to the greening axis of the square in front of the station. You can see a corner of the neighborhood when you leave the station. Adjacent to the super large-scale central park in the south, the green Suma future city (the domain name of the whole area) is implanted with a non-local scene experience business form integrating Jiangnan garden and Jiangnan ancient town style, creating a unique cultural landscape and simple commercial atmosphere, making it a gateway landmark of Suzhou east high speed railway.
For an international city at pace with the world’s best, Hong Kong was missing an internationally recognized home of comedy. Extruded high above the bustling Hong Kong streets, The Riff is a comedy centric space established to provide its patrons with a world class venue, with the sole aim to entertain.
The site located on the 8th floor above D Agulair street is in the centre of Lan Kwai Fong’s active night scene. The Riff chose this space as the perfect spot to bring the comedy club to life. The aim was to create a dedicated comedy auditorium with an adjoining bar that offered respite from the hustle below. The physical space had infinite possibilities, but the operational and regulatory restraints soon created a more rigid design brief.
Meeting point between the high mountains of the Pyrenees and the Landes forest, the southern coast of Anglet combines exceptional geography in a premium urban situation.
It is the true gateway to the city from its chic neighbor Biarritz.

IMAGO is the winning entry of the City of Montreal’s two-phase competition entitled ‘Vivre le chantier Sainte-Cath!’. St. Catherine Street, an important commercial artery in downtown Montreal is undergoing a four-year infrastructure improvement plan along several blocks, including underground infrastructure upgrades, incorporation of new public transit systems and increasing pedestrian sidewalk area and access. The project seeks to ameliorate the streetscape’s overall appeal, improve its functioning and promote economic growth over the long term. During the construction different segments of the street will be closed to car traffic, however pedestrian traffic and access to all stores will remain functioning. It is inevitable that this period of transformation will have an impact on people’s daily routine and the operation of the city.

A stacked rectilinear form, Bass Street Residence uses a series of subtly angled walls in opposing directions so the building composition creates a slight sense of tension between the property’s two key outlooks.
