The design provides collaborative spaces that will foster and cultivate student relationships and develop school identity. The building will achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum status, which recognizes designs in buildings that incorporate sustainable green initiatives.
Jaleois a Spanish word that means shindig, fun, racket, hubbub… It’s something positive, festive, good-natured. This is the aim behind the interior design of the new restaurant.

One of the main goals for the Bailey Park Apartments was to provide much needed housing sized for families in the heart of the city. Located steps from the Shaw Metro, the site is tapered, with one short side facing the street and one long side bounded by a public alley.

Working closely with city officials, the site was rezoned to replace four dilapidated townhouses with a 16-unit apartment building.

New paths, trees and structured plantings reinforce the geometry.

New fenestrations, including a giant oculus in the master bath, a band of transoms and sidelights in the kitchen, exploit light and provide views to the garden and the sky.
