site plan was to incorpo-
rate graphic components,
conceptual integration,

ty to design a subdivision
dedicated to sustainabili-
ty.
	 The plan was based
on a thorough analysis of
the cities developmental
standards and by-laws.

COMMUNITY DESIGNUniversity of Waterloo Campus, Conservation Subdivision │ Winter 2013
Design Brief
	 The aim of the com-
munity design was to cre-
ate a public space within
the subdivision that would
establish a place where
neighbours interact by
providing a healthy envi-
ronment sanctuary, where
families and individuals
can live for generations.
	 The concept for the
community space was
to encourage a healthy
lifestyle by creating open
space and recreation.
Along with, ensuring
walk-ability by providing
adequate trails.

Design Brief
	 The vision for the
architectural design was
to illustrate creativity and
originality in developing
houses within the subdivi-

resdiential house encom-
passes a complete, profes-

that contains landscape
elements surrounding the
building.

KEATS WAY DESIGN PROPOSALKeats Way Corridor, Waterloo, ON│ Fall 2013
Design Brief
	 The Keats Way pro-
posal was designed to
highlight features catered
to pedestrian experience.
The two main areas that
we focused on were “The
Mixer,” and “The Connec-
tion.”
	
	 These two areas will
improve pedestrian safe-
ty and visual aesthetics.
The design was created
to increase the visual ap-
peal as well as, aspects
that would encourage the
community to utilize the
area.

INTERSECTION DESIGN PROPOSALUniversity Ave. Corridor, Waterloo, ON│ Winter 2014
Design Brief
	 The intersection
design proposal for the
University Ave. corridor
was designed to highlight
features catered to active
transportation (walking
and cycling). The goal
was to reconfigure the in-
tersections within the des-
ignated area to promote
cycling use and make it
safer for both modes of
transportation.
	
	 Currently, active
transportation is minimal
throughout the corridor
because there is a lack of
concern for proper main-
tenance of the bicycle
lanes, as well as narrow
sidewalks.
