2. Before you lies my Portfolio,
A symbolic title which can be
read in one or two words.
Besides the usual portfolio
information it accentuates the
essence of [my] architecture
form. Form that follows but
can also be leading,
archetypical or atypical, form
arising from the mass or from
the void. In any case, a form
that is clear and
understandable.
In my projects I am always
looking for a powerful
simplicity, natural elements
that primarily result from
studying and [re]defining the
program, instead of merely
facilitating it. Therefore in my
eyes design and research
reinforce each other and my
presented projects show my
interpretation of this.

Bergeron Centre for Engineering
Excellence at York University, Toronto
, Canada (Flynn Canada). 2014 - 2015
Project Coordinator
The Bergeron Centre, known for its unique
architectural design, is heightening the learning
experience of students at the Lassonde School of
Engineering by fostering creativity and emphasizing a
hands-on approach
The project worth total of $115 million, the 169,500-
sq-ft centre with five floors and a green rooftop
boasts a façade of 8,000 triangular metal panels and
windows in a mathematically derived Penrose pattern
that never repeats. The design drew its inspiration
from Georgian Bay and the iconic Canadian image of a
cloud floating over a rock.
The building substrate framing is designed with the
complex geometry of the rainscreen system in mind.
A modular pre-framed structural unit was developed
through a highly coordinated BIM information
exchange process which resulted in custom support
collar detailing at window openings. As part of Flynn
Canada in the role of Project Manager, my team
successfully designed a system of extrusion, sub girts
and panels. After comprehensive analysis of the
geometry of the building, my team and I created a
unique two-piece girt system to provide concealed
attachment for the ACP panels, and a method to allow
for up to 1” of tolerance within the wall assembly
through reveal gaps in the cladding. Flynn was
responsible for the design and installation of the
building envelope including: coordination of the rain
screen, ACP panels, punch windows, and green roof.
My job: Responsible for execution and delivery of the
complete building envelope, including: curtain-walls,
punch windows, siding, ACP panels, and green roofing.

Hospital in downtown Toronto. The hospital communicates its purpose through a bold L-shape building and a
strong street presence in the new “welcome box” pavilion, glazed vibrant pink at the second level to further
identify the hospital’s mission. Black & McDonald's scope of work includes all procurement, installation, testing
and commissioning for the mechanical, HVAC, sheet metal, electrical and communications systems within the
facility.
My part in this project was to design all Mechanical, Electoral, HVAC and Plumbing drawings from 2D Auto-Cad to
3D Revit and NavisWorks. And to detect and solve all crashes in the building through BIM system. Due to my
experience in construction designing, it was easy for me to understand the structural element of the building
and design all mechanical, plumbing and electoral elements in the building.

This project was a 20th-century small ranch-style house.
The owner requested no changes to the north/front façade.
The extension of the building was designed on the
south/back elevation.
In order to keep the north/front façade intact, the
south/back façade was stripped to make room for the new
living room, master bedroom, and kitchen. Additional
windows were added into the design on the back façade to
allow for natural light throughout the home and as a unique
design element. I created a concept design, schematic
design, and the design development. Additionally, I
established both Revit 3D and CAD standard drawings for
the existing building and addition, adjusted the design to
OBC, created working drawings, field review, site project
measurements, and worked on space planning all in
coordination with the client.
The project entailed the design of a
new living room, a master bedroom
with walk-in closet, a spare bedroom,
2 bathrooms, kitchen, laundry room,
and redesign of the existing
basement. The first step was to create
a logical and functional new layout
within the limits of the existing
bearing walls.

18. The District of Tomorrow is an innovative program in
which educational institutions, researchers,
businesses, and public authorities join together to
create an exciting environment for the transition to a
sustainable built environment at the European
Science and Business Park Avantis in
Heerlen/Aachen. Avantis is the site where The
District of Tomorrow is actually being created. This
pioneering concept involves designing, studying, and
testing sustainable technologies so that they can be
utilized "tomorrow" in towns, neighbourhoods, and
buildings within the Meuse-Rhine Euregion.
The project began in 2006 when the directors of the
building and technology faculties announced their
aim of setting up a "Research and Innovation Centre
for Building and New Energy" at the Avantis Cross
border business park. The aim of the Centre is to
give students a learning and research environment
for new building techniques, with the emphasis being
on sustainability.
As the final project of the undergraduate program in
Architecture & Construction at Zuyd University, the
Zero- Energy Home was part of bigger project: The
District of Tomorrow. The primary objective was to
create a residential home that would be sustainable
and zero- energy, as well as, being a flexible living
space that with time could be easily modified to
correspond to the ever-changing demands of its
residents.

19. This project combined my design curriculum with the
sustainable and environmental technology course
through University of Zuyd and University of Dalft the
Netherlands, requiring not only a thoughtful and
rigorous design, but also a series of renewable energy
technology sections and details to ensure that my
design was both feasible and structurally sound. The
overall design reflected the cradle to cradle ideology
through use of a Lego wall system and is 99% reliable on
nature.
Zero- Energy Home with
Flexible Living Space
Individual Design Project
The wall system which I designed made it possible for
residents, through simple modifications, to actually
increase or decrease the actual square footage of their
household to reflect the needs of their family at the
present.
By sustainable design, the water and energy consumption
are minimized. Internal cycles are optimized by
integrating renewable energy within the district.
This project illustrates how it possible to construct
complete urban areas within sustainable energy
requirements such as those within The District of
Tomorrow and this Zero- Energy Home blueprint.

Individual Design Project
My design consisted of underground
parking, three floors consisted of
offices/work spaces, and a cafeteria on
the top level.
These hand drafted drawings were
created to accompany my design
building. They illustrate wall assemblies
and various construction details. This
project was based on an earlier design
assignment where I was required to
create a one-building structure.

21. Orbis Medical Park
Hospital Sittard, the
Netherlands
Site Manager
Internship & work
Research: The aim of this project was
to study a practical and tangible issue
that occurs often during construction
and determine a solution. My work
centered around deviations and
tolerance in the building structure.
During the constriction of Orbis
Atrium, I discovered deviation and
tolerance by ellipse X, Y, and ellipse
associated with bridges in the building
elements. These components in the
Atrium of the hospital are the unique
features of the Maasland Hospital.
My job: Responsible for complete
development and construction of
second floor (Technical &
Installation units), for execution
and delivery of fifth and sixth
floors (high-tech operation
rooms), and seventh and eighth
floors (patient rooms). Also
responsible for safety supervision.
New Concept: This project was not just
about the construction of new buildings.
Key innovations include the absence of
private consulting rooms for doctors, who
work in Orbis’s ‘knowledge and expertise
centre’, where they have access to
patients’ dossiers stored on computers
throughout the building. All patients have
private rooms with divans for overnight
use by family members ( design function
of Orbis Hospital points out the dual
function of helping patients and taking
part of the burden off the nursing staff),
sliding glass doors (for facilitating regular
checks by staff) and curtains (for privacy).
The main functional idea of Orbis
emphasizes that this hospital is
considered a ‘meeting place’, where the
‘patient is the owner of the facility during
the meeting. That means the doctor visits
the patient instead of the patient the
doctor.’ The Hospital of the Future,
another name for the Orbis Medical Park,
comprises six centres, of which four are
devoted to patients and one, the Logistics
Centre, handles goods and supplies.
Patients, staff and supplies converge only
where necessary, a set-up that eliminates
time-consuming walks and searches.
