Happy Hour Shower @ The Picker Shack

Design build project in Naramata, BC.

460 sq. ft. outdoor shower/ bath house.

Situated on a bluff within a orchard this space is intended to serve as both a communal gathering point for the owner and guests as well as a serviceable bath house for seasonal pickers who camp on-site during harvest months. Constructed from red cedar, the project in intended to mark the passage of time and gain patina with the passage of time and use.

"The privileges of conversation around a dining table and soaking in baths are ancient and timeless. Meeting new people, sharing ideas, telling stories, preparing and eating food together, while appreciating where the food came all contributed to our desire to re-imagine the act of waiting for a shower as an opportunity for social engagement and interaction."

Charred cedar walls provide a measure of privacy and uses depth to hide functionality. Spatially dividing wet and dry conditions allows for simultaneous intimate and communal experiences.

Comprehensive Studio w/ Matthew Soules 2012

Social Exchange Network.

Re-examining the current method of podium-tower condo in Vancouver’s Granville Slopes area. Dividing basic program elements of the typical apartment into sleep & living aspects provides a communal solution to encourage social interaction within tenants lacking in the current condo typology. Units are grouped into four sleep capsules to one living in response to population demand allowing for multiple units to be owned/ occupied by a family.

Haptic Studio w/ Rebecca Bayer 2011

Haptic Transport.

Haptic intervention within major city infrastructure. Public transportation within the city is consolidated from multiple disparate locations. Responding to the rhythm transportation schedules areas of pause are created to allow interaction of passengers with each other and with the city itself. Various levels of passage are created to allow slower sea wall pedestrian traffic to intersect but not interfere with rapid transportation flows.
