Study Break.

Just came across this absolute gem.

What an incredible structure. Why complicate simple buildings with walls, roofs etc?

Curves all around this fantastic little creation.

Some sort of home, I suppose. Bold, striking and yet quintessentially organic.

Love it. Here's more info

It's been a while...

Far too long since my last blog, and I figured I should use this opportunity to discuss my latest project

Sustainable Design of a hypothetical student residence in Burnaby


Quite a few ideas have been running thru my head, but I love the idea of modular homes in a versatile design.




The ideal of modularity combines form and function. Attractive form, and functional construction.

But herein lies the problem - a fixed design concept (straight edges and for lack of a better word, boxy).

The combination of bio-mimicry and modularity seems to be the key. Tying together attractive design and sustainable practices. I call it, bio-mod design.

The concept in held together by simple form for the structure and bio-mimicry for the facade.

Let me know what you think! Will post pics of my design ideas
