AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL
CONCEPT: HOUSE OF RIGHTS FOR ALL
Amnesty international is an non-profit organization
that protects human rights. Their motto is that
everyone deserves to live with dignity. The
concept for this office was to reinforce this idea,
allowing the space to act as branding. The idea of a
house of home and its associations were utilized to
convey a feeling of warmth, make the space inviting
and give a sense of comfort.

635 QUEEN ST. WEST
TORONTO, ONTARIO
Concept: Celebration
Throughout history, queen street west has thrived as
an energetic, eclectic neighbourhood that has been
home to immigrants, budding artists, and young
professionals alike.
While it seems that queen west has always been a
place for new beginnings, there is a strong sense of
history there too. My concept is based on this very
unique identity belonging to west queen west. It is
about the vibrancy of the neighbourhood now,
coupled with the nostalgia of the past. It will represent
the memories of the artists who contributed their
flavour to the area, and the immigrants who made it
flourish, while at the same time, it will be
representative of the cutting-edge trend-setters of
modern day residents.

MOBILE ONCOLOGY UNIT FOR REMOTE
RURAL AREAS
(COLLABORATIVE PROJECT)

11. HEALTHCARE: MOBILE CLINIC
CONCEPT: ADVENTURE JOURNEY BY SEA
The inspiration for our concept stemmed from three words;
journey, path and adventure. These words describe the emotional
experiences of cancer patients, especially children, and their
caregivers. The struggle to overcome the obstacle of cancer is a
journey full of choices, both good and bad. This train of thought
lead us to think of adventure in all its forms and we found that
stories are full of adventures at sea, on a ship. We had found our
concept. A ship represented a journey, the choices of paths were
limitless to the captain and each path could potentially provide a
different adventure.
12. INNISKILLIN WINERY

COLLABORATIVE TEAM PROJECT

CONCEPT: CROSSING BORDERS
The angled axis dividing the plan represents the border
between Canada and the United States. The angled
atrium is an outdoor space with a connecting bridge
across the second level. Private office space is
separated with a stone wall while the public area is
transparent to the outside because of the glass wall
partition. The concept of crossing borders is consistently
repeated through out the design.
15. DISPLAY UNIT OBJECT
CONCEPT: MOSAIC OF CREATIVITY AND DIVERSITY
The display unit will be a collection of cubes
designed by 3rd year students. The end
result is a diverse collection of designs
representing essentially the same thing;
Humber College, its students and the Interior
Design program.
I derived the concept from the diversity of
people, cultures and programs at Humber
and then narrowed it down to my specific
program (interior design) and then further to
my own cultural heritage.
