3. Landscape architecture is a profession to design for and consider every
aspect imaginable. Age, gender, race, geographical location, weather,
altitude, culture, and so much more. This is why I am attracted to this
profession. Diversity is the key to life. Creating a new design is to
create a new opportunity for fun, remembering, stillness, adventure,
celebration, or mourning.
My work is intended to inspire, spark an excitement, and represent
the diversity that there can be in the world. I believe that landscape
architecture is a continually evolving profession that will never rest or
have one perfect solution. The key is to find the best possible solution
at that time for the people it will be affecting. My goal is to continue to
define what role I can play in the world to create projects that engage all
individuals that may use a space.
DESIGN STATEMENT
5. 2
Since 2007, I have had the opportunity to work in building and landscape
construction as well as multiple design firms. Displayed, are two
constructio projects I had designed and completed building, as well as a
full landscape design while in a design firm. I have worked in Manitoba,
Alberta, and British Columbia, dealing with many project scales, clients
and professional environments. Most of the work I have been able to
design or be a part of has been built. My scope of work has ranged from
detailed residential design to six Vancouver city blocks of plazas, parks,
parkettes and promenades.

01Urban Jungle
St. Amant Cottage, Winnipeg, MB
This was a small side project
completed for St. Amant Hospital in
Winnipeg, MB. The client had asked
for a simple rendering and short
video for a sample of what the fully
accessible cottage may look like.
I then modelled the cottage from
some given plans and co-ordinated
with the hospital to create a video.

One sample of a residence I helped to
design for Aloe Designs. This design was
completed for a small family located in
Richmond BC with two small children.
Key features of this design were the water
gurgler located to the northwest on site and
the custom built play house on the north east, as
well as the entertaining area in the centre while still
being able to watch over the children. After designs
were completed, I helped to construct and install
according to the plans we had developed.

03Enns Gauthier
Zonda Nellis, Vancouver, BC
Zonda Nellis is a narrow 4-storey tower
commercial/residential project where we
completed a green roof, roof patio, two
separate lower patios and the streetscape to
the store fronting Granville Street.
The client requested custom furniture,
custom tile entry feature, feature walls, and
lighting throughout the design.

Having the opportunity to be a part of a design competition is very
valuable and highly recommended. Each competition I enter brings
very interesting new insights on design possibilities and knowledge on
new world problems. A slightly different form of thinking is required for
many competitions. A few lessons I have learned are to always question
the brief, stretch all design boundaries to their limits because you have
to stand out above all other designs, and always have fun, it is a unique
opportunity.

Innovators, makers, merchants,

in Edmonton. Industry’s
position on the periphery of
the city reduces opportunities
for engagement and exchange .
Seed brings together makers,
merchants, and innovators
to form an urban industrial
community. Productive

city life.

CORES AND COLLABORATION
The COREis a central space around which program is organized.
It not only serves as both a formal and informal meeting space for
tenants but simultaneously is a space that allows engagement with
curious community members who pass through the building.
The STUDIOis a space for ideas and innovation, housing the
day to day operations of burgeoning businesses in a flexible and
adaptable open floor plan.
The LABprovides a means to prototype and test various product
designs from mock-ups to fully functioning finished prototypes.

The MARKET is one of the many advantages that SEED
provides to growing your business. A space from which to grow
revenue during development and to create relationships with, and
gain feedback from customers.
The WORKSHOP offers the skilled fabricators and facilities
needed to bring ideas to life. While a more permanent fixture of
the building the constant challenge of creating new products in
innovative ways will create a greater diversity in the range of skills of
its workers.
Collaboration is integral to
the success of SEED and the
companies which are supported
by it. The buildings are intended
to foster this collaboration as
much as possible and rather
than be devoted to a single
use can meet many of the
needs of a growing business
through a solid foundation of
infrastructure for fabrication
and prototyping accompanied
by more flexible spaces that
accommodate the dynamic
growth of tenants who work in
the space.

The Brewery
serves as the public interface between the
district and the surrounding community, part
resource centre part exhibition space.
The District
This system is realized through complex sec-
tional relationships within individual build-
ings which in turn form a secondary network
that links the social and collaborative spaces
across the broader district.
The Woodland
shelters the community from Edmonton’s
strong northwesterly winds and strengthens
connections between a green corridor to the
North and cycle paths to the east.
The Commons
is home to the support network which largely
differentiates the SEED district from other
industrial areas offering services in education
and as a place to house large events and
gatherings.
Merchant Promenade
offers flexible spaces along its edges for the
sale of products manufactured on site allowing
for dialogue about customization and for
feedback on products.
Exhibition Hall
provides a space to showcase some of the newly
launched products generated within the SEED
district.
The Hub
is a public space formed by the support
buildings of the SEED district where major
events such as festivals and product launches
can occur allowing engagement and
excitement to be fostered with the public.

Throughout my education in the fields of landscape architecture and
environmental design, I have completed a total of ten studios. Each
studio has offered different expertise to help guide me through the
projects and new experiential knowledge on a wide variety of topics
and landscapes. Typically, my expertise has revolved around larger scale
masterplanning, then moving to a larger scale to provide some closer
details of the designs.

Imagine yourself in a sea of gold, waves
of wheat surround you, encompass you.
Imagine yourself adrift in this sea, tossing
and turning, waiting for a destination, a
deserted island, an oasis, a break.
Imagine yourself in this speck of green, a
place along the horizon, a canopy of color,
the only hope you see. Living within this
space, among a community of people.
People who live, work, and play together.

Shooting Star Mound

Heimatsiedlung, located in Frankfurt, Germany
was to be relocated and redesigned for
Winnipeg, Manitoba as a landscaping project.
Located in rural northern Winnipeg, this
urban setting of Frankfurt was completely
restructured to more appropriately fit its new
setting.
The mound was of great importance to the
sight. A proper use of excess soil was to be
used in an efficient way. The design of the
mound was meant to both use the extra soil,
help to protect against prevent prevailing
winds, and provide another area of possible
activities.
Excavation of the site was necessary in order
to fulfill the needs of the development
design, basements for all units. This excess
soil was not shipped out of the site but was
used to build the Comet Trail Mound and the
Comet Mound. Because of the nature of the
Comet Trail Mound, as allotment terraces,
the excavated topsoil was put to use on
the mound to promote the growth of the
resident’s personal gardens, and apple trees.

Model
The wheat fields surrounding the model are made from grass
matts that have been cut to fit within the model area and
around the oasis of Jade City. The wooden pieces of the
model were laser cut from quarter inch birch plywood. The
mound made within the model has a vertical exaggeration
of two times. This was to represent the importance of the
21. 18
mound as well as more easily show the viewer its form. The
only trees on the mound are apple trees.
All other cuts within the model were etched using a laser
cutter. These objects include playgrounds, allotment
gardens, sports fields, sidewalks, streets, and private
gardens.

Colony Farm Regional Park sits somewhat dormant in a state of separation.
This 404 hectare piece of land offers a great potential to connect to
its surroundings while raising awareness and education of agricultural
practices and wildlife protection. Education plays an important role for young
and old. Developing Colony Farm into an educational destination offers the
opportunity to complete land use while creating a precedent for knowledge,
conservation, and entertainment.
Colony Farm is currently a part of the Agricultural Land Reserve and was
once used for agricultural production purposes. Although the park is still

ALR, there is no longer any agricultural practice here. Instead, most of the
eastern portion of the park has slowly become conservation lands for wildlife
protection.
Colony Educational Park is designed to integrate past and present uses while
providing education for future generations. This new design motions to act
as a catalyst for urban farming, to develop with food and wildlife in mind, and
awareness to how daily products are made and where they are coming from.
CEP offers the opportunity to teach individuals how to grow their own food and to
source out better choices for food and design.

BUILDING FEATURES include sky-
lighting, parking ramp with rooftop parking, and
bridges connecting the buildings with rooftop
pathways and gardens.
The DISCOVERY CENTRE is a centre
for visitors to further learn about agriculture, urban
farming, and how to properly implement such
initiatives throughout the city.
The SEED BANK acts as a reserve for seed
storage for future generations. They are stored here
for both protection of biodiversity and food crops.
The RERC The Restoration Ecology Research
Centre is a space for researchers to further study
and develop solutions for restoring degraded,
damaged, or destroyed ecosystems.
The ARC The Agriculture Research Centre is
a space to further research potential for new crops
and innovative ways to store and grow seeds for
future generations.
The GALLERY is an access for the public to
watch and learn what research is currently underway
in the RERC, ARC, and along the seed bank.
The VIEWING DECK is a place to sit
out in the sun or under the canopy for shade and
protection from the rain, all while taking in the
