1. KULTE CENTRE FOR CONTEMPORARY ART
RABAT, MOROCCO
2025
This project was completed during my internship at Aziza Chaouni Projects in Fes, Morocco. We were tasked with the revitalization and adaptive reuse of the British consulate house from the 1890s. I managed and completed various design tasks of the project, including making the 3D model, creating a range of orthographic drawings, signage packages, and furniture design for the three floors. Since this is a historic building, it was necessary to learn the rules and limitations around adaptive reuse and allow our designs to benefit from the constraints. All designs and drawings are made for Aziza Chaouni Projects and are the property of ACP.

2. A NEW MASTERPLAN FOR ABERDEEN MARKET REDESIGN
FREETOWN, SIERRA LEONE
2024
This is a design proposal for the revitalization of Aberdeen Market in Freetown, Sierra Leone. Our project responds to a series of major issues affecting the site, including congestion, inefficient use of space, a lack of a sewage system and energy grid, as well as general dilapidation. Canopies are designed to collect rainwater and store it underground to allow for access to potable water all year, including during the dry season. The playground is shielded by a bamboo structure which connects directly to the ground, allowing children and spectators to climb on and play or enjoy a view of the game. Solar panels on the roof of the market allow for electricity within the market; a resource that is currently lacking for the vendors. We utilized the existing field to create a community space which includes many public amenities: a soccer field, a playground, dry toilets, an outdoor gym, concession stalls, and a redesigned mosque.

2025
The course Urban Leftovers refers to the parts of the city which are often overlooked, whether they be abandoned lots, aging industrial buildings, or even small discarded objects found on sidewalks. Tasked with proposing a one-year design proposal, our team visited the site and documented physical artifacts - things like broken bricks, flyers, oil spills, and scraps of wood. These remnants became guides into the types of programming the community needed as we developed a series of modular elements for the reimagined space.

4. AN INCLUSIVE BLOOR ST. WEST
TORONTO, CANADA
2022
This project explores how Bloor Street West could become a space providing services to more people than just the shoppers on the street. Other users could benefit, such as students nearby these areas, and for service workers who run the shops and spaces. A communal kitchen, resting platforms, and playground are proposed to be implemented on the street to invite a larger demographic into the area. The project explores how public spaces can not only be decorative, but also able to adapt and perform based on the multiple uses and lives that might need it.
