Lake Joseph Boathouse

PROFESSIONAL

Page 5: Zak Fish Portfolio

5Lake Joseph Boathouse Altius Architecture Inc.

The design of this boathouse is driven by stringent guidelines prescribed in the zoning by-laws. The project carves into the pitched roof tradition of the area and extends views out towards the lake, taking a modern twist on the established building typology. In a site-specific approach, views are directed towards desired locations along the lake. Elements of addition in the rectangular dormers add headroom and allow the boathouse to inhabit the maximum building area, while balanced with an element of subtraction in the second-floor deck. This outdoor space is carved out of the roof through my discovery of a by-law loophole. Acting as an extension of the interior living area, the dwelling is perceived to be larger than zoning restrictions will allow. The elevations are considered as a wrapping of material integrating openings and cutouts of contrasting material adding to the dialogue between building elements.

Defining Space in the CityThe City Defining Space

Altius Architecture Inc.Toronto Harbourfront Centre Exhibition Interviewed on OMNI TV

Published: Globe and Mail

The six-month exhibit I designed explored the socio-economic factors of Toronto neighbourhoods in the context of space. Using GIS mapping software, census data was distilled and reconfigured to present a visual and statistical comparison of commonly known neighbourhoods in Toronto. Several thousand visitors were invited to mark where they lived and where they would like to live in the city. They would then observe as the interactive map changed presenting information ranging from transit infrastructure to the cost of living and questioned if their personal insight and perception of Toronto neighbourhoods would be changed. Other graphics displayed the housing typology and the cost of 1m2 in the city contrasted with the amount of space each person has in their neighbourhood. As a populace we shape Toronto, but as individuals and families, it is Toronto which shapes the way we live.

7Lion’s Head Cottage

This cottage nestles into a terraced landscape, providing spectacular views of Georgian Bay. Focusing on solar design strategies, the facade wraps around the building opening up towards the southern sun and dramatic shoreline view. Large overhangs in the terraced floor plates work in combination with other sustainable strategies to provide a comfortable living environment. The circulation is fully integrated into the cottage’s unique display space, which is a central focus in the design.

At Hariri Pontarini, I helped develop the firm’s first projects to use Revit for the Design Development project phase. Completing the Rezoning Application drawing sets for both projects, I learned quickly, challenging the ways the office used its software, while sharing the lessons from my experience.

The curving Davenport Street facade of the Designer’s Walk development was resolved using three overlapping structural grids to facet the building’s curve, minimizing irregularities in the upper floors of the terracing condo units. Close attention was also given to the projects grading to create ground-floor entrances on both the north and south sides of the building.

The King Portland Centre posed a unique set of technical challenges to align the varying floor heights of the intertwining office and residential towers. For the Rezoning Application, close attention was given to the residential, retail and office buildings exiting requirements, car and bicycle parking and access of emergency and refuse vehicles through the sites existing network of laneways.

The View From My Desk1” : 1200’ 3D printed inlays in solid wood model

For the Carnegie Mellon School of Business I worked directly with Partners and Directors in the design and creation of presentation material for over 30 design options in the Faculty Programming Concept and Site Selection Study. In addition to being responsible for the digital and physical models, I created and coordinated the 200-page final report.

Developed presentation material for the 380-metre high-rise, mixed-use development in Mumbai, India. Currently under construction, it is slated to be the second tallest building in the country.

With a focus on precision and craft, each of the 83-floor plates were hand cut to achieve a pristine white finish.

A Simple House - Veere, the NetherlandsIn the design of a traditional, yet modern, home situated in an old historic Dutch village, I worked directly with Burton Hamfelt to adapt the simple vernacular volume for the site. Through iterative design utilizing digital and physical modeling, we investigated and developed site-specific spatial relationships directing views to the neighbouring Great Church.

MBO College North - Amsterdam, the NetherlandsCollaborating with OZ-P Architecten, I worked with Burton Hamfelt to help create design development and interior design presentation material. Identifying any conflicts that arose while exploring different design options, I ensured that 3D computer and physical models corresponded to the latest 2D design work.

Flooding is estimated to represent 40% of all natural disasters in the world and is one of the most tangible results of climate change. As the third poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, Nicaragua is struggling to adapt. Previous solutions to relocate communities in flood-prone areas failed in Nicaragua because residents have refused to leave their land of origin, leaving people in uninhabitable homes still threatened by flood waters. Working with CO2 Bambu, a Nicaraguan social enterprise that trains and employs local and indigenous workers to build low-cost housing, I helped research, design and prepare funding and grant proposals for the development of an affordable amphibious home prototype and 20-home pilot community. With the urban planner, engineers, CEO, Board Members and international NGOs I developed target milestones, projected the budget and R&D timeline.

Amphibious housing is an innovative and proven housing technology that allows buildings to rest on the ground like a traditional home and float during floods, settling safely back in place as flood waters recede. Our development strategy for affordable amphibious homes will change how we construct in flood plains, having an impact for generations to come while developing a sustainable construction economy for the present.

Emerging from the tall grass, the teasel plant stands proud, a non-native species that is now considered invasive. This installation embodies the idea of human induced invasion, imposing the order of the city into nature, a grid of columns juxtaposed with the natural landscape. Each post is a minimalist interpretation of the biannual teasel, investigating the cyclical changes of form, collecting solar energy during the day and glowing each night. The uniform grid reinforces the rolling topography while the lights illuminate the landscape at night, acting as a beacon for the Common Ground public art exhibition to all the cars that pass by.

Downtown Cambridge has the highest vacancy rate in the region at over 40%. As the Co-Director of BRIDGE, a student-run not-for-profit organization, we raised over $40,000 to lease and transform properties on Main Street into spaces for community engagement. The vacant buildings became an urban laboratory for experimental programs of lectures, performances, workshops, exhibitions and creative initiatives.

As the heritage buildings are slated for development, the thesis proposed a mobile architecture that could move from storefront to storefront, bridging from short- to mid-term occupancy, while creating a unique identity with the ability to adapt as users’ needs and desires change.

Conceived to occupy absent space, the proposed mobile architecture is designed as a portable, reconfigurable toolkit that can aggregate and disperse to support different spatial programs. By making it easier and more appealing to use the storefronts, the design aims to embrace ephemeral action as a way to empower citizens to reclaim the city’s vacant space.

Each BOX is constructed from two CNC-cut plywood sheets and are assembled with custom-designed joints that do not require glue or mechanical fasteners. The circular and “L” shaped perforations can combine with off-the-shelf pegboard accessories or custom parts designed by the users to suit their various needs. The BOXs were designed to accommodate the 40+ events held over a one-year period at the BRIDGE locations on Main Street. Learning from the informal and planned activities, the function of the BOXs were designed to enhance use of the current storefronts and future locations.

Situated in the only undeveloped site in Rome’s historic Campus Martius, the “house for the city”, a mixed-use educational centre, reinterprets the palazzo typology on the Renaissance artery of Via Julia. At the intersection of the historic street and the proposed subway station, the project acts to create a new urban axis across the Tiber River, as first envisioned by the Italian Modernists. At a scale for pedestrians and cyclists, the project investigates architecture and urbanisim while connecting the Gianicolo Hill to the heart of the city. Built on top of ancient Roman stables, the project connects with the history of the city while presenting a vision for the future.

The pair of transformable seating was inspired by Sol LeWitt’s conceptual art of orthogonal linear geometry in multiple configurations (depicted right). The concept is to have the chairs synthesize successive combinations of horizontal and vertical lines in multiple configurations. Constructed from CNC-cut plywood profiles, they can be mass-produced, flat-packed and shipped before assembly. The friction-fit joint design allows the chairs to be built without mechanical fasteners.
