Urban Design Work

Site Analysis of Metrotown, Burnaby

In this collaborative project, we were tasked with analyzing the built environment of Metrotown, a Metro Vancouver regional town centre located in Burnaby. I created the following cross-sections of prototypical urban morphologies in the neighbourhood as part of the project in Adobe Illustrator.

Redesign of Strawberry Hill Shopping Centre in Surrey, BC

In this collaborative project, we were tasked with re-envisioning a part of the Strawberry Hill neighbourhood in Surrey and chose to focus on the site of the Strawberry Hill Shopping Centre. As part of my work on this project, I created the following site plan showcasing our proposed design interventions and conceptual future neighbourhood layout.
