I'm an architecture student at Dalhousie, based in St. John's, Newfoundland — drawn to the abstract, artistic side of building.
I treat each project as a piece of art first: a single strong idea, a form, a play of light — then the discipline to make it stand up and work.
I care most about the quiet things: how daylight crosses a wall through the day, how concrete and timber age, how a space makes you feel before you can explain why.
Good architecture isn't loud. It's the building you keep coming back to.
