Some works in progress.
2014 - 3D massing study for first phase of HS Banff and HS Alberta High Speed Rail Station near Calgary International Airport. There`s a bit of a mixed program to work out, as the station has to incorporate both light rail transit and high speed rail components, and support and administrative facilities for each respective rail system. 3D Studio Max
There is a plan for a low rise tram rail shuttle to the airport with a connection to the LRT system, possible expansion of the LRT to 4 tracks, and 2 high speed rail tracks with an expansion to 4 tracks. This is a first iteration of design with main floor ticketing, second floor waiting and administration facilities, and bridge crossings to vertical circulation at the train platforms. The client likes it, it has a sense of the lyrical elements I am looking for, and it satisfies a portion of the program requirements, but frankly, it isn`t setting enough of a sense of place and arrival for me. 3D Studio Max
2014 - 3D development model for 4 bedroom house in SW Calgary. The client started out with a desire for a traditional design, but was surprisingly amenable to explorations of contemporary form once we began a dialogue about light, transparency, and view. The house sits on a rise and from the second story has an unobstructed view of the mountains to the west, and downtown Calgary to the east. 3D Studio Max with Mental Ray Renderer.
There are several peculiarities in what is otherwise a fairly normal residential program of spaces - the main floor office has it's own entry door off the breezeway and a stair connection to the master bedroom suite, and 2 of the children's bedrooms have 4.2 metre ceilings to allow a split level sleeping space with open play/work areas underneath. 3D Studio Max with Mental Ray Renderer.
