The most successful & rewarding projects that I have worked on have resulted from close collaboration with consultants, contractors, clients and makers. Good relationships & understanding with structural & mechanical engineers, suppliers and trades ensure the harmonious integration of each component within the final project. This is the foundation I build upon to ensure the vision & quality of finish are executed effectively whilst responding to on-site conditions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625c47e799b9d3234da29cce/4dd0a447-2dd9-4cc7-9c3e-3c9ed0327dff/Rockeries+Study_lot+studies+page.jpg Process - Site & Context. I believe in creating buildings that respond uniquely to their surroundings, whether in a rural or urban setting. This can mean using the building orientation to maximise views & sunlight exposure. Contextual responses may include taking cues from the form or style of adjoining buildings and reinterpreting this into something new. Understanding the broader context of the neighbourhood, the city, its history & aspirations leads to meaningful & informative responses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625c47e799b9d3234da29cce/18f7f35b-ae88-495f-826c-4dcc6b37b58c/Champlain+CC_Urban+and+Nature.jpg Process - Innovation & Creating Opportunities. Alongside seeking innovation & project-specific approaches, I always strive to improve how I work. For example, I have reworked drawing systems whilst working Freelance and at McLean Quinlan & Studio Mackereth. I developed many 3D modelling & 2D presentation methods and used real-time rendering as communication tools to document design & technical work. I also enjoy using physical models and hand drawings of all kinds to explore ideas & convey information to consultants, contractors, planners & clients. I have established a successful record in obtaining new projects and turning studies, competitions & proposals into complete projects. For example, at Linebox Studio, we were awarded big projects at The Rockeries & the mixed-use adaptive reuse at 473 Albert St (Ottawa) from proposals I led. In addition, a number of my study packages were vital in reaching new developer clients & being given opportunities to undertake further work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625c47e799b9d3234da29cce/3250f7e5-c2d8-459e-8ab8-55f76020c1cb/JM-A+Attention+to+Detail+comp_a.jpg Process - Make it stand out Clockwise from top left: Dinas Hatch & McLean Quinlan | Dalhousie St. & Freelance | 30 Mount Row @ Studio Mackereth | Belgrave Mews @ McLean Quinlan | 33 Tite St. @ Studio Mackereth | Tregeare @ McLean Quinlan | No.1 The Old Hall @ Studio Mackereth | 473 Albert St. @ Linebox Studio | L7,8,9 Shopify @ Linebox Studio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625c47e799b9d3234da29cce/14fc0b2e-8ec9-4a52-b946-4c7c45754f39/The+Well_Neighbourhoods.jpg Process - It takes a Team. As Project Lead, I start by creating a vision for the project, both for the design approach & its execution. I provide clarity through adaptable work plans, schedules & guidance that serve the team & the client. In my experience, projects always benefit from collaboration & discussions with peers. I seek to adapt this collaboration to suit the needs of each project, setting the targets & expectations at each stage. In this way, the team works as a cohesive whole, and each individual can contribute to their full potential. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625c47e799b9d3234da29cce/a64dce6d-1e84-44dd-83fd-b8c2e3aa4a9f/Tregeare_Construction+Details+page.jpg Process - Attention to Detail. A distinct advantage of my education & work experience has been a commitment to the Architect's intrinsic involvement at all stages of the project, from design through technical work & construction. I can therefore maintain a level of consistency over all aspects of the design, considering the concept at the largest scale through to the smallest interfaces & details. As I manage the project on-site, I can make any changes while considering their impact on the whole vision (& budget). This results in a high level of finish and buildings that feel lasting & cohesive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625c47e799b9d3234da29cce/b5270663-f39d-4916-9aa1-3c18a921fb0c/JM-A+Sketch+compilation.jpg Process - Make it stand out Sketches: Various Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625c47e799b9d3234da29cce/cde4c283-2d07-43de-ba49-d6254a5e6984/Symmes19+CC_Render+Compilation_Letterbox.jpg Process - Make it stand out Symmes19 Community Centre. | Solo Project.

Establishing the constraints & unveiling the opportunities is where I discover the exciting possibilities for each project. Understanding the restrictions allows me to test ideas, find opportunities and develop unique approaches to unlock the project's potential. Considering as many of these factors as possible from the outset in a more holistic design process will always be more successful & more efficient than attempting to graft them on after the fact. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625c47e799b9d3234da29cce/e304e6bc-b3bd-4251-abd3-a2ddcda61f86/Dalhousie+Bathroom+Remodel_Portfolio+plans+page.jpg Process - It’s about people. Engaging in a built project is a significant, long & often emotional undertaking for any client. I, therefore, place great importance on being able to support clients throughout the process, adapting to new information, whilst ensuring that a cohesive design vision is executed through construction & into occupying the finished building. I seek to not merely translate a client's requirements but to challenge them, innovate & discover the unique potential in each project. I build on a foundation of knowledge & discovery in the building/site and constraints & coordination with consultants & contractors to deliver a thorough, professional & well-executed project. I believe this attention to not only rigorous architecture but communication & managing client expectations is reflected in the repeat work & new opportunities I have generated with both individual & developer clients. https://www.jm-astudio.ca/home daily 1.0 2022-07-21
