Tower House

An urban Toronto home with careful slots and skylights to bring the sun into the narrow lot. A lofty tatami mat tower is a retreat for quiet contemplation, views through the treetops, yoga. Detailed drawings, structural coordination, contract administration. With AGATHOM Co., photos 1–4 by Scott Norsworthy.

Ramen Book Cover Illustration

For sankaku Volume 02: Ramen , I drew up this ramen noodle block to be gold foil-stamped onto the cover of the paperback edition — the partner to the hardcover collector's edition with a real block of ramen embedded in the cover.

Offcut Step Stool

An improvised little step stool made entirely from offcuts I picked out of the garbage bin — sugar maple bark edge trimmings and a narrow strip of walnut.

Cut the walnut in half and glue it up to make a wider board.
Shape the maple trimmings into legs with a spokeshave.
Cut the tops of the legs into tapered round tenons so that continued use tightens the joints over time.
Keep it simple: a single nail pins each leg in place.

COGS Adaptive Reuse

This urban mixed-use project adapts an existing brick storefront to accommodate a growing family. The proposal reconfigures the commercial space to make better use of the ground floor while preserving the character of the brick building. New living spaces both indoors and outside are shielded from the busy street by expanded metal screening. With AGATHOM Co., renderings by Michael Yoshimura.
