Kinetic Innovation Lab

The concept behind some of this design’s features is the circuit board. A circuit board contains pathways that help conduct electricity between electronic components, which is not unlike the job of Kinetic, the Algonquin College accelerator. Kinetic brings together both individuals and developing companies and it facilitates the flow of innovative ideas and connections.

Metamorphosis: Refugee House

The goal was to create a temporary home for refugees as they settle down in Canada. Although this space in intended to turn over frequently, as refugees finalize their paperwork, it was also important for refugees to feel comfortable during their stay. This was achieved by creating a sense of community within the home, following ADA recommendations so anyone could live there, and making environmental design decisions. Being new to a country can be very emotional and stressful, some people deal with these emotions differently, and Metamorphosis House strives to accommodate these differences.
