The Tri Leisure Village development was an amazing designopportunity given to me by my former employer: PlanWorksArchitecture Inc. I worked under the guidance of the firm’s Principal Architect, Ben Gardner, to produce the design for an attractive, multi-unit, pedestrian friendly retail development. I have included this piece in my portfolio withthe approval and encouragement of Ben Gardner, Architect the approval and encouragement of Ben Gardner, Architect AIBC, AAA, SAA, MRAIC, BSc, BArch.

The Tri Leisure Village made it through all of the permit/tender process and is currentlyin its construction phase. Undoubtedly, this design has been the most enjoyable so far in myjourney in architecture. I am very proud to see my design being built and even more to hear comments like these: “My hope is that we can use this development as an example for futurecommercial developments and how we can work around the pedestrian activity … I very much appreciate the vision.” Ald.

DESIGN PROCESS

The client desired a “modern look”to his development and so I drewinspiration from modern forms similar to those used in Haus SK designed by the Austrian Architecture Studio- TWO IN A BOX - ARCHITEKTEN ZT GMBH.- ARCHITEKTEN ZT GMBH.

All of the schematic design through to the final designapproval was done in Google Sketchup so I have includedthe final images of the three main buildings in the village’sdesign.
