Senior’s Residential Housing Project

Design Narrative

This residential housing project was designed with the notion of accommodating the population increase of senior citizens. This concept project would hypothetically be located on the Northwest corner of Warden Ave and St Clair Ave intersection. Suites are designed with a barrier free concept. Countertop heights are lowered and circulation spaces are made to allow easy access for residents in wheelchairs. Communal spaces are integrated into the design to promote sociability among the senior residents. Along with the barrier free designs, this residential housing project also incorporates various sustainable strategies which include the following: - Photovoltaic Panels - Adjustable Watt Meter (Per Suite) - Water Harvesting - Permeable Pavement - Geothermal Heating - Motion Sensor Lights (Per Suite) - Low VOC Paints, Coatings, and Carpets in the Interior - Low Emitting Double Glazed Windows.

This proposed project would be located on a

vacant lot on the southeast corner of the Finch Ave

and Altona Rd intersection. The intent for this

project was to become familiar with basic zoning

and to become familiar with design and

construction of non-residential structures. The strip

mall project will consist of retail units as well as

office spaces and a restaurant. The office spaces

will be located on the second level of Building 1 and

the restaurant will be located in Building 2. The

strip mall will replace the plain vacant lot with two

presentable buildings and provide a functional

space that contributes to the Pickering community.

Car Dealership

Ground Level with Annotations *Image Not to scale

This project was one in a number of

projects that was intended to develop

basic skills in using the AutoCAD program.

This project contributed to familiarizing

basic commands and functional space

placement. Not only do these AutoCAD

projects familiarize basic commands and

functional space placement, they

implement use of various building

materials and wide range of construction

methods. The Car Dealership project along

with other CAD projects have allowed me

to become proficient in drawings including

floor plans, elevations, sections, wall

sections, and details.
