Hey! My name is Tristan. My interests within the design field range from residential design to landscape design to urban planning. I am very happy that OCADU has given me the skills and confidence to pursue a career in this field. In my designs, I focus on how the built environment interacts with nature. I am very inspired by Scandinavian design and love to use wood in a project. I focus on how a built space can calm its visitors while also prioritizing a connection to nature. I have recently moved to North Vancouver, BC and spend my free time climbing, hiking and skiing in the mountains.My thesis is a mountain safety and ecology centre in Canmore, Alberta. This project focuses on creating a safe space to learn more about mountainous activities and the surrounding ecosystems. The planning and landscape create a smooth transition from the adjacent wildlife corridor and promote biodiverse interactions.
