Camp Winston Sensory Yurt Furnishings | Final Imagery

Over the weekend, we successfully completed the installation of our custom sensory yurt furnishings at Camp Winston. It’s been a rewarding hands-on learning experience for the team and an even better bonding experience along the way. We can’t wait to see how the children engage with and enjoy the space this summer.

With the design finalized, the team has officially begun fabrication. One of the biggest challenges has been determining in the right amount of kerfing to balance structural stability with the desired curve radius and material thickness. After thorough testing, we’ve determined the proper CNC intervals and cut depths to achieve a smooth curve while keeping the piece strong. To ensure smooth, timely installation up north, we completed as much fabrication in-house as possible before heading to site.

We sprayed the kerfed pieces with water and used an iron to increase the flexibility of the wood while minimizing breakage.

We successfully completed Parking Day, and it was rewarding to see people interacting with the installation during the weekend activation. Developing the design as a team was a fun process, and the entire project became a valuable hands-on learning experience as the design came to life.

Blob Chair - Collaborative Exercise Final Documentation

The students have accomplished the creation of the "Blob Chair" as part of the Collaborative Exercise. The chair fulfills the need for a new lounge area by introducing a space near the entrance atrium. Its unique design and functionality contribute to an inviting and stylish atmosphere.

 Once the files of the design were finalized, the pieces of wood were cut using the CNC machine. After the pieces were routed, sanded, and stained, the fabrication team started the assembly process of the collaborative exercise chair.

Vertebrae - Final Documentaion

 After 2 months of fabrication, the team accomplished a remarkable feat by successfully upcycling discarded shirts and create upholstery to create a comfortable and unique chair. The chair garnered recognition and was prominently showcased at the Toronto Metropolitan University's Department of Architectural Science Year End Show, highlighting the team's innovation and craftsmanship.
