Hi, my name is Logan. I design landscapes and use

technology to illustrate my ideas. The outdoors has
always felt like home to me. A place where I can
observe and reflect . I am a member of the Oakvale
Community Garden in the east end. I enjoy a good
cup of coffee and bike rides on the city streets of
my new home Toronto. You can also find me in the
Canadian Rockies splitboarding up and down steep
terrain or hiking along an exposed ridge taking
photographs along the way.

Jasper Avenue Streetscape
The Jasper Avenue Streetscape Design was a right of way and land use improvement
project . The project aims to increase safety and circulation of pedestrian and vehicular
traffic as well as incorporating mixed-use buildings. Roadway improvements such as
angle parking on side streets, additional bus/bike/taxi lanes, left hand turn signals, and
marked crosswalks with contrasting paving stones provides traffic safety for vehicles
and pedestrians. A bioswale median acts as a natural water filtration system to reduce
pollutants and debris from entering the city water lines and water treatment facilities.
Planting of median and boulevard trees softens the adjacent buildings and creates a more
welcoming environment for users. Redesigned bus shelters, benches, waste receptacles,
and bike racks uplift the pedestrian pathways through the use of modern materials. The
addition of mixed-use buildings provides “extensions” of the street where people can
socialize and enjoy the buzz of the city. In the deeper extensions three plazas were
designed.

JASPER PLAZA
The aim of Jasper Plaza was to create a
place with an identity that will enhance the
streetscape. Jasper Plaza is a focal point
of the street where people of the city can
come to enjoy coffee, food, and shopping
close to home. The design includes
raised planters with built in benches for
pedestrians waiting for friends or family.
A water feature acts as the focal point
of the plaza. It provides a cooling effect
and pleasing sounds of splashing water.
Wayfinding signage is included to provide
users a sense of orientation and direction
as well as provide city identity. Lamp posts
are placed throughout the plaza to ensure
safety of pedestrians during the night and
early morning. Jasper Plaza is a place that
encourages socialization for city dwellers
and provides daily amenities.

During the Jasper Avenue Streetscape Design project, I learned how to create a design
from scratch. AutoCAD was used to create the base linework for the master plan which
was then exported into SketchUp to build a 3D model. iRender software was then used
to create perspective shots. The renderings were then taken into Photoshop to add
entourage, shadows and image adjustments. Attention to detail from start to finish
proved for exceptional results.

 Avenue Road Condo
The Avenue Road Condominium project is a mixed use condo development in Toronto, ON.
The site neighbours Brookdale Park, an existing ravine and public playground. I was tasked
with creating a landscape concept and to develop ZBA and SPA documents for submission.
During this prosses key elements of focus were creating an accesible pathway to connect
avenue road to Brookdale Park, working with Environmental and Arborist Consultants to
develop a strategic planting plan and ravine buffer zone, create a P.O.P.S. that is green and
architecturally interesting. The site faces challenges with existing gading and requires a
retaining wall to achieve the pedestrian connection to the park. In addition to the ground
floor a luxury roof top amenity was designed for owners and renters of the condo.

Guelph Innovation District
Our vision for the Guelph Innovation District was to create a highly sustainable, mixed
use, pedestrian oriented development that effectively connects residents to their city.
We strove to achieve a efficient design that supports a live/work/play lifestyle and
compliments the city of Guelph. This was accomplished through providing  a diverse range
of employment, residential, and recreational places such as the Outdoor Shopping mall,
high street plaza, community garden and the linear park . We also improved low density
housing by utilizing the storm ponds to their best potential. Additionally, High st . provided
a pedestrian focused environment that allows alternative street crossings and separated
bike lanes for a safer experience. Overall, the design proved to be successful through the
acknowledgment of common obstacles found in surrounding developments and providing
solutions to give an enhanced experience for residents.

Conservation Subdivision
The Conservation Subdivision project aims were to preserve existing vegetation
and achieve a minimum of 30 residential dwellings. Through the use of col de sacs
and varying lot shapes the design achieved 34 units and preserved 95% of the
existing vegetation. The design also incorporates entry feature signage, storm water
management, open space, and a multi use trail. Pro forma calculations were made to
determine land use percentages, net residential density, estimated population, and
estimated jobs. I learned how to think creatively to achieve the client’s requests.

Storm Water Pond
Grading Plan
The Storm Water Pond project
was a thorough investigation
into the grading of a site. City of
Edmonton slope minimum and
maximum requirements were
followed to allow for proper
growth of grass and ease of
use for site patrons. A 100
year flood event was calculated
to ensure water levels do
not reach beyond the storm
water pond boundary and into
residential lots. Pathways along
the site are smooth and allow
for connections to existing
subdivision walks. Boat ramps
provide access for maintenance
and emergency flooding. The
project improved my overall
understanding of grading and
drafting techniques.

The NAIT Entry Feature was a design

and construction drawing focused
project . Investigation of existing NAIT
signage, themes, and materials helped
to create a design that reflects NAIT ’s
overall appearance. The main materials
used are concrete, brick, and steel. An
arching steel panel has laser cut lines
inspired by interior wall panels in the
CAT building. A large electronic screen
is incorporated to display NAIT ’s
advertisements and events. Grey brick
facade covers the concrete base. The
logo and steel letters are attached by
threaded rods to the concrete wall.
Concrete grade beams and concrete
piles are designed to ensure impact
resistance and a strong structural
NAIT
foundation.

backyard consists of
all dog safe plants
as well as clover
seed mix for the
lawn area which is
tough, hardy, and
will not be damaged
by dog urine. Other
design requirements
included a patio,
pergola, pizza oven
and counter, raised
vegetable planters,
and a small fruit
area. During this
project I had multiple
meetings with the
clients to discuss
what there needs and
wants were for there
outdoor living space.
Communication
led to a successful
design that met
there requirements
while creating an
aesthetically pleasing
and functional
design.

Model & Renderings

A 3D model was created using SketchUp and
rendered using Enscape.  During a meeting we
“walked” through the rendered model to give
them a virtual tour of the proposed design. This
helped the clients get a realistic idea of what
their property will look like.

GREEN ROOF
The Green Roof project was a construction
and detail driven project . The construction
drawing package included, layout and
surface treatment plans, a planting plan,
cross section, overhead structure, concrete
wall, and furniture details. This project
also included a schedule of units and
specifications document . During this project
I learned about the construction materials
and growing mediums required for green
roofs.

Details
Clear details were crucial to understand
the construction process of the green
roof. Green roofs differ greatly from
ground level landscapes because there
is no subgrade base and there is a load
bearing capacity. Due to these limitations,
pedestals and specific light weight
growing mediums must be used. This is
an intensive green roof as the growing EXISTING FLOOR
HEIGHT
medium depth can accommodate trees,

shrubs, and perennials. During this project
I used existing green roof details from
manufacturers of green roof products and
altered them to suite my specific design
which included architectural pavers, wood 1 POST TO CONCRETE FOOTING
pavers, and varying heights of concrete L4 1:20

walls.

Art Installation
The aim of this project was to advocate for landscape architecture and its effect on mental
health. Research shows that hospital patients who were closer to windows had a quicker
recovery than those who were not . With that in mind we wondered what was outside of
those windows. We created the concept to look through a window and see ‘outside’. Four
windows each displayed an existing location in Edmonton, where a portion of the photo
was then uplifted through the use of Photoshop. By displaying landscape architecture
graphics in an interesting and unique way we were able to engage the public and provoke
thought about our city and the importance of landscape architecture on our mental health.
The opening event was a success and the installation was open to the public for 7 days.

My role in the project was project manager. My tasks included finding a location for the
event and developing conceptual ideas to represent the connection between the research
and the art installation. Additional tasks included designing and building the art installation,
communicating with partners at Enbridge, and time management . During this project I
learned the importance of working as a team and what it takes to create an art installation
for the public.
