An aspiring urban planner with a deep interest in evolving spaces beyond the built and unbuilt with a passion for environmental planning in architecture and working across different scales of design. I am intrigued about the design at the intersection of social and ecological realms, resilience, climate adaptation, sustainability, identity, and place-making, with a strong focus on creating liveable and humane environments aiming towards community inclusion.

Agrarian Hill is a small component-node of a larger development called The Cider Creek Development. It was conceptualized as an attempt to seamlessly integrate food production with the surrounding high density residential environment.

Embedding multifunctional land uses into a high-density urban realm facilitates economic and social vibrancy at Agrarian Hill.

The core vision of this project was to merge nature with agricultural programming to achieve an active social realm – where people truly interact with their natural surroundings.

The programs we envisioned for this node include an edible yard adjoining the community centre - green roofs and vertical gardens to promote agricultural urbanism rooted within the built fabric and functions such as walking trail and a market district.
