Sea-Can

First Place Winner of Sea Container Design Competition

In collaboration with Michelle McKenna, Rachel Hart, Peter Akiki and Paul Daniel

Sea Container Design built in Iqaluit, Nunavut in the summer of 2016.

The Sea Container Design Competition was a 2-day event, providing an opportunity for architecture and engineering students in the Ottawa area to come together to design an innovative complex made from retrofitted sea containers.

The design for the Enactus Sea Cans Competition was one meant to foster growth, community engagement, and self-sufficiency in the extreme environments of Canada's north. A design which was efficient and aesthetically enriching was to be combined with a diverse program which at its core would provide residential, entrepreneurial, and agricultural opportunities for local residents. The proposed design encourages modularity and growth, providing endless configurations and programmatic solutions for the developing population of Iqaluit.
