Huron Cubbies — DBS Design and Fabrication

http://www.dbsfab.com/huron-cubbies

Skip to Main Content. Design iterations and testing. The final design emerged after a period of testing and prototyping, both at a model scale and at full scale. Each piece is numbered in the digital model and as physical output. As each piece is unique, this is essential for assembly. The numbering system can be used by kids, staff and parents to identify items in the lost and found by cubby. Location: Huron Street Public School, Toronto ON. 2016 DENEGRI BESSAI STUDIO.

http://www.dbsfab.com/canada-day-picnic-table

Skip to Main Content. Canada Day Picnic Table. Maple-Synthesis, is a table whose design is loosely based on the pattern of a maple leaf, seen from above. Part-to-whole relationship between individual cells and overall shape. Members of the public were invited to fill the pattern of over 300 cells (one cell each) with an aggregate of finely crushed rock, in red and white and other colours, creating patterns that express their individual perspective. Location: Jacques Cartier Park, Ottawa ON.

Awn Queensway — DBS Design and Fabrication

http://www.dbsfab.com/awn-queensway

Skip to Main Content. This light fixture is a feature ceiling element in a large retail space on The Queensway in Toronto. Based on subdivision patterns developed in the Delaware Lightbox, structural and assembly characteristics were considered through folding planar elements to make the fixture more ridged. Further physical models were created at larger scales to verify geometry, material attributes and ambient effects. Steel frame after installation. Location: The Queensway, Tornto, ON.

Light Weave — DBS Design and Fabrication

http://www.dbsfab.com/light-weave

Skip to Main Content. Samples of woven fabric. To enhance the space of a basement bar, we designed and fabricated an acrylic screen to illuminate the adjacent countertop. We assembled the screen in layers of black and translucent acrylic in a way that resembles a pattern of woven fabric. The thatched appearance of the screen complements the overall aesthetic of the house, and gives the effect of weaving together two very un-weavable layers of material. Installation of LED strip. Location: Oakville, ON.

Cottingham Screen — DBS Design and Fabrication

http://www.dbsfab.com/cottingham-screen

Skip to Main Content. Based on traditional Islamic patterning, this wall-screen occupies the landing between DB Studio’s renovation of the 3rd floor and the remainder of the house. The screen pattern is mathematically derived from circles that radiate from the vertices points of a hexagonal grid. Colour and lighting studies. After settling on a final design, we CNC-cut a 1:1 mock-up to experiment with custom detailing and possible lighting scenarios. Screen installed on stair landing.

Delaware Lightbox — DBS Design and Fabrication

http://www.dbsfab.com/delaware-lightbox

Skip to Main Content. Light and colour studies. The design and research focus for this project was upon pure effect – the delivery of complex patterned shadow and light characteristics to the space. A range of subdivision strategies were created and tested through combined computational models and physical scale models, and the most dynamic pattern was carried forward. Experiments with LED lighting. The lightbox assembly and installation. Location: Delaware Avenue, Toronto, ON. 2016 DENEGRI BESSAI STUDIO.

Parachute Pavillion — DBS Design and Fabrication

http://www.dbsfab.com/parachute-pavilion

Skip to Main Content. One of the greatest icons in all of Gilbert Erector history is the Parachute Jump model. This large and imposing, yet wonderfully elegant design made its first appearance in Erector manuals in 1940.
