Nephrology at Riverside Campus
The Ottawa Hospital’s Nephrology program is one of the largest in Canada and offers a broad range of services to those affected by kidney diseases. These include various types of kidney dialysis, a kidney transplantation program and a number of highly specialized clinics offered at the Jindal Kidney Care Centre. This was one of the first large scale projects to use Lightscape radiosity (global illumination) and IES lighting to simulate real-world physical illumination. Actual lighting fixture information was applied to precisely simulate the lighting energy produced in the Nephrology unit.

West Parry Sound Health Care Centre
The Health Centre offers a wide range of essential services including Acute Care, Chronic Care, Emergency and Ambulance Services, Health Education, Wellness programs and Community Outreach. The West Parry Sound Health Care Centre extensively utilized 3d technologies from concept to final design and marketing materials. Landscape engineers provided detailed 3d elevation coordinates which were integrated into the complex site plan’s approach road and parking lots. A vast array of interior, exterior, cross sections, sunlight studies and even animations were produced to client's contentment. The physical (now built) building looks exactly like the 3d renderings.

Critical Care Unit Atrium
A sunlight study was developed for the atrium of the Critical Care Addition of the Ottawa Hospital General Campus. The two and a half storey atrium links the Intensive Care Unit block to the Operating Rooms / PACU block, bringing natural light into patient rooms and offering a warm, inviting public gathering space. The atrium space also serves as the second main entrance to the Hospital to serve the north end of the campus and an 800 space parking garage being developed in parallel with the CCA.

Women’s Integrated Health Centre
The Riverside Campus of the Ottawa Hospital has been converted from a bedded hospital into one of Canada’s largest ambulatory care centres. Located within this facility is The Shirley E. Greenburg Centre for Women’s Integrated Health. This centre provides advice on women’s oncology, non-cancerous gynecology, family planning and sexuality. The intent of the design was to form an experience that redefined the typical hospital visit. By creating a comfortable and homelike environment utilizing gentle colour combinations and rich materials, like granite and wood, both patients and their families are set at ease.
3d rendering was deployed for mainly the waiting room area for strictly presentation purposes not conceptual design. Lightscape was used to simulate physically accurate lighting conditions in a space where there were no exterior windows. The resulting rendering

Family Medical Health Centre, Picton
3d renderings were created for Sandbank Homes’ proposal to redevelop a waterfront motel / restaurant to a family medical health centre. 3d interior, exterior and aerial floor plans which demonstrated the conversion were produced for marketing and city approvals. New Vray settings customized specifically for interior and exterior views reduced rendering times by four times.

Neuro Observation Assessment
Similar to Coronary Care Unit, 3d aerial floor plans were used for the Neuro Observation Assessment wing of the Ottawa Hospital Civic Campus. Multiple renderings were printed and mounted on large format presentation boards to explain planning schemas as it related to the functional program.
