SALT OF THE EARTH - SHELTER FOR LIFE

Salt is an essential element to life and   nature.   
Shelter protects us from unsavory environments .
​The building process is like a recipe:
It demonstrates how art, building science, and people can all come together to create liveable spaces.

Who?

For  over 25 years  Fiona  has been in the architectural industry - first obtaining a diploma in architectural technologies, and currently is completing  her masters in architecture.   She has worked full-time during her studies and she has gained experience on complex high-profile projects such as University of Alberta UCommons  Interior Fit-out, Brookfield Place Tower, South Health Campus Hospital,  and the Edmonton Federal Building renovations.

She has been a Project Manager, Creator, and Collaboration Specialist for over 20 years and  has had the privilege  of seeing almost all of her projects built.    She has also worked alongside  local and international designers, contractors, and engineers.
​
Renovating and restoring personal projects has also been a past-time, as well as dabbling in art.   Her approach to art is like the approach  she uses in project planning and execution - she starts with an idea that is sketched, massaged, outlined in ink, then coloured.    This process includes  discussions, comments, and collaboration with those around her.   Her art uses simple materials  that can be  locally sourced.  It is about the  design and good execution.


Why?
​
Fiona  is  enthusiastic about blending good  simple design with cost efficient building materials.  Understanding how individuals would like to live in their environment day-to-day   is an important philosophy of SaltandShelter.     Our homes and community can be our sanctuary and affordability is  always a concern to a client and one of  the driving elements of   strategizing a project from start to finish.    Fiona believes that  Canadians are ready for  innovative and cost effective ways of living, which is what SaltandShelter can help with.
