Gravity Welcomes New Marketing Coordinator Charlotte

Gravity is excited to announce Charlotte Aksenchuk has joined Gravity as our Marketing Coordinator.

Before she joined the team, she held marketing positions in various sectors. She chose a Bachelor of Arts in Communications and Media Studies from the University of Calgary. Throughout her final year and a half of her degree, Charlotte interned at Harvest Builders, a Calgary-based startup tech incubator. She learned and honed her marketing skills under a very experienced team. Since then, she has worked in environmental monitoring, tech, and the architecture industries. The skills she developed in these positions translated well into becoming the Marketing Coordinator for Gravity.

Charlotte moved to Vancouver in the middle of 2021 but continues to enjoy returning to Calgary to visit. She proudly remains a Calgary Flames fan and enjoys watching hockey games with her husband. On rainy days (which are very common now that she lives in Vancouver), she enjoys making breads, desserts, and elaborate meals. On not-so-rainy days, Charlotte can be found outside enjoying the fantastic views of mountains and oceans, or playing a round of golf with her husband!

David Charlton Joins Gravity as an Architectural Technologist

We are excited to announce David Charlton as one of Gravity’s new Architectural Technologists!

David joined Gravity in the middle of 2022 as an Architectural Technologist. Originally from the Lower Mainland area of BC, David moved to Calgary in 2007 and received his BA in Political Science from the University of Calgary in 2014. He then worked in the insurance industry for a year and discovered it wasn’t for him. This decision led him to pursue a career in architecture by getting an Architectural Technologist diploma from the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) in 2018. 

David has always been fascinated by architecture and the process of how buildings are constructed. Combined with the idea of having a career that takes designs and makes them into real-world construction, the architecture industry appealed greatly to him.

Prior to joining Gravity, David was at Systemic Architecture Inc, where he worked on various commercial, mixed-use, and multi-family projects. Some of his previous work includes Basecamp Resorts, a resort chain that operates in various mountain towns of Alberta and B.C, and The Shops at Buffalo Run, a multi-building commercial development, in Tsuut'ina Nation, just outside of Calgary. His favourite style of architecture is West Coast Modernism and his favourite architect is Arthur Erikson.

When David is not at work, you can find him participating in a variety of sports, including hockey, hiking, snowboarding, and skateboarding. David also frequently takes his dog, Indiana, on hikes and walks, where he does photography for fun, mostly taking photos of architecture and nature.

We are excited to have David on our team!

Gravity's New Office Manager

We are pleased to announce Kayla Anez has joined Gravity as our Office Manager.

Kayla joined us in May 2022 and has over seven years of experience in the administrative field. Prior to joining Gravity, she had been an administrative assistant at three other architecture firms. Her experience in our field translates well into her current role as our new Office Manager. 

Kayla’s passion has always been to become an Office Manager. Her ability to wear many hats shows when she is able to take on a variety of tasks. She thrives in fast-paced, deadline-driven environments and prides herself on being able to handle everything and anything that comes across her desk. Kayla’s always eager to learn and provide assistance wherever she's needed. She firmly believes that TEAM stands for Together Everyone Achieves More, and she brings that philosophy to the office daily. 

You can find Kayla at the gym, hanging out with her husband, family and her two cats outside of work. She’s lived in Calgary since 2006, however, she is originally from Montreal so naturally, her favourite hockey team is the Montreal Canadiens. Kayla and her husband enjoy hiking together, and the mountains are still a novelty for her, even after 16 years. Moraine Lake holds a special place in her heart, as that is where her now husband proposed to her. 

We are excited to have Kayla on our team!

Richard Anderson Joins Gravity as a Project Architect

Gravity Architecture announces Richard Anderson has joined the team as a Project Architect.

Richard joined the Gravity team in early 2022 as a Project Architect and brought over 12 years of Southern Alberta-focused architecture experience with him. Hailing from Lethbridge, which he affectionately calls “Leth Vegas”, Richard completed his Bachelor's in Environmental Design at  the University of Manitoba in 2006. After a short break,  Richard moved to Ottawa to complete his education at Carleton University, graduating with his Masters's in Architecture with Distinction in 2011. While completing his Masters's degree, Richard spent an action-packed semester in Berlin at the TU Berlin Institut For Architektur on a directed studies abroad program.

Prior to joining Gravity, Richard was an Architect at NORR Architects Engineers Planners in Calgary from 2018 to 2022. While there, he was a team member in the public studio and worked on various multi-family residential projects including the senior's facility, Amica Oak Bay, in Victoria, BC, and Elder’s Lodge affordable housing for the Aboriginal Friendship Centre of Calgary. 

Richard’s favourite style of architecture is dense minimalism, a style practiced by British  architect David Chipperfield. He incorporates elements of dense minimalism into projects when he can, including on the Joane Cardinal-Schubert High School in Calgary, completed during his time with Gibbs Gage Architects

In the winter you can find Richard curling twice a week in one of the two recreational leagues he’s joined. He describes himself, tongue-in-cheek, as a well-dressed nerd and reformed hipster. In addition to being a passionate architect, Richard follows automotive design closely, with his favourite car companies being VW, Audi, and Porsche.

We are pleased to have Richard on our team.
