Ben Hayward
Research Associate 2017-21: Digital Design & Fabrication
Ben Hayward graduated in 2021 with his Master of Architecture. He was the recipient of a 2017 Carleton University Research Opportunity grant initiated by Professors Boyle and Voordouw which he used to fund full-scale construction of his Solar Thermal Tiny House in 2017. The project aired on HGTV's series Tiny House Big Living as the show Futuristic Funky Tiny (Season 8, Episode 14) documenting Ben's innovative design and fabrication project from start to finish. The project is the second tiny house for Ben building on his first private work called the Hobbit House which had over a million hits on social media. Ben's work explores healthy materials, digital design & fabrication and curvilinear wood forms. Follow Ben on Twitter at @bengrh and on Instagram at haywardben.
