Private PlacesWest Vancouver, BCClient: Private
Completed 2003
Site:
A new dwelling constructed on a small lot in West Vancouver.
Problem Statement:
To
provide a landscape serving as a play space for the children, outdoor
entertaining and garden plots using sustainable design principles
within a 135’by 60’ lot.
Design Solution:
The
design creates change in grade to establish a dry creek bed. The creek
bed was used to divide the space in the rear yard and is a play
feature. This creates zones for entertaining, play and gardening in the
rear yard. The plant materials are predominately native species
requiring little maintenance and the wood is untreated eliminating the
use of harmful toxins.
