Marpole Garden

This residential landscape design-build project was completed in 2022 for a family with a young child. The design is centred around a large deck extending from the main floor living room in the interior of the house. Generous steps lead to a lower outdoor dining space, then into and a more private garden terrace to the East and a lawn play area to the North. A garden water feature built from a reclaimed concrete planter adds texture and sound to the space, and offers a focus point when viewed from the kitchen window.
