Site

The site is located in Vancouver’s Southlands, a neighbourhood characterised by large single-family residences and horse farms. The redevelopment of the site involves a complete overhaul, including the construction of a new residence, new stables and a riding ring.

Problem Statement

To create a landscape that maintains the functional characteristics of a horse farm, fits the rural character of the neighbourhood, and complements the contemporary form of the new residence.

Design Solution

The design for the property is the result of a close collaboration between the architects, the clients and ourselves. The landscape design includes a horse riding ring, an auto/entry court with a water feature, and a private backyard with a pool and patio space extending from the residence.
