Landscape Statement

This site's location between the Old Island Highway and a natural ravine provides the opportunity to draw influences from the natural setting while building a strong streetscape and using formal planting elements to relate to the neighbourhood. While integrating this project into its context, we are looking at ways this project can incorporate green initiatives into its design such as stormwater detention.

Through the use of formal elements, the visitor is welcomed by an entry feature with a stepping water feature, accent planting and feature stone wall. The stone wall pick up on the use of stone walls in the View Royal community but the character of the stone will fit in with the building.
