EASTLAKE COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL ZONE

Burnaby, BC

with Jonathan Losee Ltd.

CLIENT: ADERA GROUP OF COMPANIES

We married technical needs with natural design to transform this simple slope stabilization in an industrial zone into an opportunity for ecological restoration. Using vegetated bags to support a steep hill, we replaced invasive species with a native forest garden inspired by a local biologist’s riparian planting plan, all on a limited budget. A water feature mimics the building’s facade to playfully integrate the built form into the natural landscape around it.
