Kitsilano
This unique front garden in the community of Kitsilano was a close collaboration between Watermark and our clients – an architect of national stature and an avid gardener. The Modernist design concept called for changes in levels, space for entertaining and for solitude, a zinc waterwall focal point, steel post and cable fencing, and hard surfaces combining concrete, stone and river rock. The plantings were lovingly chosen for their colour, texture, form and scent. The predominantly silvers, greys and whites of the perennials and annuals reflect the colours of the house, the hardscaping, the furnishings and the nearby sea, helping to create a sense of calm and a brief respite from hectic city life.
