“The Point”, New Westminster BC
With a combination of retail units below a high rise tower and with attached townhouse units over more commercial retail units, this mixed use development provided the opportunity to create an interesting green courtyard within a complex framed by urban streetscape. With the courtyard flanked by the project’s indoor amenity space it offered a special place for family gatherings, outdoor workouts, low-key toddlers play and seating all within a semi-private, planted framework. Trellised rooftop planters and seating also offer added communal outdoor living space as well as individual rooftop gardens on the townhouses.
