The Practice
Considered design inc is a studio based design practice specialising in the creation of landscape defined by the process of conceiving, detailing, constructing and enjoying. Our approach is determined not by any particular aesthetic or style but by each project bringing with it new opportunities to explore a continuously evolving vocabulary of ideas. For us landscape architecture is a language that is spatial, elemental and complex. Innovation is the vehicle for us to find new ways of reading, understanding and making.

An opportunity to explore the daily rhythms associated with arrival and departure. A stepped, fragmented banding draws the user to the arrival point of the front door entry. Planting is employed as the counter point to the sober tones of exposed aggregate and pigment dyed concrete. Seasons are celebrated with blossoms and movement.

A sloping site six degrees off the orthogonal provides our starting point for this contemporary suburban home in West Vancouver. A quirky twist to the other otherwise North South East West site plan gives us the dynamic counterpoint from which to develop our program and invent the future narrative of materials and form to our second exploration in suburban living.

Our project began as an opportunity to work with an iconic piece of Vancouver’s Architectural heritage. An early work of Peter Busby’s office, the building is a modular work of steel, concrete and glass. Our response started with trying to figure out how to illustrate our clients desire for year round greenery with both privacy and openness. Employing techniques associated with modular landscape design we developed inset planters, specially fabricated in a powder coated steel, lifted into place and sited accurately within the framework of the architectural composition.

Case Study 9.0Private Residence, West Point Grey, Vancouver.

Located on an elevated plateau this single family residence offered few views to the broader West Coast landscape beyond. Our approach was to define external spaces through light, form, texture and programme. Sensory planting combines with utilitarian surfaces in a folding composition reflecting a contemporary massing in the architectural composition.

The design responds to the clients desire for a low maintenance landscape appropriate in conception for a modern house in a leafy traditional neighborhood. Taking our cue from the Dutch De Stjle movement the lines, points and surfaces of Mondrian and Reitvelt are transformed into spiky blue grasses, low box hedges and delicately flowering service berries.
