About Us
Founded in 2001, space2place is a nationally-recognized, award-winning landscape architecture firm with a reputation for forward-thinking design solutions, sustainable strategies and progressive community consultation methods. As our name suggests, we deliver high value by transforming spaces devoid of function and character into memorable, site-specific places that celebrate the unique natural and cultural qualities that make a place special. Our work brings together the practical and the imaginative as we strive to realize projects that enhance connections between people and their environments.
Our firm’s size allows us to have dedicated principal involvement on every project. We work in an collaborative
design studio environment that fosters open communication and sharing of ideas amongst designers. Our diverse
portfolio of projects has enabled us to be efficient in developing inventive design features and new techniques that can be adapted across a broad range of work. We work as the lead consultant on the majority of our projects, enabling us to maintain our design philosophy and vision at every step of the project.
Space2place has developed expertise across a range of scales and project types:
• Flexible, urban parks that are championed by the community (Kinsmen Park and Area Master Plan in Saskatoon
and Oppenheimer Park in Vancouver BC)
• Urban street improvements utilizing advanced technology and materials (Bernard Avenue Revitalization in Kelowna BC)
• Creative play spaces that respond to local contexts (Garden City Play Environment in Richmond BC, the Surrey
Nature Centre, SFU Childcare Centre at Simon Fraser University and Bonsor Youth Skate Park in Burnaby BC
• Ecological and social waterfront restorations (Spirit Trail in North Vancouver BC)
• Large-scale planning strategies that devise clear, yet flexible frameworks (The Spirit Trail in North Vancouver BC
and a City Wide and Operational Dog Off Leash Strategy for the City of Surrey BC)
