We are LOCI

 

A group of placemakers, problem solvers, and designers aiming to improve the everyday experiences of our cities, communities, and natural landscapes. We are Landscape Architects + Urban Designers based in Vancouver, British Columbia.

 
 

What’s in a name?

Our firm’s identity stems from the idea of genius loci; a term in contemporary architecture that refers to a location's distinctive atmosphere, or a spirit of place. As landscape architects and urban designers, this idea embodies the approach to our work and our core inspiration for what we do.

Our strength begins with our team

For us, landscape architecture and urban design is about engaging with clients, responding to the site, being inspired both as individuals and as a team. We celebrate this process and share what happens behind the scenes, leaning on the expertise and enthusiasm of our people.

We believe in the relationship between quality of life and the built environment

We are inspired by the natural landscape of British Columbia and strongly identify with the West Coast. Sustainable principles are at the forefront of our approach, with a commitment to rainwater collection, absorptive landscapes, permeability, water-use reduction, visible green architecture, and using local materials that are naturally durable. This is a fundamental design driver for all of our projects, without exception.

Good design is the result of process and refinement

Unique partnerships develop new ideas and explore different possibilities with design teams and for clients. We combine this experience with a new approach to practice: we are focused, adaptive, and responsive, always striving to exceed client expectations.

 
 

Collaboration + Process

Collaboration is the touchstone of our firm. We love working as a tight-knit group to exchange ideas, but don’t hesitate to reach out to other specialists, engineers, fabricators, designers if we think the project will benefit, or if we need a fresh perspective.
