Waterfront
Landing Phase 3
Squamish, BC // Bosa Properties
Working closely with Bosa Properties and Ekistics Architecture, LOCI has played a key role in defining and programming the many outdoor spaces, retail plazas, pathways, and planting areas of this multi-phase multi-family community along the waterfront of beautiful Squamish, BC. Phase 3 is part of a larger Master-Planned community that will help satisfy the growing demand of housing for young families and outdoor enthusiasts.

01 // Planning + Programming
While the working project is separated into phases, the lots that comprise Phase 3 are tied together via park space, pathways, materiality and landscape design thematics. Overall, the landscape design intent for these Phases of Waterfront Landing is to create a welcoming, safe and pedestrian-friendly multi-family neighbourhood, inspired by the surrounding coastal rainforest thematic with lush vegetation, wood and stone. Activated public spaces, flexible-use pocket parks, and rain water management are all key drivers for the landscape design of the entire site.

02 // Visualization and Collaboration
The proposed buildings are framed with a mixture of coniferous and deciduous trees, native planting beds and boulder outcrops to mitigate grade changes. The on-site pathway network, coupled with three distinct social gathering nodes and greenspaces, offer a range of activities for residents to create a distinct, 'community' feel for the site. In addition, this network connects with perimeter nodes to provide easy access to the larger system of trails and parks within the Waterfront Landing development.
03 // Next Steps
Construction for Phase 3B/C will commence in Summer 2021 – please check back here for my updates as this landscape design starts to take shape.
