west 33rd avenue

new build | dunbar

Situated close by a busy entrance to a magnificent regional park, this garden boasts an array of newly planted trees, including maple, serviceberry, catalpa and kadsura—an ideal continuation of the forest nearby. A cleverly designed layout accommodates a lap pool on the western side of the building, seamlessly blending function with aesthetics.

Transitioning from a more untamed front yard to a meticulously curated backyard, the two spaces are united by a vibrant strip of planting nestled between the pool and brick wall. Cooler tones grace one half of the garden, and warmer tones the other. A basement courtyard is packed with ferns, moss and evergreen vines.

With the homeowner’s seasoned gardening expertise guiding the way, plant selection has been fine-tuned to reflect her tastes and preferences.
