"This stunning one-acre site is surrounded by pris

"This stunning one-acre site is surrounded by pristine forest that contains a network of trails, established and cared for by the homeowners over many years. A babbling natural stream runs through the woods and connects through the site, creating the perfect canvas for this idyllic garden. A core inspiration for this site was the Buren Perfumery gardens, a place the homeowners fell in love with when visiting Ireland. Influences of the Perfumery can be found within mixed variety of plants that offer beautiful aromas and sights for the senses, and through the rockery and stones built with ancient craftsmanship techniques. The planted spaces are a balance of colour and form throughout the seasons that also compliment the surrounded West Coast forest and offer interest at various levels of scale with layered with deciduous trees, flowering perennials, and structural evergreens, as well as a multi-dimensional rooftop planting. Meandering paths invite you through the garden beds to discover moments of plant combinations, water features, and secret seating spaces."

On May 11th, we'll hear what Biophilia Design has been up to lately as Bianca Bodley presents recent works, On the Boards.

MEET ANDREW VAN EGMOND, one of the speakers at the League's next On the Boards event, May 11th at Design Victoria.

After working for 11 years at OKRA Landscape Architects in The Netherlands, Andrew decided to start his own design studio. He won the LILA award in 2020 and was on the jury of this international Landscape Architecture Award in 2021. While working on different projects in Europe, ranging from small to large-scale landscape architecture projects and collaborating with various parties, he decided to utilize his dual (Dutch/Canadian) citizenship and move to BC about eight years ago.

Andrew is well known for his subtle and minimalistic landscape design approach. With his experience, he works to strengthen the sense of place by connecting it with the underlying landscape. Andrew’s landscape architecture explores the contrast between the natural landscape and architecture, striving for a balance between the spontaneous expression of nature and minimal-modern architectural interventions.

Andrew’s recent projects in the Lower Mainland and The Netherlands represent his continuing quest to work more and more in collaboration with nature. Working with geology, a sense of place and framing nature by implementing minimalistic, contemporary interventions that create a comforting, inviting and often contemplative experience. He is exploring circularity and always trying to anchor the site in the larger landscape.

MEET BIANCA BODLEY, one of the speakers at the League's next On the Boards event, May 11th at Design Victoria.

Bianca Bodley has 13 years experience designing and project managing residential and commercial installations in Victoria, Vancouver and the Gulf Islands. Her project portfolio includes public and residential landscapes, interior atriums, living walls and green roofs. Biophilia’s service is driven by Bianca’s values of open communication, accountability and understanding, innovation and sustainability. Whether it is a public space or an intimate interior atrium, Bianca believes each project has the opportunity to be a sanctuary for people to connect with their natural world. That vision is what drives her to explore and innovate, and to continue finding new ways to connect to nature as we design and build our environments. Bianca and her team take on a project as if it were their own and look to find efficiencies in team work and collaboration with the community of builders with whom we have fostered long standing and deeply respectful relationships.

Working at a variety of project scales, Victoria-based Biophilia Design Collective, founded by Bianca Bodley, aims to design meaningful, resilient, and connected landscapes that enrich the lives of all users, cultivate moments of connection, create and nourish a sense of community, and support the ecological and cultural fabric within which they exist.
