Ponderosa Commons

University of British Columbia, 2016

A Campus hub and hang out, this multi-phased public realm anchor project includes classrooms, labs, art studios, lounges, dining, and student housing. The landscape was conceived as a series of 'rooms' stepping down a sloped 'street'. Significant existing trees including a massive ponderosa and several mature flowering cherries, were retained and coordinated into the design.

Recipient of 2018 National CSLA Award of Excellence With Hapa Collaborative. Sarah acted as project lead.

Parc Campus for Royal BC Museum

Colwood, BC, 2026-

A major new facility for the Royal BC Museum, this new timber-frame building provides space for offices, archives, storage and educational programming. The landscape is designed to represent the natural landscapes of the hyper-locality, including garry-oak meadow. A feature pond was designed to assist with stormwater management on site as well as to create habitat. It's recirculating system helps to maintain water quality through a cascading reflecting pool and stream. Hapa worked with a specialized meadow designer to fine tune the planting design.
