The Practice

Considered design inc is a studio based design practice specialising in the creation of landscape that is defined by the process of conceiving, detailing, constructing and enjoying. Our approach is defined not by any particular aesthetic or style but by each project bringing with it new opportunities to explore a continuously evolving vocabulary of ideas. For us landscape architecture is a language that is spatial, elemental and complex. Innovation is the vehicle for us to find new ways of reading, understanding and making.

Case Study 6.0 Rennie Art Gallery, Vancouver, BC.

considered design inc/ public realm case studies

The design concept for the Rennie Art Gallery Roof Garden seeks to provide a high quality open space integrating seamlessly with the Wing Sang building and its surrounding environment.

The design evolved from initial ideas balancing the constraints and opportunities unique to this project. The Integration of these concepts within the buildings heritage results in a small palette of carefully chosen materials. The garden becomes a recessive backdrop contrasting the frenetic city and is employed as a foil to the permanently displayed art collection.
