Territorial acknowledgement
We gratefully acknowledge that we live and work on the unsurrendered, sacred, ancestral lands and waters of the SENĆOŦEN-speaking W̱SÁNEĆ First Nations, particularly the SȾÁUTW̱ and W̱SÍḴEM, whose reserve lands on ṮEḴTEḴSEN (now also known as East Point, Saturna Island) is also within the extended territories of Hul̓q̓umín̓um̓- and hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓-speaking peoples.
After working for 11 years at an internationally operating Landscape Architecture studio in The Netherlands, Andrew van Egmond decided to fully commit to his own design studio. He won a LILA award in 2020 and was part of 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 British Columbia, Canada, in 2016.
Most of Andrew’s projects are in Canada these days, but he also works on projects in Europe. Working on two continents brings him inspiration, new insights, and conceptual ideas.
Andrew is known for his subtle and minimalistic landscape architecture. With his experience and award-winning approach, 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 contemporary architecture, striving for a balance between the spontaneous expression of nature and minimal-contemporary architectural interventions, resulting in inviting, sensatory and often contemplative outdoor spaces.
His recent projects in Canada and The Netherlands represent his continuing quest to work more and more in collaboration with nature and the local landscape. He explores topics like circularity, regeneration and climate adaptability and always tries to anchor the site in the larger landscape.
Andrew’s work is often unconventional and always context-driven.
