Designing Landscape

Andrew works in Canada, The Netherlands and internationally.

He is well known for his subtle and minimalistic landscape design approach.  Andrew is always searching for unconventional solutions and new concepts in the landscape architecture profession..


With his experience and his award-winning approach, he works to strengthen the sense of place by connecting with the underlying landscape. Andrew believes every place tells the story of the landscape to which it belongs. There is always a conscious or subconscious connection to the landscape and a good landscape design response to that. 


Andrew’s landscape architecture explores the contrast between the natural landscape and architecture, striving for a balance between the spontaneous expression of nature and minimalist architectural interventions. His intention is to allow the natural, intuitive beauty of the landscape to express itself and to enhance the connection with its surroundings by framing nature in a humble and minimalistic way.

"Located on Saturna Island (British Columbia, Canada), his office serves as the central hub for his work. While based here, his focus is to serve the communities of the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island. However, He also extends his services beyond this region, actively pursuing opportunities across Canada and internationally.




When collaborating with international clients, we start with a remote consultation to understand the project's scope.

After outlining the design and proposing an implementation plan, we're on-site at key points during the project.


Andrew's practice guides projects from their initial concept to successful completion. Committed to flexibility, we welcome projects of all scales, complexities, and sectors, consistently delivering high-quality services and exceptional outcomes.



Inquiries about Andrew's design philosophy and approach to your property or development can be made by contacting him.
