Centered around a vibrant inner courtyard, Telus Living in Sechelt demonstrates how thoughtful outdoor spaces can transform a 60-unit rental community.

The central courtyard creates a flexible shared area for gathering, play, relaxation, and connection. By pairing exposed mass timber columns with soft, textured plantings and integrated wood benching, the project bridges the gap between nature and structural form, drawing daylight, fresh air, and greenery into every level of the building.

Koto is open to welcome new students to Simon Fraser University on Burnaby Mountain this week.

Student life is demanding, making daily access to nature an essential component of mental health and focus. Our landscape design uses an indoor-to-outdoor concept to connect residents directly with the surrounding natural environment. These restorative spaces offer a grounded setting for students to decompress, build community, and find their rhythm.
