This project was recognized by the Canadian Society of Landscape Architects with their 2019 National Award of Excellence.

At the foot of North Vancouver’s main street and central to the dramatically re-imagined public waterfront, sits the Foot of Lonsdale Plaza. This lively public square features amenities such as Tap & Barrel, along with the stunning Vancouver skyline views.

The water feature makes use of the site’s natural cross slope. A thin plane of water is carefully calibrated to flow in gentle waves across a serrated stone surface, creating a mesmerizing, moiré effect; not too little water, yet not too much.
