Multi-Sensory West Vancouver Residence
A layered rendition of sound, colour, movement, and scent inspired in equal measure by coastal rainforests and a life of seeking around the world. Winding meditation pathways, tiered water features, custom-crafted steel wind chimes, and plantings that transcend regional categories make this sheltered garden a seamless blend of West Coast wildness and Eastern harmony.

The garden includes a Donohoe-designed Corten steel windchime installation, fabricated by renowned sculpture artist David Harber. The chimes are positioned for the natural breeze patterns of the site, and tuned to the pentatonic scale.
Plantings were chosen and composed in careful complement to hardscape materials from local sources and far-flung climes, including local granite and Chinese basalt.
