Union Street.
Paving, concrete and timber. A series of outdoor spaces connecting heritage character with contemporary architecture.
Between home
and garden.
At Union Street, the landscape sits between a pink heritage house and dark contemporary architecture. Paved routes, concrete edges and timber decking connect the entrances and outdoor spaces.
The project photographs show a palette of contrasting textures: the linear grain of decking, the regular pattern of paving and the softer edges of planting. Changes in level create places to move through and places to pause.
From SOL’s earlier portfolio. SOL is now based on Salt Spring Island.
A connected
outdoor space.
Paving & concrete
Large paved surfaces meet concrete steps and low walls. The edges define planted areas and mark the transitions between levels.
Timber & planting
Decking creates a warm connection to the house, while grasses and planted beds soften the junctions between surfaces. Fencing frames the courtyard beyond.
