#WLAM: It’s no secret our company was founded on landscape architecture, which is why designing 40 Oaks Parkette in Toronto was a no brainer. This unique parkette is designed as three distinct program areas that reads as XOX, representing hugs and kisses when viewed from residents’ windows above. Guided by community-led initiatives to fulfill residents’ visions for a thriving neighbourhood, it harmoniously combines thoughtful design and placemaking. Residents and visitor...s have access to a community garden, a small amphitheatre, and ample space to sit and reflect amongst nature. A plaque marks the location of a time capsule buried by Regent Park residents! . . . #FORREC #FORRECDesigns #WLAM #GrowingTogether #ThrowbackThursday #WorldLandscapeArchitectureMonth #LandscapeArchitecture #CelebratingLandscapeArchitects #TBT #throwbackthursdays See more

#ThrowbackThursday: When the Kingdom wanted to expand its borders, FORREC was called upon to rethink the master plan and come up with some fresh concept designs and program development.

With a population of 2.9 million people, Toronto continues to be an excellent laboratory for the evolving practice of installing plants and soil on building rooftops in a large urban setting. They not only provide environmental benefits but also are a great way to enjoy the outdoors in a natural setting. Did you know: Green roofs reduce the urban heat island effect, energy consumption, and storm water run-off while improving air quality, fostering biodiversity, and beautifyi...ng the urban landscape. They can be great places to meet, host an event or just take a break! It’s also a natural habitat for birds and other pollinators. . . . #FORREC #FORRECDesigns #ExperienceDesign #EntertainmentDesign #Architecture #LandscapeArchitecture #Architect #LandscapeArchitect #MasterPlanning #ConceptDesign #ArtDirection #DesignManagement #GraphicDesign #ProgramDevelopment #ThemeParks #WaterParks #VisitorAttractions #Resort #greenroof #Sustainability #Toronto #YYZ #urbanplanning See more
