Alex Lerner (BLArch.) //
Founder x Principal Designer
Alex Lerner, the founder and principal designer, holds a university degree in Landscape Architecture. He gained his design experience with a number of landscape architecture firms and hands-on landscaping experience with a major BC contractor. Although Alex has worked on a wide range of projects, including commercial, industrial, institutional, and recreational, he finds residential projects to be the most rewarding due to the personal relationships with clients and the unique nature of each project.
As many residential outdoor spaces are installed without a proper design, usability is often compromised. Lack of planning results in generic spaces that do not serve their owners. Alex founded the studio to create site-specific designs that reflect the client's lifestyle and character. The studio offers professional yet affordable design services with this goal in mind.
Design Approach //
CREATIVE
We listen to the client's wishes, understand their needs, and come up with elegant solutions that are likely to exceed expectations.
INNOVATIVE
We use advanced tools and techniques to create and communicate our designs. Our immersive methods of presentation include photorealistic 3D rendering, 3D fly-throughs, and VR presentation.
FUNCTIONAL
Great ideas are not enough - they need to work. We are experts in taking an idea from its conceptual stage to a high level of detailing. We ensure it works and will continue working for years to come.
PERSONAL
Outdoor living spaces are highly personal. This is where people spend time with their family, relax after a long day, and create lasting memories. No two sites are alike and no two clients are alike. We believe that every project needs to reflect the lifestyle and character of its owners.
COLLABORATIVE
It takes two to create a personal living space - the client and the designer. To avoid creating generic and poorly suited spaces, we invite clients to be involved in the design process. We love to hear about their dreams and what inspires them, so we can incorporate their personality into the design.

Footnotes:
1 // We find that clients are much happier with the end result when enough time was dedicated to find the right solutions.
How much time? That depends on the project. In general, a comprehensive design process typically takes 2-4 months.
2 // We care about each project and go to great lengths to provide high quality service. That is why we are being selective with the projects we take.
3 // Our designs are never generic. They are tailored to the client's needs, budget, and site conditions. We carefully learn all three components and deliver creative solutions within the parameters.
