With wildfires remaining a significant concern, our designs for new builds, renovations, and restorations incorporate FireSmart principles learned through our 2021 certification through the FireSmart Representative Program.
Our region is among the world's most at risk wildland-urban interface (WUI) wildfires. Continued study is essential to better protect properties from these very real risks.
We have extensive experience preparing insurance claim estimates, ecological plans for environmental restoration, and landscape plans for redevelopment approval.
All plans for new builds, renovations and wildfire restoration include a comprehensive site assessment to identify existing at-risk conditions and recommend lower risk hardscape and plant materials.
Edible gardens are playing an increasingly important role in land use as rising food costs and climate-related disruptions heighten concerns about food security.
Key benefits include peak freshness, natural stress relief, exercise, and an improved sense of well-being while harvesting homegrown fruits, vegetables, and herbs also deepens our connection to our land.
Edible plants can be incorporated into existing gardens in simple ways, from larger potager gardens and raised beds, to pots on balconies and terraces. The options are plentiful, and the benefits are abundant.
Our Planting Plans are also designed to support pollinators, and habitat for our feathered friends, providing an opportunity for interactive spaces.
By collaborating with artisans both locally and around the globe, from natural-fibre artists and custom fabricators, to timber frame builders and stone masons, we create truly distinctive outdoor spaces for our discerning clients.
Our strategic partnerships with suppliers’, tradespeople, and artisans are grounded in shared value, passion, and long-term goals.
We value local partnerships that strengthen and connect neighborhoods.
Because wildlife is common in urban areas, integrating design, conservation,and regenerative practices can reduce conflict and support coexistence.
We are proud to volunteer within the local community, partnering with Interior Health's Adult Day Program for over 7 years, providing seasonal planters, incorporating mixed annuals and edible plants at various locations for the clients and staff enjoyment.
Between 2021-2024 Cohesion was privileged to collaborate with Habitat for Humanity during their Lake Country Build, with the belief that we design with community, for community.
