A close up of Concord Pacific's Coopers Quay precinct.


Foundry in SEFC.


The Olympic Village.


Urban volleyball.


Tandem in Burnaby. In my opinion this is how you take an suburban street and make it a successful urban streetscape.


I was wandering through the new "wetland" area of the Tandem development when a heron awkwardly landed in the water in front of me. Startled, I snapped off a single shot that is actually the best animal photograph I've ever taken.


An amazing brutalist relic at the entrance to Lougheed Village.


Silhouette construction progress.


Cora II construction progress.

This is a panorama of the eastern end of False Creek in Vancouver and it shows the Olympic Village site now under construction with three cranes.
The larger Southeast False Creek Precinct is simultaneously undergoing development and these properties will incorporate many of the same sustainability initiatives as the Olympic Village and be built to a minimum of LEED Silver.
The Olympic Village will be LEED Gold with several buildings aiming for LEED Platinum of Net-Zero accreditation.



Incidentally, this was my first panorama. I stitched the images together in Photoshop and the edges are a bit rough, but I'm pretty pleased with it.
