Landscape Architecture + Design
At Biophilia, we are passionate about designing meaningful, resilient, and connected landscapes. Our team is a collective of thoughtful and like-minded individuals with diverse backgrounds, skillsets, and specialties. Together we draw on a combined 40 years of experience designing landscapes in the private, commercial and civic sectors. We believe that successful Landscape Design should enrich the lives of all users, cultivate moments of connection, create and nourish a sense of community, and support the ecological and cultural fabric within which they exist.
With respect, we acknowledge that Biophilia Design Collective exists on the traditional territories of the Lekwungen speaking Peoples, also known as the Esquimalt, Songhees, and W̱SÁNEĆ First Nations communities. We recognize our privilege as we work, live, and create with the land, and view each design as an opportunity to evolve our awareness, deepen our understanding, and aid in the pursuit of reconciliation.
“Our office has worked with Bianca Bodley and the Biophilia Collective for two years, from small clean-slate single family projects to large BC Housing projects located on sensitive environmental waterways. I appreciate how their collaboration skills, technical knowledge and authentic design vision are very well balanced. They efficiently bundle these three qualities into particularly succinct and clear drawings, delivered faster than expected. Bianca and the Biophilia Collective are cognizant of trends in landscape design, so they can avoid them. Instead, they are advocates for site-specific, tactile and textured landscapes that are designed for the present and the future.”
