Sunset Nursery & Operations Centre

Vancouver, BC

Born of the Sunset & Stanley Park Works Yards Master Plan we completed in 2020, the brand new Sunset Nursery & Operations Centre is now open in South Vancouver. A cornerstone of Parks Board operations, the project provides a new home for Canada’s last municipal nursery and parks operations, while remaining a good neighbour to the Community Centre, Arena, Park and local residents.

Summerland Cabin

Summerland, BC

Founder Bruce Carscadden spent his early retirement (and the pandemic) building his “Architect’s Own” cabin in Summerland, BC. We can’t take credit for his vision and hard work, but we sure do like visiting him there.

You can donate here to support Summerland’s recovery from the 2026 Bald Range Wildfire.

Bella Coola Centennial Pool

Hagensborg, BC

Faced with budget, schedule, and location challenges, we replaced this 50+ year old outdoor pool in remote Bella Coola with a stainless steel pool shipped from all the way from Czechia – the first outdoor public pool to use this solution in Canada.

Our CM partner, Chandos, produced a wonderful video on this project – check it out here.

Circle Wellness Spa

Vancouver, BC

Born of a desire to improve people’s lives and an unshakable belief that wellness demands attention to the body and the mind and the spirit, the Circle Wellness Spa pods are a leap of faith backwards to a more foundational feature of what it means to be human.

Lions Gate Community Recreation Centre & Library

North Vancouver, BC

A visionary strategy by the District of North Vancouver, this project spanned ten years to implement a community recreation centre into part of a much larger, high density development project at the core of the Lions Gate Town Centre. This community amenity was deftly planned to be opened at residents moved into the multi project, multi year, re-imagined neighbourhood – no small feat.

Winskill Aquatic Centre

Delta, BC

The long-planned crown jewel of the City of Delta’s recreation facilities. We’re working fast and furious with our friends at Dialog – literally, their team includes two former Carscaddians, Edward Park and Stewart Burgess.

The band is back together! It’s amazing!

Covered Multi-Sport Boxes

Lower Mainland, Mostly

Historically intended as covered lacrosse boxes, we have advocated the use of covered multi-sport boxes across the Lower Mainland as a way to extend the playing season while also lowering capital costs, operational costs, and minimizing our carbon footprint. (‘Cause we’re all in this together!)

Stainsbury Apartments

Vancouver, BC

One of only a handful of projects to make it through the City of Vancouver’s Moderate Income Rental Housing Pilot Project (MIRHPP, because that’s a mouthful) Stainsbury is a cost-effective, Passive House affordable housing project.

East Van Residence

East Van, Yo

We think Jim Sutherland said it best about this project in Western Living:

Maybe it’s more prose than poetry, but Carscadden’s description of the project as “beautiful decisions that fit within the rules” is as apt a description of a successful urban renovation as is likely to be found. Leave it to the client to supply the poetry. “There’s nothing about it that I’d change,” says Cossever (client). “We got it all.”
