Kingfisher Pacific Resort & Spa

Courtenay

Designed to enhance the Kingfishers signature west coast identity, the Serenity Gardens seamlessly integrates guest relaxation into the surrounding coastal setting. Winding pathways meander past flowing streams and cascading waterfalls, leading visitors to cozy niche patios equipped with private gas fire bowls for immersive outdoor lounging.

To preserve breathtaking ocean and mountain views from lower-floor suites, the layout uses precise sightline management anchored by dramatic, narrow “punctuation conifers” that provide architectural structure without obstructing vistas. Framing these vertical accents, lush, floriferous plantings deliver sweeping, seamless transitions of color and texture across every season.

This project was designed in collaboration with my talented colleague, David Bossom.
