4 Private Open Spaces
Private Open Spaces
166 PEARSON DOGWOOD REZONING
4.1 Internal courtyards (Parcel F)
KEY PLAN
“Private” Courtyard
Urban Agriculture
Water Feature
Seating and Planters
From an publicly accessible open space perspective,
Pearson Dogwood leaves comparatively little room
for private spaces due to the strong site commitment
of connectivity and accessibility. Nonetheless, these
spaces should also reinforce the core principles of the
open space network for Pearson Dogwood: memory,
social engagement, connectivity and food systems.

Covered shelter area over a private water
garden and shade area
Open lawn area for informal games,
picnics, and small social gatherings
Refi ned rain garden connects to larger
system along East - West Promenade
Communal garden plots with seating
and connections from pathway to
communal lawn
For the private pocket park in Parcel F, these principles
come to life to create a diversifi ed yet intimate space for
adjacent residents

4.2 Patios, Terraces and Balconies
All residential patios will provide a personalized and intimate
outdoor space for each unit, where owners can relax,
socialize, cook or view the surrounding activities of the
Pearson Dogwood site.
Many of these patios will be located adjacent to public
amenities, such as the City Park, Urban Farm, and small pocket
parks and common areas within each development parcel.
Each patio will enjoy a combination of views to the immediate
landscape amenities, and privacy screening in the form of
either architectural screens and/or shade trees and plantings.
Residential terraces and balconies form the viewing platforms
of the site, both for internal views of the Urban Farm, the Park
and the many plazas, but also to extend views of the Cambie
Corridor, Marine Drive, the Fraser River and Mt. Baker.
Materials, form, texture and scale should be in concert with
those of the building facade and interior spaces.
Edges should be augmented with perimeter plantings and
small shade trees to provide cooling, solar protection and
wind protection.

4.3 Residential Common Roof Top Areas
Figure 4-3: Common Roof Top Areas - Intensive vs. Extensive
Common roof top areas provide an opportunity to convert
a large portion of site area to usable and engaging spaces.
The materials and programming for each rooftop will depend
on the function, use and tenants of the building, as well
as adjacent buildings. The following is a preliminary list of
potential uses and programme ideas for various common
rooftops and podium landscapes:
• Family Development Centre - child care equipment,
thematic play, outdoor classroom
• Podium Landscapes - open lawn and informal play; dog
run; outdoor dining; urban agriculture
• Residential Towers - outdoor dining area / lounge areas /
cocktail bar and games area, garden plots / herb garden

4.4 Commercial Common Roof Top AreasComplex Residential Care
The Complex Residential Care facility has activated a portion
of the rooftop space by locating a residents terrace garden
and a Multipurpose Room at the roof top level. These spaces
will be accessed from the residential house fl oors below on
Levels 2-5 and from the Main fl oor level by both a service
elevator and a passenger elevator.
The terrace garden is located with east and south exposure.
This terrace will allow a larger group of residents and their
families to enjoy the outdoor environment. This space,
along with the Multi-purpose room, can be used for
entertainment events, parties, family gatherings and outdoor
social events bringing the residents, families, staff and
community together. The terrace space will be designed in
conjunction with the user group and the Functional Program
requirements.
The Multipurpose room will be glazed with louvers facing
east and south for maximum daylight exposure and control
and there will be windows looking into the interior court to
the north. This will become a welcome space for residents
in the winter, as well as for days that are too cold to go
outside onto the residents’ terraces at each fl oor level.
The Multipurpose Room will be further developed and
designed with the user group and the Functional Program
requirements.
YMCA
The third fl oor of the YMCA includes a large south facing
landscaped roof terraces, which will be used for outdoor
functions associated with adjacent multi-purpose space and
the Family Development Centre, as well as outdoor exercise
areas associated with the gym and/ or interior exercise
studio space. An outdoor walking/ running track extension
to the indoor track may also be considered.
