Today, Intracorp and Douglas Coupland unveiled 21st Century Rock Garden, a colourful and immersive public art installation at Intracorp’s Telford on the Walk (Telford) community. The piece features multiple bamboo-like poles in a variety of bright colours placed in a rock garden made up of Basalt and Jade stone. Located in Telford’s front courtyard, the piece marks Intracorp’s second public art collaboration with Douglas Coupland and a first-of-its-kind collaboration for Telford on the Walk.
Comprised of 366 homes made up of a mix of studio, one, two, and three-bedroom floorplans ranging in size from 412 sqft to 1,225 sqft, Telford, located in Burnaby’s Metrotown community, is Intracorp’s ninth Metrotown community. Designed by NSDA Architects and Richard Henry Architect and interior design firm CHIL Interior Design, Telford’s modern yet approachable design reflects the energy and beauty of the area.
“Telford on the Walk is a thoughtfully designed project, brought to life through the collaboration of our landscape architect, architect, and artist,” explains Evan Allegretto, President of Intracorp BC. “Including a public art component was essential to creating vibrancy on the ground plane, and we knew that no one could capture Telford’s energy better than the renowned artist Douglas Coupland. We look forward to collaborating with Douglas even more in the future.”
