Congratulations to our dear friend Virginia Burt on 30 remarkable years as one of Canada’s leading landscape architecture practices. We have had the privilege of collaborating with Virginia on many of our northern projects and deeply value her profound commitment to nurturing and enriching Canada’s natural ecologies and habitats.
Akb’s work is rooted in the seamless integration of architecture and landscape, and her thoughtful approach to place has enriched that vision in countless ways.
Congratulations to the entire VBD team on your new book “Capturing Essence.” We look forward to seeing your legacy continue to shape the Canadian landscape for many more years to come.

Ahead of International Parkinson’s Day (April 11), the Akb team stepped into the ring to experience Rock Steady Boxing, a program Principal Robert Kastelic credits for helping manage his Parkinson’s.
Diagnosed in 2017, Rob uses movement to combat symptoms like stiffness and balance issues. Joined by Parkinson Canada CEO Karen Lee, the team trained at Cabbagetown Boxing Club, discovering a demanding workout focused on coordination and strength. “It’s not just exercise,” says Rob, “it also restores confidence.”
The experience is enriching Akb’s overall approach to design, with a deeper understanding of how safer, more accessible homes can improve life for those living with Parkinson’s, as well as for those seeking homes that can last for an entire lifetime.
To bring more awareness to how strength training can help combat Parkinson’s symptoms, Akb has donated to Rock Steady Boxing. Our deep gratitude to the coaches at Cabbagetown Boxing Club for their commitment and generosity.
