The Designers: Bill Pechet and Stephanie Robb

Pechet and Robb is an interdisciplinary design studio with a background in both fine art and architecture. Since 1991, we have produced a portfolio of projects which include public art, site furnishings, cemeteries, memorials, commercial interiors, exhibitions, set designs, private residences, and furniture. In all of this work, our interest lies in developing environments which bridge the worlds of art and imagination to everyday life.

Our work has been represented in both national and international publications and exhibitions, and we have lectured across Canada, the US and in Japan. Our projects have received awards from both the American and Canadian Society of Landscape Architecture, and a Lieutenant-Govenor of BC Innovation Award for 2005.
