Landscape Architecture + Environmental Design
At Tom Barratt Ltd., we design landscapes that invite people out into the world—onto trails, into parks, and through lively public spaces that feel distinctly of their place.
Based in Whistler, British Columbia, we bring resort-level experience, ecological insight, and strong implementation skills to projects across Western Canada. Our work ranges from community greenways and waterfronts to destination resorts and wilderness parks, always with a focus on experience, ecology, and long-term value.
Communications, Illustration & Digital Technology
Visions you can see, map, and measure.
TBL leads the way in digital communication and visualization for landscape architecture. Since adopting a completely digital workflow in 1988, we’ve blended creativity with precision to bring ideas to life—through high-impact graphics, interactive mapping, and clear, compelling presentations that spark community engagement.
Green Infrastructure, Native Planting, Natural Area Design
TBL designs with ecology in mind. Our expertise spans green roofs, rain gardens, bioswales, and greenways, all crafted to manage stormwater naturally, restore habitats, and elevate urban livability. We specialize in native planting design, environmental rehabilitation, and resilient landscapes that perform beautifully and sustainably over time.
Parks & Trails
As Whistler’s original Parks Planner, Tom Barratt pioneered the world-renowned Whistler Valley Trail—a benchmark for greenway planning and recreation design. Today, TBL continues to craft trail systems that invite exploration, promote wellness, and respect the natural environment.
Constructed Projects & Project Supervision
From concept to completion, TBL provides seamless, hands-on project management. Our team has overseen signature built environments, including the Whistler Athletes’ Village for the 2010 Winter Olympics. Every detail reflects our commitment to quality, collaboration, and lasting design value.
Artist Collaboration & Public Art
Art brings landscapes to life. TBL integrates public art into parks, plazas, and civic spaces, coordinating directly with artists to create works that enrich community experience and celebrate local identity. These projects reflect Tom Barratt’s enduring passion for the intersection of design and creative expression.
