If the weather is cooperating, bundle up and take your borrowed book onto the 9th floor VPL Rooftop Garden. The Philips, Hager and North Garden – named after ‘ visionary city-builders, businessmen and philanthropists, who have contributed to Vancouver through their numerous charitable pursuits’ – officially opened in September of this year.

The 16,800 ft² roof garden was designed by legendary landscape architect, Cornelia Hahn Oberlander. To get to the rooftop, you’ll walk through a light-filled, new interior space from the VPL’s original architects, Moshe Safdie & Associates and their local partners, DA Architects.
