Her expert technical knowledge has informed her designs for low-cost housing projects and playgrounds throughout Canada and, more recently, her integrated landscapes for high-profile public buildings.

Oberlander’s mother, who wrote gardening books for children, imbued her with a love of nature. A trademark of the architect’s work is her ability to create landscaping designs that blend with the natural environment.
