PFS Studio are the landscape architects on a team led by Urban Strategies to develop a policy document for the Jericho Lands, a 90-acre post-military site co-owned and developed in a joint venture partnership between the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh (MST) Partnership, and the Canada Lands Company (CLC). Developed closely with cultural liaisons from Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations, the plans emphasize the existing ridge, forest, and water drainage as a framework to develop a mixed use, high density, multimodal community centred on several new parks and a cultural heart. Vehicular movement is minimized in favour of bicycles and pedestrians, and a hierarchy of public spaces are integrated into the fabric of the site, celebrating the dramatic grade changes and views of the mountains, ocean, downtown Vancouver, and Jericho Beach Park.

 Our offices are located on the traditional, ancestral lands of the Musqueam, Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh, Mississaugas of the Credit, Anishnabeg, Chippewa, Haudenosaunee and the Wendat Nations.   These lands are still home to many Indigenous peoples from across Turtle Island, and we are grateful to have the opportunity to live, work and play on these lands every day. PFS Studio is dedicated to moving forward in the spirit of Truth and Reconciliation in all the work we do.
