PFS Studio (design lead)

In 2014, thinc design teamed up with PFS Studio as the local executive landscape architect to restore and revitalize Grange Park into a strikingly beautiful, resilient, sustainable and accessible landscape. Both interactive and contemplative, it welcomes neighbours, residents and visitors through design excellence, state of the art conservation techniques and outstanding works of art.

The vision includes extensive tree protection and enhancement in consultation with Urban Forestry, custom play areas designed with Earthscape, interactive water features by DEW, public art, open lawns, rest areas and meandering pathways.

As local landscape architect, thinc design oversaw day-to-day contract administration. This included managing the consulting team, working with the general contractor and sub-trades, and coordinating communications between stakeholders. The project was completed in the summer of 2017.
