About Jacob Petersen

Jacob founded PETERSEN STUDIO in 2014. Significant leadership experience within all phases of project design and implementation allows Jacob to effectively integrate research and design vision with high-quality technical detailing to deliver projects of any scale and complexity. During 14 years with Hargreaves Associates, Jacob was Principal-in-Charge of many of the firm’s award-winning, national-profile landscape architecture and planning projects, including: Discovery Green, Houston’s 12-acre $53M central park, enjoyed annually by over a million visitors, Belo Garden in the heart of downtown Dallas, Elizabeth Caruthers Park in Portland’s bustling South Waterfront District, and CAC Waterfront Park on San Diego’s North Embarcadero. Private landscapes include ResMed’s Corporate Headquarters Campus in San Diego, The Infinity high-rise residential development in San Francisco’s SOMA district, and Parkview West, a high-rise residential and park project adjacent to Chicago's Navy Pier. This extensive project experience accounts for over $150M of built work in major cities across the country. Jacob thrives in collaborative environments with fluid exchange of ideas and perspectives.
