Printhouse Lofts

New York Green Roofs was contacted by the condominium board of a large complex and asked to follow up a major waterproofing rehabilitation to transform the existing outdoor spaces into something of a dream for the residents. Two distinctive six story buildings on the north and south sides of the property are connected by a vaulted courtyard walkway so that the condo works as a whole. This courtyard pass through is new and layered, a hybrid of both wild and cultivated plant communities. It serves to provide a beautiful, ecological experience when moving between buildings and gathering together. Industrialization drove nature out of cities years ago. This landscape brings back Williamsburg’s natural systems that thrive within our built world.
