Boerum Hill Terraces

Life thrives at all levels of our built world, as evident in every urban landscape. When a busy family decided to purchase a white box duplex in Boerum Hill, we were invited to transform the apartment’s outdoors spaces into tranquil havens. Each of the terraces and rooftop hosts a resting spot, surrounded by a profusion of plantings, the kind that most people crane their necks to get a glimpse of from below. Striking foliage from trees dangle over parapets and provide shade while hedges, vines, grasses, and flowering perennials anchor the garden and provide privacy as well as visual interest. Glance skyward here and see pine trees etching a line against the clouds and grasses billowing in the breeze.
