Midtown Highrise

This lush green roof is nestled 17 stories up amongst the towers of Midtown Manhattan. The terrace surrounds the HQ offices of a bustling realty company and features diverse perennial plantings integrated with ipe decking. A series of beautiful, rolling topographic features create an undulating meadow landscape that stands in stark contrast to the highly urban context. Its existence enhances the experience of the company employees and serves as a representation for progressive ecological design in the built-environment, reflecting what we can do to make our cities more livable, efficient, and sustainable.
