Arial view of the roof terrace reveals the fascinating combination of materials that create the contemporary design.

The terrace entrance from the roof delivers an immediate sensation of release from the hectic streets of Soho below.

The combination of contrasting architectural components including steel green screens, ipe benches, and glass skylights are united with the softening layers of plantings.

A disciplined color palette edited to hues of lavender and pink provides the eye with repetition that organizes the space and calms the viewer.

The precision of angled edging seamlessly transitions the eye from each contrasting component of wood, steel and stone.

Panels of sedum were pre-grown with a dense variety of plantings for an instant result of total coverage, and thriving several months later.

A view from beneath the pergola provides a shady retreat to observe the coordinated garden components buffering the background layers of city skyline.

Elevated platforms provide city skyline viewing framed by a controlled wild plant palette.

The completed space provides a feeling of expansion delivered from the clean lined design, framed by the expansive skyline beyond.
