A building in New York dedicated to providing green experiences for its residents combines innovative interior and exterior landscapes that engage the senses from the street entrance to the roof.

A former water feature is converted to a greenwall to give residents a lush greeting at the lobby entrance. Drift patterns of contrasting color tropicals infuse the wall pattern with motion and challenge the gravity of the dramatic high ceilings.

The varying plant heights, colors and textures reveal themselves in dimension when the wall is viewed en route from the elevator, providing an alternate experience of the living canvas.

A seasonally inspired tabletop arrangement gives visitors a living composition to contemplate while waiting to be announced. The living plants in the dynamic design also contribute to the building’s “green identity” by delivering a more sustainable approach to floral design than cut flowers.

A rooftop terrace on the 36th floor commands views of lower Manhattan that dwarf the viewer with the scale of the city spread out upon the horizon.

Planting beds featuring coordinating annual and perennial blooms requires precise maintenance in the extreme wind and full sun conditions.

An open but nested garden experience greets visitors to the entrance of the lower level common garden.

Layers of garden elements invite exploration including lawn, fountain, and a red steel pergola that stimulates the senses.

A meticulously maintained lawn creates a park like setting where residents can dig their toes in the turf and escape the city pulsing on the streets below.

The lure of the protected pergola is an inviting destination to take shade and experience the garden in its entirety. A visitor can contemplate a stroll around the flower beds to explore the all summer blooms or a restorative nap on the lounges.
