This green roof sits atop a new residential building in the heart of Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, blocks away from Gowanus Canal. Built-in cedar screens and planters delineate seating, dining, lounging, and play areas. The unique 360 degree view of the Manhattan skyline and of downtown Brooklyn offers a dramatic backdrop for this roof space which additionally, as an ecological intervention, plays an important role in stormwater capture.

The ground floor lobby integrates built-in bluestone planters and a reclaimed wood feature wall. Long, linear strips of bluestone paving activate the ground plane and pull visitors into the building.
