A veritable oasis of greenery amidst the greater surrounding area of Bushwick, Brooklyn, the design of the Castle Braid courtyard reflects the client’s intention to evoke an urban, rustic green feel with angular, refracted lines repeated in the architecture and blend of Brooklyn’s past and hip future.

Features include a 25’ Honey Locust tree, Black Locust deck area with tables and chairs, living green wall, hammock, multimedia art TV wa ll, bocce court, in-ground LED lighting, as well as ample benches, trees, porch swings, and unique garden areas. Landform cones of lysimachia provide a structure to one garden area. Due to the post-industrial nature of the site, the entire courtyard drainage and soil profile had to be reengineered and structured in order to create the garden.
