We were challenged with creating as much useful outdoor public and semipublic living space for this project as possible in a small infill lot. Two towers flank an elevated garden roof space for the condominium inhabitants. Special detailing was developed in conjunction with the architects and vegetative roof contractors and specialists to maximize the diversity of plants and to provide an optimal outdoor space from the perspective of a person in the space and from the views onto the space from above. All of the planting for the project is on roof structure. A high degree of technical coordination was required to insure the successful integration of the architecture and landscape on a project to where the two are virtually seamless.
