Modern Terrace Garden at Greenwich Penthouse in New York, NY - a design that highlights seasonal changes


At this Greenwich Village penthouse in New York, renovations didn’t end at the back door. Together with Rogers Marvel Architects, Dirtworks PC Landscape Architecture firm created a modern terrace garden to pull the contemporary feeling from inside all the way outside. Clean lines rule here and the minimal approach to landscaping create an ultra modern and chic look to this rooftop terrace garden project. Textures abound with smooth, round stones bordering the house, while linear shapes make up the hardwood walkway underfoot. Shrubs allow minimal maintenance while bright yellow potted flowers inspire color and nature in this backyard palace. The different greeneries create an eclectic feel to the penthouse surroundings and contrast the city backdrop. An ivy-covered steel trellis and lounge furniture set the ambiance for a peaceful and rest-filled retreat.
