"RoofTop The Bennett House"

With the contribution of the specialist firm "Smart Roof NYC", we designed a communal roof top garden on the front of the building with spectacular views of Manhattan and a private roof top garden with open kitchen and dining area for the pent house’s use on the back.

We covered the original perimeter slope of the roof with small planters creating a low green wall fence to give a gentle transition between the roof top garden and the views of park slope crown trees. The roof also employs several  green features such as: rainwater collection, solar energy, local planting and landscaping and  recycled materials.
