East Village Roof Garden
A rooftop garden addition with water feature located in the East Village of Manhattan.

The garden is accessed from a rooftop penthouse designed by pulltab and built two years earlier. A large diameter steel pipe was cut and placed into a new stucco wall. This aperture frames a view to a power plant located on the Lower East Side. The steel ring was left unpainted so it can rust and bleed down the wall. The floating bench is made from Cor-Ten steel and teak which is left to weather a beautiful grey.

A view from the connecting ramp towards the upper level of the roof deck. A custom Portland cement stucco planter wall tapers in a wedge shape continuing the line of the building parapet. Military surplus canvas screens are on the right. These are removable allowing access to existing service areas on the roof.
