An aerial precedent for expansive terraced green roofs utilizing curved concrete parapets to integrate massive urban outdoor rooms into the city fabric.
- What we like about this project
- Sculptural metallic art monoliths punctuate the planting beds near the upper terrace steps.

- Geometry
- Tiered terraces step down following curving linear pathways alongside a dense urban thoroughfare.
- Facade system
- Curved exposed concrete parapets and full-height glazed openings facing the terrace.
- Structural guess
- Cast-in-place concrete flat slab construction supporting intensive green roof loads.
- Spatial scale
- Large-scale urban roof garden spanning multiple levels with human-scaled walkways and furniture.
- Lighting
- Bright late-afternoon sun casting long diagonal shadows across the hardscape and planting beds.
- Atmosphere
- Lush, open-air serenity suspended above a busy urban street.
- Environmental context
- Elevated urban rooftop terrace situated next to a heavily treed roadside and city fabric.
- Spatial experience
- Movement flows across expansive open-air green decks that blend sweeping views of the adjacent streetscape with landscaped pocket seating.
- Composition rhythm
- Sweeping curved bands of hardscape alternate with rhythmic planting strips.
