Two NYC Projects that won 2017 APLD GOLD Landscape Design Awards:
Brooklyn Townhouse
Lauren Pucciarelli - Gunn Landscape Architecture
This double design challenge includes a shaded patio garden -- just 610 square feet -- that connects the kitchen with an outdoor dining area. A number of white plantings lighten the area: dogwoods, oakleaf hydrangeas, and 'Honorine Jobert' anemone among them. There's also a small, tranquil seating area and a hidden grill at the rear.
Up on the roof, the 350 square foot terrace has a wet bar and entertainment area, and plantings were designed to allow views of the city while screening the roof garden from surrounding buildings.
Upper East Side Maisonette Terrace
Harrison Green
Jacqueline and Damien Harrison designed this split-level terrace to give their client maximum entertaining space that incorporates year-round greenery through ivy-covered fences and mass plantings of sculptural boxwood.
The client's request for blue hydrangeas is realized in four specimen plantings installed in Italian terracotta pots that anchor the corners of the rear garden. Materials and plants were locally sourced and decorative pebbles at the rear allow water to percolate through the soil.
