This rooftop amenity is integral to the offerings of this new commercial office development nestled with Brooklyn’s burgeoning tech and creative district. The terrace builds upon the development’s ethos of the seamless integration of old-world craftsmanship with contemporary infrastructure and design. The living roof substantially improves the building’s energy efficiency while offing an inspiring outdoor work environment. Places for peaceful retreat, group meetings, active recreation and entertainment venues are integrated within an immersive network of landscape spaces distinguished with a unique low maintenance, drought tolerant urban perennial meadow.
