About

Designed by Considered Design and expertly installed by North By Northwest Ventures, this vibrant green roof offers a peaceful retreat from the demands of the workweek. More than just a rooftop, it’s a carefully curated living landscape that brings nature into the urban environment.

Built with our advanced ZinCo Planter system, this space features enhanced water storage and deeper soil profiles, providing optimal growing conditions for lush trees, ornamental grasses, hardy shrubs, and thriving perennials. With abundant nutrients and moisture, the vegetation flourishes throughout the seasons—creating a dynamic and sustainable oasis in the heart of the city.
