The other rooftop element besides
the parking is a small park that acts as a break area for
employees of Maag as well as an amenity for the neighborhood.
Here, the landscape architect played off the bright green
with contrasting pink planters and overflow bins that reveal
the workings of the plant below. Lime trees sit in some of
the planters, giving the perception that the rooftop park
is an extension of the surrounding trees. By incorporating
a park into the design in the
beginning stages, a rare amenity was built alongside and above
the practical elements that usually take precedence and make
a park as a late addition an impossibility. |
