Sky View Parc Landscape Architect Moss Gilday Group, LLC Location New York, USA
The Sky View Parc Rooftop Garden is a blend of highly designed landscape spaces, innovative construction detailing and technology that creates a private park for the residents in a dense urban environment. Located in Flushing, New York, close to CitiField Stadium, Flushing Meadows and Main Street, sits the mixed-use development named Sky View Parc. The about 306.58-hectare mixed-use development consists of a 4-storey retail building and associated 2,700 vehicle multi-level parking garage. Six 12-storey towers rise about 38m above the retail rooftop and flank the perimeter to create the open space for the rooftop garden. The rooftop space between the buildings is designed to create an urban oasis for the 1,100 residential units. The 14,164m2 rooftop garden contains a variety of highly detailed and intensely landscaped active and passive recreation spaces. The design concept was to create a series of programmed rooftop spaces connected by a soft but dynamic walkway – The Promenade. The gently serpentine Promenade walk leads through and along a series of landscape experiences that connect the three recently completed Phase I Towers and resident amenities. (Ultimately, six towers are planned.) Pedestrian level views are guided with anticipation by the careful placement and hierarchy of the walks and reinforced with the wide variety of lush landscape plantings. With more than half of the units having a direct view of the rooftop garden, the organic geometry of the landscape is also experienced from Towers above. This unique visual aspect of the rooftop garden has been instrumental in the positive unit sales trends for the project.
