South Slope Garden
Brooklyn, NY
A brownstone garden for a textile designer’s family and tenants in Park Slope. The checkerboard paving, made of alternating thermaled bluestone and limestone, was selected to achieve a playful pattern while maintaining order and manageability. Specimen and evergreen planting is selected to maintain fanciful seasonal interest, even in the depths of winter, and a visual tableau from the deck above. Year round programming for dining, cooking, reading, and sitting by a fire was accommodated within distinct held spaces.
