Chelsea's mix of converted industrial buildings, gallery-district condominiums, and Greek Revival townhouses produces a diverse range of outdoor space commissions. The neighborhood's design-forward culture means clients expect outdoor spaces that hold their own against gallery-quality interiors — precise material selection, considered planting design, and lighting that functions as architecture.
