Sutton Place's distinguished pre-war co-operative buildings and white-glove residential towers present a distinctive design challenge: transforming underutilized ground-level courtyards and setback terraces into fully programmed amenity spaces that serve the entire building community. These projects require close coordination with co-op boards, managing agents, and NYC DOB, and must satisfy ADA accessibility requirements while delivering the quality of landscape architecture expected by discerning residents.
