The Bowery's transformation from a historic commercial corridor into one of Manhattan's most sought-after residential addresses has produced a distinctive typology of outdoor space: loft penthouse terraces atop converted commercial and institutional buildings, often with generous footprints, dramatic views of tree canopies and the surrounding streetscape, and the raw industrial character of aged brick and scaffolding as backdrop. New York Roofscapes brings ASLA-accredited design and NYC DOB engineering expertise to Bowery projects — navigating the unique structural, waterproofing, and wind exposure conditions of these converted buildings while delivering the quality of landscape architecture expected by discerning loft owners.
