where: the Rooftop Terrace at the Quorum Center
design concept: the garden charts the North Carolina landscape. River Stones create the flow of the state's rivers-West to East- with uniquely colored stones representing the mountain, Piedmont and Coastal Regions. North Carolina's native grasses and field flowers from each of the regions are growing on the rooftop.

Beautiful space! And rooftop gardens can help lower ground level air temperature.
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine if every city building had a gorgeous rooftop garden like this?
ReplyDeletethank you Bruce- a friend's blg. and rooftop concept.
ReplyDeleteDH- and imagine it is in NC! Very pretty I love it especially the garden layout as it relates to the state. pgt
I think rooftop gardens are equisite and to look down on one a delight!

That's really cool -- is is something that can be accessed by people in the building -- can they go for a walk or a sit up there, or is it only something that can be admired by people in other buildings (and birds!)?
ReplyDeleteVery exciting! I love roof-top gardens and remember a few years back being able to view from the windows of Saks' men's department the gardens atop Rockerfeller Plaza across Fifth. There's a magic about creating something so civilized in such an hostile environment.
ReplyDeletethis rooftop is in a multiuse bldg and I believe accessible to all residents. there is a great patio and kitchen lounge adjacent to it. pgt
