up on the roof

.



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.

  1. Beautiful space! And rooftop gardens can help lower ground level air temperature.

  5. 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!)?

  6. Very 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.
