TANK 2012 Client photographs
http://www.lynngaffney.com

These photographs were taken of the roof deck (May 2012) by our client and show the wonderful planting and how truly green it is up on a roof in the midst of industrial/commercial Chelsea. There are also a few photos of the clients' adorable cat Jenny within the space.

Deck Drainage Questions - Can you explain how the deck drainage system works? Is water re-directed to the edge, or is water allowed to fall directly through the paver spacings? Thank you, you have designed a beautiful urban oasis! »

Lynn Gaffney Architect, PLLC Water is able to fall directly through the edges of each paver. The pavers are raised on pedestal system for easy drainage below.

7. Create a natural home for your garden's wildlife. Slow-growing hedges, especially native varieties, will give even the smallest garden the benefits of providing shelter and food for birds and insects. The last thing a Slow Gardener needs in the garden is topiary or a fast-growing hedge that needs a lot of time-consuming clipping and care.
