Chicago Specialty Gardens high rise residential garden utilizing custom size cubes for planting multiple birch and pine trees. We love their use of the LED face lighting on the terminating points of the IPE walkway. They used appropriate size planters and material thickness to ensure longevity through the harsh Chicago winters and summers.

The master bathroom has a calming in-home spa feel. We enlarged the shower to accommodate the owner's 6'3" tall husband and added a elegant oval soaking tub for her. Loads of new storage was gained with the new double vanity. Jonathan W. Miller

The owners of this shared Brooklyn rooftop garden needed to create three individual spaces without feeling too closed off, dark, or boxed in. The solution is a series of custom cedar trellises at varying heights mixed with lightweight planters that delineate each of the owner's deeded spaces. Flowering vines grow through the trellises to provide added privacy during the warmer months as well as pops of color and texture. River birch trees offer dappled shade and dimension, flowering perennials add color, fragrance, and attract pollinators, and ornamental grasses provide texture and movement while also masking some ugly HVAC units. The resulting rooftop space is open and breezy while also giving each family their own special private oasis.
