Saturday June 20, 10:00 to 11:30am | Manhattan Midtown Sky Garden by Hank White, FASLA, and Aaron Booher of HMWhite This excursion to a spectacular workplace landscape will take visitors up high above the busy streets of Manhattan. The award-winning, 6,500 square-foot terrace of the Midtown Manhattan Sky Garden takes advantage of panoramic skyline views while providing an intimate garden backdrop to the mid-century-modern building’s newly-renovated interior workspace. Richly textured and seasonally diverse plantings include a dense blanket of drought-tolerant prairie grasses, wildflower perennials, and spring flowering bulbs, punctuated by flowering Crab Apple trees. At twilight, the garden evolves into a subtle stage set of textured plantings, rustling softly against the glow of a frosted glass parapet rail—a soothing space where workers can escape the conference room or the electrifying noise of the dense urban environment. The roof garden’s biophilic design has elevated employees’ well-being, productivity, and morale. Photo copyright C. Taylor Crothers Photography

To this client, it feels good to be home. After initially making plans to build, this client decided to take on a renovation so they could be closer to all of the action within walking distance in Evanston. When the clients found this old worker’s garage home, built by a Swedish immigrant in the 1930’s, they knew this was their home. NMI partnered with Michael Hershensen Architects to completely redefine the space. While MHA tackled the 2nd story family room addition and garage extension, NMI took the lead on all of the interior architecture. The vision for this home was centered around the kitchen and exterior courtyard. The kitchen was designed with hyper-functionality in mind as the client is a trained pastry chef and loves to entertain. The courtyard is a luxurious living space extension that provides the clients with true indoor-outdoor living during the spring, summer, and fall. This home proves that designing with functionality in mind can yield stunning results. From cooking to baking to dining and hosting, every detail was taken into consideration for how this couple lives and entertains.
