An UES townhouse is transformed in the Arts and Crafts style, with a self-pollinating rooftop garden

An UES townhouse is transformed in the Arts and Crafts style, with a self-pollinating rooftop garden

By
For a client who had attempted two previous renovations in an Upper East Side townhouse that had retained its grand details from a 1937 remodel, the third time was a charm with the guidance of architect Anik Pearson. The townhouse received a complete overhaul of its infrastructure and service core to maximize performance and efficiency, with the layer of history reflected in its rooms and details carefully restored and preserved. Among the best of the renewal was the redesign of an existing rooftop garden to include sustainable elements like a grass roof, live-roof sedum and herb garden modules, a vegetable patch, a flower cutting garden, an orchard, a worm compost and a beehive for pollination.

With massive skylights and a private rooftop garden, this $5.75M Soho loft is like a greenhouse with benefits

By
It doesn't get much more Soho than this rare (in this century) live/work-legal penthouse at 35 Wooster Street, in one of the neighborhood's most iconic buildings–not least of all due to the fact that the popular art institution and gallery The Drawing Center anchors the building as the street-level tenant on landmarked Wooster Street. This beautifully-preserved pre-war cast-iron three-bedroom loft has the typical open layout, tons of detail and character (including high ceilings, a fireplace and amazing skylights), and plenty of light.

This $1.2M Factory Loft With a Rooftop Garden Is a Pleasant Surprise in Greenwood

By
A certain "just right" location can make a buying a home there seem like it's a way better idea than it might have been, say, ten years ago. That certainly describes one thing this unexpected loft condominium has going for it; it's exactly at the crossroads where Greenwood meets South Slope and Sunset Park, with a side of Gowanus. All of those neighborhoods are uniquely poised, each in their own way, to become some of the most exciting districts in Brooklyn. Though the surrounding streets are more likely to yield modest clapboard or brick multi-family homes, this 1,255 square foot condominium in a converted factory building at 248 17th Street just south of the border (of Park Slope) conveys a vibe of cool, authentic loft living, with poured concrete floors, painted brick walls, 14-foot ceilings and oversized steel-framed casement windows. And while the $1.2 million price tag may be a sign of the times, it's definitely a sign of the territory.

Gluck+’s Adirondacks Lake House Is Partially Buried Under a Luscious Rooftop Garden

By
Simply called the Lake House, this unique, hidden getaway by NYC-based Gluck+ is completely immersed in the surrounding Adirondack Mountains. Designed for leaving the stress of urban life behind, it consists of a collection of buildings, each with its own purpose and style. Right at the top of the hill there is the Gatehouse Garage with its wooden skin, there are two smaller prefab Guesthouses within the woods, a big modern Family House and a wooden Boathouse on the lake's shore. But the most striking building of all is quite difficult to spot; the Recreation Building is concealed under its grassy green roof, sheltering an indoor swimming pool and art gallery.

For $5.75M, experience cottage living surrounded by gardens–on a Gramercy rooftop

By
Manhattan's limited collection of rooftop cottages is the stuff of legend, but they're rarely available for sale. One of those legendary structures, part of a penthouse co-op atop a classic Gramercy loft building at 105 East 16th Street, is now on the market for $5,750,000. Along with the freestanding sky-cottage is a stylish main apartment and multi-level gardens and terraces. This unusual urban aerie has been published in New York Magazine–it's the East Coast home of Mark Lee, Broadway producer and former CEO of Barneys and Gucci.

By
Related Companies announced last year plans to add 15 new gallery spaces around their Zaha Hadid-designed condo at 520 West 28th Street. One of the galleries tapped for the project, the Paul Kasmin Gallery, will serve as the anchor tenant and expand into a 5,000-square-foot space. In addition to boasting 22-foot ceilings and 28 skylights, the single-floor gallery will have a sculpture garden designed by Future Green on its roof. Because it sits alongside the High Line, "the garden serves as a verdant extension to the elevated park and showcases outdoor artworks in a rich seasonal tapestry," according to the landscape architects.

$1.56M Cobble Hill condo has a garden, rooftop terrace, and laid-back loft style

By
This bright, loft-like Cobble Hill condo pulls off a pretty neat trick: It’s on the ground floor (giving it a private garden) and it also has the penthouse perk of an enormous skylight and a private roof terrace just above. How is this possible, you ask? The apartment occupies the rear extension of a 25-foot-wide brownstone at 56 Bergen Street, combining penthouse perks and garden level access. The two-bedroom 1,413 square-foot home is at the crossroads of Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn Heights and Fort Greene, within walking distance to everything from Trader Joe’s to the Promenade and antique shops on Atlantic Avenue.

Peter Massini is a multi-disciplinary photographer, working on architecture, landscapes, and graphic patterns. But his specialty is aerial views, for which he hangs from the open door of a helicopter on almost a daily basis. 6sqft got a look at one of his recent aerial collections of New York City's rooftop patios and gardens that he shot from 1,500 feet in the air. These hidden oases reveal an entirely unique mashup of concrete jungle and green space. "What led me to shoot these from above was my interest in true green roofs and their benefits for the eye as well as the environment," Peter told us.

Greenwich Village Townhouse Boasts Cool Rooftop Office and Personal Secret Garden

And not only is it beautiful, but the 1840s townhome underwent an extensive reconstruction project, completed in 2012, that made it the first townhouse in downtown Manhattan to earn a LEED for Homes Gold rating.

$22M Cobble Hill brownstone is five floors of architectural perfection, from the wine cellar to the rooftop deck

By
Built in the 1850s, the five-floor brownstone at 205 Clinton Street fits right in with its stately neighbors on an elegant, historic Cobble Hill block–but the home's interiors are in a league of their own. Reflecting a two-year renovation helmed by award-winning architect Mike Ingui, the 25-foot-wide townhouse has been completely rebuilt within its carefully-preserved frame, from the basement wine cellar and gym to four levels of outdoor space topped by a rooftop clubhouse and deck. An elevator takes you to all levels with hand-carved stairs and mezzanines in between. There's even full-service concierge parking. As the pricy neighborhood's biggest-ticket listing, if the townhouse sells for its stratospheric $22 million ask, it would be the third-highest sale in Brooklyn.

By
On the market for the first time in over 50 years, this two-family townhouse at 744 Carroll Street may not be sporting a brand-new re-do, but it's more than ready for classic Park Slope brownstone living. Asking $3,995,000, the 3,700-square-foot home currently offers a garden apartment with a triplex above (with capacity to build an additional 1,700 square feet). Interiors have been well-kept, retaining their graceful original architectural details; the home's standout feature, however, may be an extra-long backyard with winding stone paths, secluded gathering spots, and a vegetable garden.
