The green roofs and entry courtyard of 240 Central Park South
pull the character of Central Park through the building and up to the roof.
Contoured ribbons of shrubs and sedums are interwoven with lines of slate,
mimicking the rock outcroppings in the park. This landscape is designed to be
experienced from multiple viewpoints. Visitors walking by the building catch
glimpses of the cherry trees peaking over the parapet wall, while tenets inside
the building are surrounded by the rolling ribbons of plants. From the neighboring
buildings and apartments above, the multiple levels of rooftops appear to join
together into one unified landscape.
