At Revere, the rooftop landscape is shaped by the city beyond it. Low, prairie-like planting preserves broad views while bringing seasonal color, texture, and pollinator habitat to the green roof and terrace. Ping pong, fire tables, a community grill, and built-in seating give residents different ways to gather and spend time outside, while the fitness courtyard and climbing wall create a more active space below. Together, the landscapes balance openness, social life, and everyday use across the building.
“On the roof terrace, we wanted to preserve and frame the city views. A shallow planting profile kept the landscape low and open.”
“The low planting creates an open, prairie-like character that keeps the skyline present throughout the terrace.”
“Seasonal change was important to the planting palette, with shifts in texture and bursts of spring color giving the roof a different character throughout the year.”
“Fragrance, texture, and movement soften the rooftop environment and give residents a quieter place to slow down. ”
