Rooftop Forest

Five stories above the streets of Manhattan, Austrian pine and and dwarf mugo pine have transformed an urban rooftop into a northern forest. More than 100 25-35' tall trees were lifted onto the building by a crane. Resembling an unspoiled patch of nature, these trees improve storm-water retention, provide insulation, improve air quality and increase property value not only to itself, but also the taller buildings surrounding the unusual view.
