View of a tiny but mighty Green Roof # 87: At just 350 square feet, the Gates Studio Green Roof is local green infrastructure at its best. Once a tar-covered garage, this now lush, living landscape extends a family’s backyard upward, offering a daily view of nature from inside the home.

NYGR collaborated closely with Maryann Thompson Architects to design the green roof to meet our client’s aesthetic vision while complementing the architecture and responding to the unique demands of the structure, the microclimate and the irrigation needs. The result is a beautiful, biodiverse landscape that accomplishes a lot in a very small footprint.

From design through construction and into long-term care, our team is proud to have created, and continue to care for, this little ecosystem.

For our clients and for our neighborhood. More plants on more roofs.

Gratitude to Center for Architecture for hosting The Fifth Facade: Green Roofs and the Future of Urban Comfort, and for inviting our founding partner, Amy Falder, to join this important conversation.

Organized by AIA New York’s Social Science and Architecture Committee, the conversation linked the topic to AIA New York’s 2026 presidential theme by Mark Gardiner, “Repair: Democracy and Urban Space,” and framed green roofs as tools for restoration of climate, community, and urban space.

Thoughtfully moderated by Melissa Marsh of PLASTARC, Amy spoke alongside fellow panelists Erik Olsen (Transsolar - Klima Engineering) and Sarah Kenny (Robert A.M. Stern Architects) to emphasize that these spaces don’t just perform ecologically and financially, they enhance human performance, shaping how people feel, focus, and function.

Roofs were framed not only as climate devices but also as human capital infrastructure that can support attention, well-being, and belonging.

By night’s end, one idea had crystallized: if New York is serious about climate resilience and democratic public space, the roof can no longer be treated as leftover real estate. It is essential infrastructure and shared civic ground.

View of a Green Roof No. 90: Today the Empire State Building turns 95!

Opened May 1, 1931 after a blink-and-you-miss-it 410 days of construction, this 1,454-foot icon initially redefined the NYC skyline and has been beloved ever since.

In a lesser-known layer of its story, tucked into its setbacks are 9,100 square feet of green roofs, which New York Green Roofs has been caring for since 2013.

Of course, we’d like to think these living rooftops are the real reason the building is so universally legendary, but the official line is that they’re part of an enduring campaign that incorporates a broader energy-efficiency strategy, attracting world-class tenants, supporting healthier workplaces, and reinforcing the building’s sustainability leadership.

We’ll let you decide which story you like better.

Happy 95th to the world’s most famous office building—still relevant and ever evolving, one green roof at a time.

Green Roof with a View # 89. There’s a rhythm out there. The planet spins. The seasons turn. The call of the wild renders life so alive it must be seen (and cared for by New York Green Roofs). Welcome spring!
