DECATUR ST. GARDEN

In-Progress | Brooklyn, NY | 2025
Client: Private

Tucked behind a classic Brooklyn brownstone, this garden for a young family transforms a compact urban backyard into a layered retreat. Planting beds frame and define a series of “rooms,” balancing openness with separation between the tenant space, dining area, seating area, and a lush lawn. Views flow seamlessly through the garden, inviting exploration, while each zone feels intimate and distinct. A mostly native planting palette bursts with seasonal color, supporting pollinators and local ecology while offering year-round interest. The garden is designed for both play and quiet moments while balancing ecological benefits and maintenance needs.
