To quote Pete Axthelm, “Basketball is the city game. Its battlegrounds are strips of asphalt between tattered wire fences or crumbling buildings; its rhythms grow from the uneven thump of a ball against hard surfaces.
It demands no open spaces or lush backyards or elaborate equipment. “
From these streets, NYC has a legacy of producing point guards from Bob Cousy to Lenny Wilkens to Tiny Archibald to Kenny Anderson. We sadly didnt hold onto our homegrown Mark Jackson and Rod Strickland. Starbury and former point guard and championship coach Larry Brown feuded.
Now the torch has been passed from childhood hero Walt Frazier to our savior Jalen Brunson. He has brought us to the mountaintop.
A humble but tough leader - no trash talking, old skool values, letting his actions speak for himself.
Props to his parents who instilled these values in him.
Even the negative ju-ju from trump couldnt stop him.
The city is ecstatic, electric and energized. A moment of pure joy and exhillaration. The daily stress of hustle and bustle nyc daily routine is gone, if only momentarily.
Orange and blue skies forever. 🔶️🔷️

Sometimes the best way to understand a design is to walk through it! 🚶‍♂️📐

We recently chalked out this floor plan at full scale so our clients could experience the space in real time. Life-size design often reveals things that drawings can’t do alone.

One of the joys of being a design-driven studio is finding creative ways to bring ideas off the page and into the real world!

Our team recently took a to the museum here in NYC.

The museum, designed by George G. Shimamoto, is the same visionary behind the house design of a property that we are currently crafting a space for.

Seeing his design work “up close and personal” gave us a deeper understanding of his spatial rhythm and harmonious integration of materials that are expressed in his design work.

Five favorite shrubs for fall based upon our work as a New York landscape and garden design practice. Ideal for rooftop gardens and outdoor space in urban areas.

1. Hydrangea quercifolia “Ruby Slippers” / Oakleaf Hydrangea. This is our little gem after 2 years growing from literally a root. We click our heels three times every time we lay our eyes on it. Lol

2. Vaccinium corymbosum / Blueberry.  After you’ve enjoyed the dainty white flowers of spring, been snacking on the fruit through the summer, you then get the added benefit of a great show of fall color. Yellow, orange, then wine red. A much better alternative than the invasive Euonymus alata, know as the burning bush which is commonly found at gas stations and within suburbia.

3. Callicarpa americana / American Beautyberry.  Beautiful and bold it is! Tiny berries come borne in clusters around the stem producing show-stopping amethyst jewels in autumn. It’s perfect for planting in the rear of a mixed border when the foreground plantings lose their luster, the little jewels of beautyberry shine. Birds and deer eat the berries. As with many shrubs, if you plant in full sun, your fruit production will increase. 

4. Amsonia hubrichtii / Threadleaf Bluestar.  Feathery foliage turns to yellow and orange,  moves effortlessly in the autumn breezes. Great texture for a garden designer to work with. While not a woody shrub, I included it as I use it for massing much like a woody.

5.Fothergilla gardenii “Mt Airy”/ Dwarf Fothergilla.  This shrub is native to most lowlands in the coastal atlantic United States. The color shifts from unique blue-green leaves toward brilliant shades of yellow, orange and light red in fall.

A wonderful evening dinner bringing together horticulturalists to celebrate Andrew Fisher Tomlin and the publication of The Modern Professional Planting Designer.

From the text…
“There’s is no single way of designing with plants. Different projects call for different solutions, everyone is individual, every project unique. In the twenty-first century, the challenge for planting designers is that we must deliver engaging, resilient, and functional solutions that meet the need for human interaction but ideally also fulfil other ecological roles, such as reducing urban temperatures and pollution, improving and protecting wildlife habitat, creating biodiversity and even sanctuaries for plants themselves. But how do we bring our knowledge and understanding together into intelligent planting solutions?”

Answer…This fabulous, well thought out text provides these solutions !! 😉
