We've moved! After decades in Manhattan, we're enjoying our new view of Long Island Sound from up in New Rochelle. We haven't gone too far, though, we're just a 30-minute train ride to Grand Central. So we hope to see you here soon!
The Public Parks, Private Gardens: Paris to Provence exhibition opens in New York's Met museum. The exhibit features a selection of 19th century french garden tools on loan from Mr. Morrison's collection. Opening night was a great experience. The exhibition runs through July 29.
Our team enjoyed some food and fun before the holidays.

MKM is working with Studios Architecture to transform the terrace and roofs of the top two floors of an office building at 150 5th Avenue into an inviting and functional outdoor area for meetings and relaxation for future tenants. The MKM design incorporates understory trees and hedges for area separation; perennials and grasses to soften parapet conditions and to support pollinators; and a meadow on a roof saddle that surrounds a glass room on the top floor. Plans are now complete and construction will begin shortly.
Mark K Morrison has been invited to present at the CTASLA's Green Roof Structures program to discuss his extensive experience planting and designing green roofs in NYC.

At Turkey's Bilkent University, construction has begun on the foundation and on MKM's design for the green infrastructure beneath the Quad. The green infrastructure is designed to accommodate all the stormwater from the roofs of the new student residence building as well as stormwater runoff originating from the surrounding existing structures.
