MKM’S 510 West 22nd Street Project was chosen by the 2019 Green Roof and Wall Awards of Excellence in the Intensive Commercial/ Industrial/ Institutional category.
MKM has been awarded an exciting design job, to create a learning center, named the Bridge To Nature, on a portion of the Harlem Valley Rail Trail just north of Millerton, NY. The science bridge will be sited on and surrounding the bed of an old rail bridge. Interactive displays and interpretive signage will encourage visitors of all ages to stop, learn, and experience the natural world.
MKM has been awarded a design project involving the reconstruction of the Untermeyer Gardens pool. The formal garden, set inside Untermyer Park, was commissioned by Samuel Untermyer in the early 1900’s, and features formal axial walks and water features. Grecian follies built into a hillside offer broad views of the Hudson River and Pacific Palisades. The pool will be converted to a decorative fountain, and will incorporate reproductions of the existing mosaics and lion’s head fountain spouts.
