Future Green Studio

2 followers

Future Green Studio is a design-build firm in Brooklyn, New York specializing in landscape urbanism and green roof design. At the forefront of a national design movement focusing on establishing place and identity through ecological design, Future Green Studio offers a strong design vision, and a commitment to the union of beautiful spaces and green solutions. Our work focuses on reclaiming post-industrial landscapes, on planning future visions for cities, and on greening New York City’s rooftops. We use a patchwork of productive and performative landscape typologies to help transform neighborhoods and communities and facilitate developers and clients to “go green”. Our designs hope to reveal the sites' sense of history, imagination, wonder, and playfulness. Our intention is to scrape away, uncover and unearth the latent conditions of each site to reveal the eidetic, social and spatial processes that act a substrate to the site's successful growth. We work to reveal the nuances of our urban landscape in subtle, poetic ways that provide clues to the complex ecology of our territories. Current projects on the design boards include an urban public park in Jersey City, a senior housing center for HUD in East New York, a rooftop farm in retrofitted pool, and a new waterfront development project using flood mitigation strategies in Red Hook.
