Simple geometric forms highlighted by colorful plant material create intimate gathering and seating spaces for a condominium development.

Located along Rockville Pike outside of Washington, DC, the Grosvenor Park Condominiums project required a thoughtful approach to creating new linear terrace gardens that are simple, yet playful, and provide much-needed outdoor amenity space. Areas adjacent to the lobby are defined by a playful gridded paving

pattern, also rotated against the lines of the garden walls to create an added dynamism to this small space. MKSK’s design includes extensive screen planting for terrace level units that serve as the backdrop for the communal terrace space and allow residents to enjoy both spaces simultaneously. 

 

A series of rotated square groundcover parterres are anchored by a line of Honey Locust trees and provide visual interest and shade for adjacent paths and seating areas.
