Rooftop living in a city like New York demands more than aesthetics—it demands endurance. With temperatures that can swing from sweltering summers to icy winters, building a rooftop space that looks stunning and performs year-round takes more than creativity—it takes mastery. That’s where Tier II Landscape Design excels.
Designing for the Demands of the Sky
Tier II has built its reputation by tackling one of the most complex challenges in urban design: the rooftop. Their integrated design-build approach ensures that creative vision translates directly into technical execution—without compromise.
Elevated environments face punishing winds, intense UV exposure, and limited infrastructure space. Where others see constraints, Tier II sees opportunity. Each project begins with environmental analysis—from wind load and solar mapping to freeze-thaw patterns—guiding custom solutions like integrated drainage, wind barriers, and winterized irrigation systems.
