Adaptive Green has had the privilege of working with environmentally and socially influential organizations, such as the United Nations, Toll Brothers City Living, Chrysler Building / Danish Consulate, and more. Throughout these projects, we were able to explore intensive courtyard landscaping with hardscape (such as concrete curbing, and masonry pathways), carpentry, specimen planting, installation of a new state-of-the-art waterproofing membrane, and other efforts.

Learn Which Green Roof Is Right For You
With an estimated 40,000 acres of green roofing installed throughout New York City, each building implementing sustainable practices drastically reduces damage to the climate. No two green roofs are alike, just as no two buildings are alike. Each has its own needs and characteristics and we’re here to help you determine a concept that is right for you.
What You Should Know About the Law
Local Law 92 & 94 pertain to buildings in New York City and require all new construction, as well as significant renovations, to create a sustainable roofing zone. Such renovations include modifications to an existing roof requiring a permit and horizontal and vertical extensions. Buildings must cover all usable roof space with vegetation, solar panels (photovoltaic), electricity-generating systems or a combination of the three. There are rare exceptions, which we are happy to review with you during your consultation.
The Advantages of Going Green
Sustainable practices and designs, such as green roof systems and rainwater harvesting, reduce waste and harm to the environment while saving you time and money. Green roofs provide peaceful spaces that inspire focus and creativity. Having access to spaces such as living roofs helps foster productivity and wellbeing in your organization.
