Kennedy Bronx Rooftop

Bronx, NY

The Kennedy Children's Center is preparing for a complete overhaul of their 9,000 SF rooftop play area at their Bronx facility. The redesign provides a wide variety of spaces for the school's young students, including covered activity areas, raised planting beds and play platforms, a sensory garden and grassy berm, lightweight fabric shade sails, and a continuous "track" for big wheels and tricycles. Large printed banners around the perimeter provide a sense of enclosure and privacy to the roof, and a new fixed awning along the east side helps to mitigate the sound and view of the adjacent elevated subway station and provides a tree-like edge to the playspace.
