Christie Place / Scarsdale, N.Y.

Vegetated Roofing Projects

1 MIN READ

Christie Place is a luxury townhome community located north of New York. Developed by Ginsburg Development Cos., Scarsdale, and built by FM Home Improvement, East Orange, N.J., the buildings match the existing Tudor-style architecture of the Scarsdale village center. The vegetated roof includes a terrace area and plaza area. The terrace area is home to trees and shrubbery, and the plaza features grass, pavers and bluestone. Both areas include EPDM adhered to the deck, pressure-sensitive flashing to strip in the field seams, protection fabric and a geomembrane root barrier. The terrace area also uses drainboard, biobarrier root-protection fabric, intensive growth media, and specifically chosen plants and landscaping to achieve its functional and aesthetic goals. The plaza area features drainboard and pavers set into a shallow, coarse sand bed.PROJECT SUBMITTED BY CARLISLE SYNTEC, CARLISLE, PA., WWW.CARLISLE-SYNTEC.COM
