We’re thrilled and honored to receive an ASLA Award! The New York chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects gave Quennell Rothschild & Partners, which includes eDesign Dynamics, an Honor Award in the “General Design – Small Firm” category for Ferry Point Park East Waterfront (pictured). Here are the jury comments on our project:
“Ferry Point Park East Waterfront designed by Quennell Rothschild & Partners demonstrates how landscape architects are leading the way on coastal resiliency and natural solutions to transform urban edges. Focused on habitat creation, the primary goal was restoring wetlands and native maritime grasslands to this brownfield site, previously a garbage dump. The site provides sweeping vistas of the waterfront, the city, and the Whitestone and Throggs Neck bridges. The project not only improves waterfront resiliency but provides an educational and health amenity to a low‐income neighborhood that had suffered decades of pollution from illegal dumping. Landscape Architectural design services were contracted by the New York City Parks Department through their Design Excellence Program.”
The Ferry Point project will be exhibited all this month through April 30th at the Center for Architecture in New York City: centerforarchitecture.org
