Project Description: The eccentric West Village building designed by artist Julian Schnabel is called Palazzo Chupi or also known as The Pink Palace, because of it’s bold pink colored stuccoed walls. There are several terraces that line the towering palace. Alive Structures was hired for the landscaping of the largest and most exposed terrace on the 8th floor. The planters are custom made from reclaimed wood from the Coney Island Boardwalk. They are combined with elegant stone and ceramic planters. The plant palette contains pine trees and perennials that can tolerate the strong winds and direct southern exposure. The landscaping work expanded onto the 9th and 10th floor terraces.
