Project:
Teardrop Park, new york, ny
Teardrop Park is a 1.8-acre public park in lower Manhattan that tran-
scends its small size, shady environment, and midblock location through
a bold topographic design strategy consisting of complex irregular
spaces and dense plantings. Teardrop's design and construction were
coordinated with the development of four surrounding apartment build-
ings, each ranging from 210 feet to 235 feet in height.
