Cook Children's Hospital, NICU Rooftop Garden

After a week on a rooftop in Fort Worth, TX, Casey brought back some photos of his adventure.  This was a very cool install designed by Dunaway Associates and contracted by Linbeck Group LLC.  The whole rooftop was covered in synthetic grass that was visually pleasing yet still allowed drainage.  A small stream was constructed by using crushed blue glass and river rock.  These elements set the stage for our sculptures, over 80 pieces, to give the illusion of a meadow pond teaming with life! Since the sculptures were placed on a rubber membrane roof, base plates were made to hold each piece in place without puncturing the delicate surface.  The bases were hidden under the grass and glass.  We are thrilled with the results and hope the patients and staff that have this view from their window will be refreshing.
