Silver Cup Studios - Long Island City NY







The opportunity to visit the largest green roof installed in NY arose after visiting the Socrates Sculpture Park.

Silver Cup is a sound studio where the Sopranos, Sex in the City and many movies are filmed. I was very lucky to get access and a guided tour by the owner, who understandably is very proud of the green roof. His aim is to demonstrate to the government, public and most of all private business that green technologies are an economic benefit. The roof is highly visible from the Queensboro Bridge.

The garden was designed by Diana Balmori, a NY based landscape architect. 1,500 planters with 20 different plants were installed about 18 months ago.

Earth Pledge are using the roof to run some research and trial programs.
