East village loft
This project was completed during the pandemic, with both of our clients working from home. We capitalized on the high ceilings and openness of this multi-level loft space, planting several kinds of vines on the upper two levels that trail down to the living space, as if from high tree branches in the jungle. The cascading vines helped create a sense of ‘rooms’ in this open air loft. Hanging spider and pothos plants adorn these former factory windows, with a Rhaphidophora tetrasperma climbing up the trim.
Sunlight pours in from a skylight in the primary bath, creating an opportunity for succulents like burro’s tail, ponytail palm, hoya australis, and unusual cacti to grow and thrive. We’re grateful to our wonderful clients for their trusting and collaborative spirit throughout this project. Click here to see their rooftop garden!

“Jarema and Adam have done an incredible job in our home! They transformed our living room into a jungle, our bathroom into a beautiful cactus garden, and our rooftop into a lush garden with native plants so we can also feel good about feeding all the wonderful pollinators. I didn't know butterflies could fly this high! They have been beyond lovely to work with and used their expertise and creative eye to take our vision to the next level, including planning out and ordering the outdoor furniture to match our tastes and the garden. We are so thrilled with how it all turned out and would love an excuse to work with them in the future!” - CLIENT
