Beautifying the city and making the cover
Blondie’s Tree House, a renowned landscape and horticultural care company, was charged with the task of creating a peaceful, serene green space for the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in New York. The space is located on the 38th floor walk-out where it was to be used primarily for yoga and meditation. Faced with the challenge of bringing a touch of nature to a building 38 floors up led them to seek alternatives to natural grass. After searching online for artificial turf for rooftops, Blondie’s found SYNLawn. The inspiring result served as the backdrop on the November cover of Condé Nast Traveler magazine.
Working with SYNLawn of New York, Blondie’s Tree House developed mock-ups and tried various artificial grass types. After many meetings and experiments they chose SYNRye Premium 200 for its natural appearance to surround the elevated octagon deck area. The tan color in the thatch area (down in the roots) gave Blondie’s the subtle natural appearance they were seeking. Aside from its natural appearance, SYNRye was chosen for its durability. Made of 100% nylon fibers, the most durable yarn type in the textile industry, Blondie’s knew SYNLawn was the best choice.
