Our beautiful rooftop garden project at the School of Nursing for Columbia University is now a highlight on the CUIMC campus tour! The green roof offers amazing views of uptown and midtown Manhattan. It’s a space for outdoor study, gatherings, and relaxation, with flowering trees, edible gardens, and areas for shade and aroma.
The reconstruction of the Untermeyer Gardens pool has been completed! MKM redesigned the pool to become a decorative fountain, incorporating reproductions of the existing mosaics and lion’s head fountain spouts.
We have exciting news to share about Untermyer Gardens! While the temple of the sky pool undergoes rehabilitation, MKM has completed a pavement extension project. The extended pathway now runs through the amphitheater, widening the original mosaic pavement to accommodate various performance activities. Additionally, this extension allows visitors to explore the gardens from the east to the iconic west end, known as the Vista Overlook.
Stay tuned for more updates on the progress of our projects at Untermyer Gardens as we continue to enhance this beautiful oasis for everyone to enjoy.
We are excited to share that our project, 510 West 22nd Street, is featured in an article "Green Roofs: Everything You Need to Know About It - and 7 Spectacular Examples" by Zoe Lina Wehmeyer on Architectural Digest Germany, known as AD Germany, an international architecture magazine.
510 West 22nd Street includes a series of terraces with lush green roofs, echoing the neighboring High Line, the iconic elevated greenway in New York City, created by repurposing a historic freight rail line.

The design of Nature to Bridge, an outdoor learning space located along Harlem Valley Rail Trail, has received approval from Duchess County! Developed by MKM, this innovative project features a series of outdoor learning clusters that stretch from a welcoming kiosk on Millerton's main street in New York to the renovated old rail bridge spanning the Webatuck Creek.
MKM's design approach focused on the integration of interpretive signage, featuring diverse forms and ornamental details, harmoniously blending with the local nature and culture. These captivating learning clusters will be adorned with layered plantings and a vibrant pollinator garden, creating a truly immersive experience. To enhance interaction and provide recreational opportunities, the space will also feature boulder-like seating and scientific learning equipment.
Nature To Bridge is poised to become a captivating destination that seamlessly combines education, nature appreciation, and interactive engagement. Stay tuned for updates as we bring this visionary project to life!
