NYC Urban Oasis is a high end landscape designed as a true retreat within the city. Rewild Landscape integrated crafted hardscape, circulation, and architectural detailing with layered planting selected for texture, fragrance, and seasonal change. Rooted in rewilding principles and horticultural precision, the oasis supports biodiversity and becomes more immersive as it matures over time.

Rewild designed this urban oasis in the heart of downtown NYC—a lush, tranquil residential haven that reintroduces biodiversity into the city. This landscape offers a cool, refreshing retreat during the summer months while providing vital habitats for pollinators and birds. With a focus on restoring ecological balance, Rewild’s design contributes to the vision of tomorrow’s cities as biodiverse and rewilded spaces.

The landscape includes:

  • Native Plantings: Rewild carefully selected resilient, region-specific plants that attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, helping to cultivate a thriving urban ecosystem.
  • Bird-Friendly Design: Fruit-bearing trees, sheltering shrubs, and thoughtfully placed water features create a welcoming environment for birds, providing food, nesting spaces, and refuge.
  • Seasonal Transformation: A design that evolves with the seasons, offering year-round beauty and ecological benefits through shifting colors, textures, and scents.
  • Cooling Green Canopy: Dense tree plantings and lush vegetation that naturally reduce the heat island effect, creating a cool, shaded retreat in the heart of the city.
  • Vertical Greening: Rewild maximized space by incorporating green walls, rooftop gardens, and vertical planting, enhancing biodiversity in a compact urban environment.

By seamlessly blending human comfort with ecological richness, Rewild’s design reshapes urban living, creating a model for sustainable, biodiverse cities of the future.
