MNLA was commissioned by New York University to undertake landscape enhancements for four signature venues within its urban campus.
Washington Square Mews is one of those rare spaces in New York that charms every passerby with its quaint character and old-world scale. As part of NYU's building conversions on the Mews, MNLA's contribution restores the palimpsest of historic paving while achieving universal accessibility. To comply with the highest standards for a landmark restoration, MNLA's documentation graphically describes each era of paving for accurate reinstallation and the integration of contemporary materials.
