Jonathan Club

Commercial Project

Project Summary

Farmscape has collaborated with Jonathan Club on this downtown LA rooftop farm since 2011. The project began as 6 stock tanks on the northern edge of the roof and expanded to the current scope in 2013 based on positive feedback from the chef and membership. The planters provide fresh produce, harvested daily, for the on-site restaurant and special events.

We have worked with Club leadership since 2011 to develop this former track and paddle tennis court, converting it incrementally into a signature rooftop farm and event space.

“Here we are, one of the great agricultural spots in the world. Year round we have this ability to grow anything we want. And why shouldn’t we be able to do that downtown?”

– Matthew Allnatt, GM/COO at Jonathan Club
