Little Island (formerly Pier 55) is a whimsical park in New York designed by MNLA in collaboration with Heatherwick Studio. A dramatic 2.4-acre public park in the Hudson River that brings together art and nature in an immersive experience. Conceived as a leaf floating in the water, the pier is a topographic marvel that celebrates views, defines landscaped spaces, and provides resilience against climate change.
