GARDEN DESIGN
The clients wanted the upper
terrace to have a true roof top
feel, complete with a kitchen and
barbecue. Considerable time was
spent designing the barbecue
and entertaining area to ensure it
provided a wonderful setting for
relaxing, eating and enjoying the
cityscape. It has a glass balustrade
with the glass-covered lift shaft
just off centre. Decking keeps the
look clean and uncluttered whilst
an array of planters, pots and
verdant boundary planting add
a more relaxed roof-top vibe. It is
the perfect space for entertaining
and eating al fresco, with the lush
planting providing privacy without
restricting the wonderful views of
the surrounding city.

The narrow terrace located off the
kitchen is used as a more informal
seating area. The low light levels
here have necessitated the selection
of shade-tolerant plants. The
boundary planting and green wall
in this area provide a lush backdrop
without encroaching on the tight
space.
The use of vertical planting and
carefully selected pots and planters
containing mature and interesting
trees and shrubs provide a feeling of
being in a lush green environment
without claiming too much space.
Both artificial and natural plants
have been used in some of the green
walls.
