The brief here was to create a romantic, beautiful garden for entertaining, softening but not losing the fantastic urban view. This garden design centred around creating a space that was simultaneously secluded and outward looking.
Rooftop garden designs present some challenges. They’re often hot, lacking shaded areas, and with strong prevailing winds.
By planting Trachelospermum Jasminoides (Jasmine) on the transparent screens, I both provided privacy from the neighbours and introduced scent into the space. The grasses swayed
in the breeze beautifully, making the space feel less static, with the addition of perennials to herald the changing of the seasons.
Ultimately this design enabled the client to sit outside, secluded, protected from the wind, among betula pendula (silver birch) trees, enjoying the striking view, the beautiful garden in the foreground and the water in between.
