Urban Haven Rooftop Garden – Modern Green Oasis Above the City
A penthouse owner in central London sought to transform their exposed rooftop terrace into a lush, usable garden. Challenges included strong winds, limited soil depth, and weight restrictions. The goal was to create a peaceful green retreat with a contemporary feel.
Project Overview
This 120 m² rooftop garden was designed and installed in just six weeks. Using lightweight growing media, wind-resistant turf, and carefully selected container planting, we created a sophisticated urban oasis that offers stunning city views and a calm escape from the bustling streets below.
