 TOP 5 TRENDS

Nifty lifestyle? It took blood, sweat & tears to make it happen here by the Strand, where highly restricted access, crane hire, street closure, scaffolding, roof resurfacing, plumbing, tiling & planting all took place over a whole toilsome but productive summer.

Detail &Colour

The vibrant red of the bespoke outdoor kitchen provides a bold focal point, centrally positioned. What about detail? LED strip lighting sets the deck steps afloat, texture changes from tiles to wood & grass, while planter edges, screening & lighting all weave an architectural, immersive narrative.

Architectural& Focals

Zoned into a trio of discrete spaces, the large roof garden has a purposeful layout. Is it architectural? Custom-made planters, sculptural trees & bold bespoke features reiterate an architectonic approach, melding the rooftop into its landmark-laden skyline.

Mediterrane& Trees

Which trees did we plant? In this open 360-degree aspect, windy & sunny, we planted Mediterranean floras, highly conducive to the conditions, with Olive, Strawberry tree, Green Olive & 3 types of Palms, underplanted by redolent Alpine mint bushes.
