This apartment project demonstrates how thoughtful design can maximise even limited spaces, transforming a simple terrace into a lush and inviting outdoor space that connects to the wider landscape.
Plants were carefully selected, not only for their beauty, but also for resilience. Hardy perennials and succulents tolerate the harsh late day sun, while larger leafy ferns and exotics tucked into sheltered corners provide a lushness and architectural structure. With trailing ground covers cascading down the side of their containers, softening the hard edges of the concrete.
Using contemporary concrete containers as the foundation for the diverse collection of plants, the garden becomes a natural extension of the apartments industrial aesthetic.
With the addition of a louvre roof this sheltered private city retreat offers a welcome escape, connecting its plant-loving owners with nature and framing the view beyond, while providing a sophisticated setting for entertaining
