To maximize the small footprint, the space is organized efficiently. A spacious built-in sitting area doubles as a dining space, complemented by an array of outdoor cushions that invite guests to relax and linger, fostering a laid-back ambiance.
The garden's charm is heightened by the diverse colours and textures of surrounding plants. Handpicked to create an intimate atmosphere, lush foliage, vibrant blooms, and trailing climbers envelop the space, offering a refreshing escape from the urban bustle below. Silvery grey and green foliage provide an elegant backdrop, while splashes of yellow and orange flowers from achillea and echinacea add cheerful vibrancy and playfulness.
A collection of climbing plants, including evergreen jasmine 'Star of Tuscany', an orange variety of honeysuckle, and clematises, add a soft touch to the building's hard textures and create appealing frames for the views. Garden herbs like rosemary and thyme infuse the space with fragrance and flavour, while olive trees introduce a hint of the Mediterranean. Designed for low maintenance, the garden features plants that require minimal water and care.
To make the most of the space, a small vertical garden has been cleverly incorporated behind the bar table. This vertical oasis adds a vertical element of natural beauty.
This rooftop garden offers an unparalleled outdoor experience, blending functionality, exquisite design, and spectacular views. Its vibrant and versatile character captivates with its small but impactful form.
