Aperols and a view

This roof terrace offers some amazing views of the Barbican and the London Museum dome. These views needed to be celebrated. We framed them with planting to create a contrast between the urban surroundings and the soft planting, creating intrigue and wonder.

The roof terrace which looked stark and hostile is now inviting and very comfortable complimenting the beautiful interiors designed by www.frankinteriors.co.uk. This was achieved by making considered choices of materials despite the fact that the existing flooring couldn’t be changed and we had to work with the existing weightload bearing of the terrace.

The planting is mainly Mediterranean so that it can cope with the very sunny and hot aspect as well as the cold and winds during the winter. It also brings a sunny holiday feel to this London City roof.
