A newly built penthouse apartment on the King's Cross development, this large, square roof terrace had exciting views across the City.

​

Having moved from a larger house, the clients were keen to maximise their outdoor space and to use it as an additional living and entertaining area.

​

The design solution introduced a level change to break up the space and to create different zones within the garden, including a raised deck for relaxing and enjoying views and a lower dining area. Natural stone, timber decking and pebbles were combined to add visual interest and textural variation.

​

Large evergreen shrubs give height and shelter to the space, while salvias, ferns and hostas provide textural variety and seasonal interest. A contemporary lighting scheme creates drama and atmosphere at night and extends opportunities for enjoying the garden after dark.

​

This design was recently selected as the winner in its category at the APL (Association of Professional Landscapers) Awards 2017.
