Pyrmont
This rooftop garden in Sydney is a true testament to how an inner-city apartment can be transformed and softened. We designed the hardwood timber screen and raised planter box, planted with Crasula ovate, in an attempt to break up and soften all the concrete surrounding the balcony. Tom & Jerry Egg Pots with Raphiolepis indica ‘Oriental Pearl’ and under-planted with Dichondra ‘Silver Falls’ highlight the corners of the balcony while a large Yucca elephantipes under-planted with Dichondra ‘Silver Falls’ sits in a Tom & Jerry Rubix.
A cascading Barney Rubble water feature helps to distract from the busy city below. The furniture was designed to create a lounging and dining area with the same rooftop garden.
