Yellow, Green Terrace Ideas and Designs

This penthouse apartment situated in the heart of the capitol demanded a stunning and inviting roof garden to really give the client a stunning outside space in the ultimate Urban setting. Working with the Landscaper, we helped develop this amazing covered seating pergola. The design incorporated an extruded aluminium framework with motorised aluminium louvres to give the client shade control but to give the space weather protection. We then included remote operated LED perimeter lighting within the roof along with an integrated heater.

The old feather-board fence was renovated, clad with vertical battens and painted, making a smart backdrop for the plants. The vertical stripes and colour scheme reflect elements from within the house, to create a cohesive environment both inside and out. © Deb Cass

Despite it’s location, this is not a country style garden. The client’s brief was for a structured, minimalist look. Concrete in it’s many forms features strongly in this garden. Concrete blocks, a by-product of concrete production, were sourced for the substantial retaining walls. And, steel U-Piles, usually used in civil projects, made the perfect material for another, very narrow retaining wall where space was at a premium. Water from the custom made concrete channel spills into the Corten steel water feature. The plants shapes had to be strong enough to hold up against the strong geometric lines and at the same time soften and support the structures. The main shapes are provided by pruned Box and Casuarina balls, heavily pruned grey Helichrysum and the softer, free flowing shapes of grasses. Trees give height, Acer Senkaki and Magnolia denudata are the main feature trees.

Flach, langestreckt und blendend weiß – so stellt sich der hochmoderne Flachdachbungalow auf den ersten Blick dar. Auf den zweiten Blick begeistern Details wie die großformatigen und rahmenlosen Glasflächen. Ein Saunakubus im Garten unterstreicht den mondänen Charakter dieses außergewöhnlichen Objekts.

Vom Gartentraum zum Traumgarten. Ein Garten kann nach den individuellen Wünschen der Besitzer gestaltet und umgesetzt werden. Die Fachbetriebe des Verbandes Garten-, Landschafts- und Sportplatzbau unterstützen Sie dabei gerne. Wer es sportlich mag oder Wasser als Entspannung sieht, kann durch einen Schwimmteich seinen Garten aufwerten. Die Größe eines Schwimmteiches lässt sich sehr gut an die Größe des Gartens anpassen.
