Baugruppe D2
Somewhere between the daily madness of real estate sharks, major investors, and gentrification, a popular alternative model has developed in Berlin over the past decades – the building group (Baugruppe). The D2 building group, consisting of fifteen families, was fortunate enough to secure one of the last vacant plots in a central location in Neukölln. The design task for IFUB* was to create a building that is well-integrated into the city, ecological, yet modern and friendly, with lots of greenery and shared spaces in the courtyard and on the rooftop.

Building groups are a very popular form of creating new housing in Berlin. Multiple parties come together, pool their interests and finances, and jointly b... More

Wapping Roof Garden
At an ickle 50 sqm wrap-around extent, surrounding a wharf penthouse apartment atop a picturesque river setting, this roof garden is perfectly secluded & favourably sheltered, sited above River Thames by Tower Bridge. Neglected for too long, we undertook a meticulous design journey to remake the terrace, guided by a gracious clientess. 5 distinctive zones foster continuous utilisation, delineated by planting , surface & lighting diversities.

With our clients in Portugal for parts of the year, this rooftop echoes their Mediterranean lifestyle. The plants endure well in this 360-degree sunny and windy prospect, resisting River Thames’ airstreams, heat & pollution.

Clerkenwell Roof Garden
Our first biodiverse roof garden way back in summer 2014 was driven by two major factors: the lack of greenery in the street beneath, and the clients’ adoration in their countryside garden.
Perched above the junction of Old Street & Goswell Road in trendy Clerkenwell EC1, the rooftop garden is oblong, spanning a 20-metre length x 3 metres. We created a sibling rooftop on the top level of this duplex penthouse to grow fruit & vegetables.
To alleviate this oblongness, we designed 3 zones defined by surface changes from decking to sandstone and grass. Each area features its own planting style: the deck has shrubs, the stone herbs and the grass native trees.

Farringdon Roof Garden: A Pollinator Paradise
Snug brightly on the 6th floor of the Ziggurat Building in Saffron Hill, London EC1, this art deco roof garden, albeit only 30 sqm in size, is one of the most unique projects we’ve created.

With a barrister client who’s an ornithologist & pianist, we were invited to develop the terrace back in 2013. We resurfaced the roof terrace with Balau hardwood decking and black granite paving, detailed with angular LED strip lighting.

Surrey Roof Garden 2021
Perched high above the picturesque North Downs in Surrey, south of London, this lush roof garden is a biodiverse oasis for both owners & wildlife. Featuring an abundance of biota-friendly species, grown in 50 bespoke planters, there’s focal interest in every season.
The bespoke planters create 3 main zones for displaying modern sculpture by the keen art collectors clients, placed symmetrically within perpendicular troughs as key focal points. Our clients have downsized into a brand-new modern penthouse apartment from a large country home, where this roof garden is of great importance for well-being, socialising & displaying art.

Bank Roof Garden
Completed in fall 2022, this large roof garden maximises biodiversity to the fullest, with abundant wildlife-friendly species for all seasons.
