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. Designed for a commercial investment bank, the 160sqm roof garden is part of 3 roof terraces abounding in architectural trees, shrubs & grasses. Using native meadow perennials, we’ve paired these with grasses to create a lavish city grassland, situated behind the Bank of England, with stunning city views above the centre of London, framing vistas of St Paul’s Cathedral, the Shard and the Walkie-Talkie.
