Picture this is a unique contemporary roof garden that paints a tranquil scene within a bustling Mediterranean city. Both natural and man-made elements are used to create a contrasting blend of materials and colours that form an oasis for relaxation.
The simplicity of the design is reflected in the use of clean lines and strong structural materials. The Porphyry stone slatted floor draws you into the garden and provides interest with a myriad of patterns that are held within the stone. Black slate holds and frames the planting as a backdrop, while the canvas walls create a light airy feel to the garden. The swan-necked stainless steel planters form a sculptural centrepiece to the garden, which contain a number of hanging plants. The canopy provides a shaded area for seating and allows a good view of the garden with its striking architectural planting.
So, just Picture This garden with its cool colours, bold features and eye-catching planting, hidden away from the busy city life, the perfect retreat from the world around.
