Project Description

This 700-square-meter rooftop garden offers a serene escape for sunbathing and evening gatherings beneath the canopy of large willow trees, providing a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city. Our design aimed to create a shaded area with a strong sense of enclosure, ensuring intimacy and tranquility.

With fewer environmental constraints related to light, we had more flexibility in choosing plant species, but the existing design posed limitations on what we could alter. To ensure that the large willow trees, which will eventually dominate the roof garden, had ample space to grow, we raised the flower beds accordingly.
