Rooftop Paradise - a windy roof terrace that became a romantic idyll

High up above the rooftops of a Swiss city, this windy roof-terrace was exploited to the maximum and transformed into a stunning private garden. A romantic idyll in the middle of the city, that borrowed stunning views of neighbouring trees and a panaoram across town.

Designed for a busy professional with a stressful job and a hectic lifestyle, this windy city roof terrace was transformed from an overgrown mess into a lush and beautiful garden oasis with the atmosphere of an English garden, to relax and unwind in. A contemporary garden inspired by the classic beauty of an English garden for city dwellers with a hectic lifestyle, that demands a relaxing and regenerating green oasis.

PICTURES (top to bottom): City Gardens® brings the harmony of Nature into town: out of the ashes of a windy, neglected roof terrace arose a garden paradise, created as a sustainable garden all year round, designed to thrive in the blistering heat of summer and the freezing temperatures and winds of winter; the rampant beauty of Parthenocissus tricuspidata; a palette of jostling summer colour.
