Design for a roof garden - Area B


Upper timber decking platform, to be constructed as a free-standing unit which will rest on top of existing concrete slabs.

Large specimen exotic palm in ornate pot to be illuminated at night - it will be provide a strong and attractive focal point when viewed from the sitting room.

Solid timber panels are to be attached to inside of existing metal rails to improve visual appearance.

Spot lights used to illuminate specimen plants and features.

Blue glass bricks are used to represent a flowing stream across the garden providing interesting contrasts in colour and texture.

In limited sections the existing square concrete slabs are to be lifted and replaced with a combination of blue glass bricks and fine grade white gravel.

The majority of planting is to be contained in decorative terracotta pots.
