📋 Project Brief
To create a modern, contemporary rooftop garden designed for relaxation, outdoor living and entertaining, making the most of its incredible elevated surroundings.

Despite these difficulties, our team worked hard to overcome the challenges and deliver an exceptional finished garden.
