Roof Garden - Wapping, East London
This riverside terrace garden has been designed with relaxation and sophistication in mind. The focus is on simplicity, combining high-quality features with a hint of playfulness, to avoid detracting from the magnificent views of the River Thames and Tower Bridge beyond.
Yellow Balau smooth planed hardwood decking will provide a contemporary finish to the flooring throughout, arranged to draw the eye out across the river and chosen to reflect the terrace’s waterside character.
To the left hand side of the terrace a slightly raised deck will provide a
platform for a lounge area, featuring a large mattress weatherproof
mattress and cushions, from which to relax and enjoy the view of the bridge. A small waterproof storage area beneath this platform will keep the cushions dry and clean over the winter months.
A stunning illuminated cube water feature, flanked on either side by eye-catching Cordylines contained in self-illuminated planters, will be installed along the rear boundary wall directly opposite the patio doors, to create an impressive welcome to the space. Further framing to the terrace will be provided by an illuminated planter installed beside both of the pillars supporting the balcony of the flat above. Planting has been selected for low maintenance, all year interest and wind tolerance.
The right hand side of the terrace will form the main dining area. Featuring funky illuminated curved seating and three bespoke mobile decking stools around a central glass topped illuminated table, the area will offer ample opportunity for alfresco entertaining both day and night. Groups of column lights of varying heights will be set adjacent to the dining area and on the raised platform. These will include decorative columns with coloured blue inlays, as well as plain rectangular pillar lights. The lighting focal point will be a fun sculptural 6-pointed star placed in the right hand corner of the terrace.
