Asian roof garden

Asian-inspired roof garden

Azaleas, maple trees, ferns and well-placed boulders: the Asian design of this roof garden quickly becomes appa­rent. The terrace is part of a new buil­ding and was desi­gned accor­ding to the client’s wishes from the outset. The front part is charac­te­rised by the small lawn and the flowe­ring shrubs in the left-hand corner, espe­ci­ally the large rhodo­den­dron, which attracts atten­tion with its large flowers, parti­cu­larly in spring, and also provides privacy. The rear part of the terrace can be reached via the step­ping slabs in a gravelled area. Here, away from the large seating area, there is a small, cosy spot in the gravel from which you can look out over the entire garden. The orga­ni­cally curved shapes of the beds and the poly­gonal shape of the step­ping stones give the long roof garden a playful and natural struc­ture and echo the Asian design style.
