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.
