This small roof terrace lies on the north side of a Chelsea penthouse. Along a sunny balcony facing Stamford Bridge Stadium, the 2 spaces add varied habitats for both outdoor activities & plants.
While the sun-drenched balcony features a Lemon tree & aromatic herbs, the main rooftop is heavily shaded. The layout is an oblong acute triangle. To alleviate this awkward narrowness, we reused existing buff pavers, relaying them at an angle to increase depth.
By subtracting every 4th band of slabs and inserting new purple sandstone, a dynamic rhythm was composed, making bays onto which the raised beds & furniture were aligned.
3 capacious raised beds are configured into the angular grid, detailed in Iroko hardwood capping, castors & sculptural plants. Corkscrew Hazels accentuate the beds, underscored by Astelia & Carex. This planting scheme is architecturally engaging all year round, when in the deciduous phase the trunks unveil their captivating contortions.
A built-in bench is set into the raised beds’ front, clad in thick Iroko battens, with stainless steel uprights. Cavity lighting produces a warm ambience.
A limestone sculpture by Elliott Brotherton forms the main focal point of the roof garden, positioned by the entrance, relished in an indoor-outdoor manner. Named ‘The Hug’, the romantic art mimics a couple cuddling. The material was reclaimed from a demolition, its light tones illuminate the shaded terrace.
Planter troughs add contrast and practicality to the planting, contrasted by dark bowls for Silver Birches, mulched in Turkish red cobbles. Fitted with seating, heating, lighting, irrigation & bbq, the bluestone furniture 8-seater from Belgium is a substantial lifestyle feature, where evergreen planting adds valued privacy around it against the Chelsea skyline.
