A ‘secret’ garden for modern city living, this development on an island site in Fulham, West London is a mix of new and existing housing, office and retail space and restaurants. The first-floor garden provides a communal space for the residents and office workers who share the space.

The roof terrace design is derived from the concept of a Californian dry garden which complements the approach to the new architecture. The gardens are planted with Palms, Yuccas, Cordylines and Agaves, which float in raised ‘islands’ on pale paving to. Coloured stainless steel and ceramic tiles enrich the palette. Fountains set on a curve add a refreshing strand of water to energise the space.
