City Rooftop

Landscape design: Secret Gardens of Sydney

Location: Sydney, Australia

This rooftop garden is on the top of a twenty-five-story building surrounded by other skyscrapers. Geometric shapes are essential to the design of this space, in which a circular area with grass dominates the scene. A table, chairs, and two benches, visually separated by wood, turn the front area into an eating or resting nook.

The wooden seats frame the roof and provide a seating area where the space and the views can be enjoyed.

The geometrically shaped bushes are a formal element, while the lavender and iris plants add a free and easy air.
