Landscaping of a penthouse terrace

The clients wanted to protect themselves from future overlooking from a hotel under construction, while maintaining a bright and open space “without feeling enclosed”. The emphasis was therefore placed on the light and natural feel of the project, breaking straight lines and favouring country-style plants.

The plants were selected by the landscape designer for their resistance to the harsh weather conditions imposed by the project's location. A mix of evergreen plants, grasses and perennials ensures a rotation of blooms and foliage for a terrace that looks beautiful all year round.

Finally — as the clients are regularly away — an automatic irrigation system ensures the space is relatively self-sufficient.
