Three urban oases with next-level landscape design

Whether you’re relaxing solo with a glass of red or playing host to a party of 30, this rooftop refuge by Eden Tree Design promises maximal comfort. The townhome’s crowning glory is a four-by-fivemetre pergola by Solicanada, adaptable to rain, sun, temperature change and wind at the click of a button for all-season enjoyment. A lounge space and linear kitchen-bar are separated by a landscaped transition with maroon-tinged ipê decking underfoot. The placid water surface of a custom illuminated 2.5-metre-long box fountain gently overflows onto a bed of glossy black beach pebbles, drowning out the city noise. Greenery disguises the existing vinyl siding in more ways than one: a wall of edible plants and flowers flanks the fountain, while ground cover, grasses and shrubs in dark metal and resin planters add pops of brilliant chartreuse to an otherwise neutral palette of materials.
