ABOUT THE PROJECT

Located in the heart of Surry Hills this inner-city pad oozes charm and style, with very busy clients flying overseas weekly with work, it’s vital that it supports a zero maintenance, lock up and go lifestyle.

But zero maintenance doesn’t mean boring, with its bespoke fabricated planters replicating the clean sharp lines of the building’s historical façade, our client is drawn outside for those critical rest days, to lay in the sun, entertain friends or just take in the dramatic city skyline views.

Using planters at different heights doesn’t just create outdoor zones, but points of privacy and vistas of green that can be viewed from inside. A blend of architectural shrubs, ground covers and succulents make up a simple and unified planting palette that can handle those hot exposed winds as well as neglect.

Critical storage and BBQ facilities run along the wall, creating a clean visual look whilst providing practical solutions to inner city living. By day, this balcony garden is calm and relaxing, whilst at night it comes to life as an entertainer’s delight.
