A new private terrace and garden within the Hoxton Street Conservation Area, on the flat roof of a four-storey building with commercial premises on the ground floor.
The upper level two-bedroom apartment has been refurbished and reorganised to provide stair access to the terrace above through a new skylight. The balustrade of the terrace, with black metal railings is set back from the perimeter, so it is not visible from the road.
While the accessible areas of roof terrace are decked and tiled, the borders of the roof parapets have been planted with low maintenance grasses on a sedum mat to foster local biodiversity and improve the setting of the roof garden. A black painted steel pergola provides cover for outdoor sitting, and a simple kitchen unit with sink and stove has been installed for al-fresco preparation of food and dining. From the top of the building, fantastic views are available across the rooftops of Shoreditch towards the City of London, and so a barren flat roof has become an urban garden connected to the city through vistas, and domestic use.
Light flows in through the new skylight while clean, simple finishes compliment the light and airy feel of this upper level apartment.
An outdoor kitchen and lounge area protected by a pergola on the roof terrace provides al fresco dining opportunities with views over London.
