Rooftop garden with large black planters filled with various plants, a wooden bench, and a small wooden picnic table on gray tiled flooring, under a clear blue sky.

De opdracht

De eigenaren van dit appartement op de achtste verdieping in Amsterdam waren duidelijk in hun briefing: creëer een groene oase op het dakterras van 70 m² met een echt ‘tuingevoel’. In slechts een paar maanden tijd transformeerde het kale terras naar een weelderige daktuin vol bomen, klimplanten en vaste planten, met ruimte voor een eettafel, lounge en voldoende speelruimte voor de kinderen. Door het toevoegen van groen werd het terras niet alleen een fijnere plek om buiten te leven, maar brachten de bomen en planten ook schaduw in de zomer en een prachtig uitzicht vanuit binnen, het hele jaar door.
