Jo Thompson, Docklands roof terrace (SE)

Styles: Contemporary, Courtyards and small terraces, Formal, Lighting, Minimalist, Roof terraces, Water, Wildflower, Wildlife

Aspect: North, East, West

Jo Thompson was asked to transform a terrace of London stock bricks and concrete paving into a lush contemporary urban meadow. Boasting a Thames-side position on the 7th storey, the terrace enjoys spectacular views over the Docklands riverscape. The design reflects the river below by incorporating two water features, one of which is set into a slate table with water falling as a highly-controlled sheet. The lightweight planters include a mix of evergreen and architectural plants, and perennials and grasses to contribute to the 'urban meadow' brief. Thompson has gone on to landscape two further terraces at the property.

There is not a published plan for this garden yet.
