Living roofs · planted terraces · seasonal care

Green roofs and elevated terraces shaped for calm urban living.

We create rooftop gardens, planted terraces, and layered outdoor retreats that turn unused upper levels into beautiful, practical landscapes. From Parisian courtyards in the sky to compact roof decks softened with grasses, herbs, trees, and tailored seating zones, every project balances horticulture, drainage, weight awareness, circulation, privacy, and year-round atmosphere. Our team combines planting intelligence, architectural detailing, and maintenance planning so each elevated space feels generous, rooted, and easy to enjoy whether you want a quiet breakfast terrace, a lush social roof, or a refined green extension of your home.

About us

We design rooftop landscapes that feel natural, welcoming, and intelligently built.

Our studio was formed around a simple belief: roofs and terraces should not be treated as leftover surfaces, but as valuable living environments with their own climate, rhythm, and character. We work with homeowners and property holders who want more than decorative planters. They come to us for layered planting concepts, durable material direction, intuitive pathways, privacy strategies, elegant dining and lounging zones, and an outdoor experience that feels coherent from the first sketch to the final maintenance schedule.

Every project begins with how the space will be used and how the roof must perform. Sun exposure, wind movement, structural limitations, irrigation needs, waterproofing interfaces, and visual relationships with the surrounding city all shape the design. Our planting approach combines evergreen anchors, seasonal texture, pollinator-friendly accents, and resilient species chosen for elevated conditions. The result is not a flat decorative roof, but a living composition that matures gracefully, frames views, softens hard architecture, and supports a calmer way of living above the street.

We also believe service should remain practical after installation. That is why we define maintenance pathways, access points, replacement logic for containers and substrates, and long-term care rhythms early in the process. Clients receive clear design intent, consistent communication, and a terrace or green roof that is beautiful to inhabit rather than difficult to manage. The best rooftop spaces feel effortless; behind them is careful technical thinking and a strong respect for both plants and people.

Company advantages

Why clients trust us with elevated green spaces.

Our work is rooted in real rooftop conditions, careful detailing, and an aesthetic language that keeps outdoor rooms feeling lush without becoming cluttered.

Context-Led Rooftop Planning

We begin with exposure, load considerations, access, drainage routes, privacy lines, and how people will truly occupy the roof. That means layouts are not copied from generic terrace boards. A breakfast deck, an entertaining roof, and a contemplative planted retreat all require different circulation widths, seating logic, substrate depths, and screening choices. Our planning phase brings these conditions together into a clear outdoor structure that already anticipates maintenance, furniture placement, and seasonal performance, reducing costly redesign and helping the finished roof feel resolved rather than improvised.

Planting Designed for Height

Elevated landscapes demand more than attractive plant lists. Wind, reflected heat, irrigation variation, and shallower soils change how species behave. We compose planting schemes around structure, resilience, seasonal interest, and manageable growth habits, mixing evergreen shapes with flowering layers, grasses, herbs, and sculptural foliage. The result is texture and softness that lasts, rather than a terrace that peaks briefly and declines. Clients appreciate that the planting feels generous from day one while remaining realistic for long-term care in rooftop conditions.

Refined Outdoor Living Layouts

A successful terrace is both landscape and room. We shape zones for dining, lounging, reading, entertaining, and circulation so each one feels connected yet distinct. Through level changes, built-in planters, benches, screens, pergola suggestions, and material continuity, we create elevated spaces that feel comfortable at different times of day and in changing seasons. That balance between softness and structure allows the roof to support everyday routines as easily as special occasions, with no area feeling awkward, exposed, or underused.

Technical Awareness from the Start

Green roofs and roof terraces depend on invisible performance layers as much as visible beauty. We consider waterproofing interfaces, drainage flow, irrigation strategy, container build-up, edge detailing, and maintenance access at the design stage, which helps avoid conflicts later. Even when our role is concept and layout focused, we document with technical discipline and collaborate in a way that supports smooth implementation. This practical awareness protects both the lifespan of the installation and the confidence of the client.

Seasonal Care Thinking

We design with maintenance reality in mind, planning clear access, sensible pruning needs, irrigation zoning, replacement pathways, and species combinations that remain attractive through changing months. Instead of creating a roof that looks finished only in peak summer, we aim for a landscape that keeps presence across the year: evergreen backbone, winter silhouettes, spring emergence, and summer abundance. This long view helps clients enjoy a stable, maturing space rather than feeling burdened by unpredictable upkeep.

Paris-Oriented Design Sensibility

Urban roofs in Paris often need to balance intimacy, elegance, and compact efficiency. We respond with a palette of calm materials, layered greenery, subtle screening, and compositions that frame the architecture rather than compete with it. Whether the brief calls for a contemporary planted deck or a softer garden room above the city, our visual approach remains measured and timeless. That restraint gives the landscape longevity and allows the greenery itself to become the signature feature.

Services

Specialized support for planted roofs and terraces.

Our services cover concept development, planting, space planning, detailing guidance, and ongoing care frameworks for high-quality roof environments.

Green Roof Concept Design

We develop planted roof concepts that organize technical constraints and visual ambitions into a clear landscape direction. This includes zoning, substrate-depth strategy, circulation, key views, planting character, and mood references that allow the project to move forward with confidence. Whether the brief is extensive greening or an intensive living roof, the concept is structured to be beautiful, maintainable, and legible to everyone involved in delivery.

Private Terrace Layouts

For residential terraces we shape practical outdoor rooms with planting, seating, dining, screening, and circulation working together. Compact spaces benefit from careful geometry, built-in elements, and visual layering, while larger roofs can support more varied experiences. We create terraces that feel generous and comfortable, with each square metre contributing to a clear atmosphere and daily usability.

Planting Palette Development

We prepare rooftop planting schemes tailored to exposure, irrigation, maintenance capacity, and aesthetic goals. Structural evergreens, ornamental grasses, aromatic species, flowering accents, and seasonal transitions are balanced so the composition feels full without becoming chaotic. The palette is selected for longevity and visual rhythm, not only immediate appearance, helping the garden mature with character over time.

Material & Feature Coordination

Decking tones, paving modules, screens, planters, benches, lighting suggestions, and water-conscious irrigation ideas all influence how the terrace is perceived and used. We coordinate these features to keep the landscape coherent and calm. Instead of treating planting as an isolated layer, we integrate it with the built environment so each element supports a singular outdoor identity.

Maintenance Frameworks & Seasonal Follow-Up

Long-term enjoyment depends on a roof that can be cared for sensibly. We provide maintenance thinking that may include pruning rhythms, irrigation review points, replacement planning, access guidance, and seasonal checks. This service helps preserve the intended appearance of the landscape while supporting plant health and minimizing avoidable deterioration. Clients gain a greener space that remains composed and enjoyable well beyond installation.

Modern rooftop service area with planters and dining space

A calm process from first conversation to established garden.

We listen to how the rooftop should feel, define priorities, and translate them into a planted environment with structure, softness, and technical logic. That process helps clients make better decisions early and enjoy a more coherent result later.
