THE ROOF
The old roof was stripped down to the quarry tiles and a new roof was installed.
Parapet covers of copper were installed.
An area was set aside as a roof garden. Paving stones were laid down and a tall iron fence was installed to outline the garden.
A gardening company was retained to design and maintain the roof garden with shrubs and seasonal plantings. An automatic watering system keeps everything green.
The roof garden is furnished with tables, umbrellas and disposable plastic furniture.
The plastic furniture is cheaper and easier to maintain than more traditional heavy wood or metal furniture.
The two water tanks are refurbished, repaired and cleaned on a regular basis.

  1. This kind of rooftop garden is a perfect spot for gatherings and entertaining visitors. It would also be a good place to relax, meditate, and calm our tired senses. While surrounded by stunning buildings, it can also be an inspiring place to sketch or craft works of art.
