Bartholomew Landscaping were contacted and commissioned directly by the Client on
a design and installation basis, to deal with what could only be described as a
colossal space in the heart of Chelsea.
Bartholomew’s brief was to transform this wall to wall paved terrace into an all
year round stunning roof garden: as the space was some seven metres in height, a
variety of mature trees were introduced in bespoke containers in order to provide
a more intimate feel.
The paving surface was then divided into a series of rooms, for dining, comfortable
lounge seating and bar facility. The specific areas are defined with hard wood decking
surfaces that broke up the monotony.
The bespoke bar area was built with integral fridge, sink unit and mixer tap, overhead
illumination was from beautifully hand crafted Moroccan lamps. Several different
lighting moods were created, that include, strip lighting to illuminate surfaces,
up-lighters for plants and trees, as well as wall lights.
A feature wall was created using four back lit panels that were embossed with the
outline of a winter birch tree. Overhead heaters provide warmth for all year round
use.
Needless to say, the Client was absolutely delighted with the overall transformation.
