About Urban & Terrace Oases
Before we place a single pot or lay any decking, our priority is structural integrity and waterproofing. We assess your terrace's load-bearing capacity and apply professional protective screeding, ensuring your new green space does not compromise the safety or durability of the slab below.
For us, a terrace is not just a platform for plants; it is a vital extension of your living environment. Our design philosophy treats the roof as a distinct architectural element. We move beyond simple surface decoration to create integrated spaces that stand the test of time.
The Structural Foundation
Urban terraces carry specific weight and environmental constraints. We begin with a rigorous site analysis, checking slab load-bearing capacities before proposing heavy planters or water features. Our structural process includes essential waterproofing and protective screeding to prevent long-term damage. We often utilize lightweight yet durable materials like WPC decking, MS pergolas, and high-density artificial grass to achieve a premium look without overloading the structure.
Green Walls & Verticality
In compact city spaces, floor area is limited, so we look up. Vertical gardens are a cornerstone of our urban work. By using bio-wall frames with automated drip irrigation, we create living screens that provide privacy, sound insulation, and a dramatic visual impact. This allows us to inject dense greenery into narrow balconies or small rooftops where horizontal planting would be impossible.
Ambience & Utility
An urban oasis should be as functional at night as it is during the day. We incorporate IP65-rated outdoor mood lighting into the design, highlighting textures and pathways to create a resort-like atmosphere. Whether you need a secluded meditation corner with a sculptural focal point or a robust rooftop bar for social gatherings, we tailor the hardscape and softscape to your specific lifestyle. Our goal is to make the city feel miles away, the moment you step outside.
