Situated 43 stories above the busy streets of the Gold Coast, our clients’ terrace enjoys the best of many worlds – vast skyscapes, starry nights and wild weather events. Dazzling sunsets and blazing skyscraper lights. The hum of urban energy on the streets below. A cozy, ever-changing environment perfect for a morning coffee, afternoon lemonade or evening cocktail around the fire pit.

We started the garden by laying down a ground plane of Evo2/e porcelain tile pavers on a floating pedestal system; added a custom curved aluminum planter system from our friends at Ore; placed planters from West Elm, and planted them with mixed succulents and herbs for an understated feel. A custom steel and ipe screen of our design offers privacy and a backdrop to black bamboo plants. We also ran a gas line to power the Ore fire feature, installed a hidden irrigation system, and brought in sleek, comfortable tables and chairs from Holly Hunt.

Lastly, FX Luminaire lighting fixtures bring the evening garden alive as the sun sets and the city lights glow.
