Roof Terrace St, 1090 Vienna

The specifications of this two-storey roof terrace initially seemed simple: to maximize the greenery while also maximizing the usable space for dining, cooking, bathing and lounging. However, the implementation was not so simple. Due to the limited construction height, the use of large trees was not possible.

A tower in the Servitenviertel.

Instead, ceramic pots in the appropriate dimensions provided a solution for this problem. The pots required the construction of a green framework that did justice to the dimensions of the terrace and put the proportions in the right balance, surrounded by small trees, shrubs and grasses. In order not to visually restrict the space, unusable areas, such as the areas under the inwardly inclined glass railing, were used for planting. Thus, there was enough place to equip the space with a generous amount of furniture. The large ceramic pots as well as the whirlpool presented a challenge in this planning, which was solved through the collaboration of suppliers.
