Set amid a canopy of London plane trees, this apartment terrace garden incorporates a unique succulent collection inherited from the owner’s late mother. A restrained scheme featuring streamlined pots and minimalist furniture centres around two al fresco areas and complements the home’s contemporary architecture. The garden is a breathtaking and modern study in colour, texture and form, which is just as well, since it’s visible from all aspects of the apartment. Marrying practical considerations – garden furniture and pots designed to withstand climate extremes – and timeless beauty, Treetops is a fitting and fun setting for a beloved succulent collection.
