wall, incorporating a wide range of fresh herbs
which the user could pick to make a relaxing
herbal drink. Aralia often use green walls in their
schemes and believe them to be highly effective
in providing not only an amazing sculptural
feature, but also really useful when wanting to
hide/screen unattractive views or walls.
No roof terrace would be complete without
some form of shade pro tection, and here an
automated shade awning was used over the
main seating area, in addition to a full on outdoor
room with additional seating for those cold, wet
days, with its very own green roof.
The roof terrace also boasted a 3 x 3m screen, on
which power point presentations could be shown,
or even just ambient photography and video to
set the mood as required.
Following on from the success at RHS Chelsea, St
George commissioned Aralia, to design a series
of seven penthouse roof terraces at Chelsea
Creek, London. After three years of hard work
the terraces have now been completed and
subsequently celebrated with a BALI Principal
Landscape Design Excellence Award, which was
awarded in December 2015.
Michael Bryn-Jones, Managing
George PLC commented:
Director,
St
“We are excited by the BALI Design
Excellence Award, which is a mark of the
high standard of design that Aralia has
implemented at Chelsea Creek. Aralia has
created terraces which are the epitome
of innovation and luxury, as part of our
Penthouse Collection. With the penthouses
due for completion in the coming months, it
is great to see that the designs are creating
such a well-deserved buzz for their high
standard and creativity.”
