Type of project: Roof Terrace Refurbishment
In the heart of London’s financial district, Green Envee was commissioned to revitalise the rooftop terrace of a leading hedge fund office. The existing window boxes had become tired and uninspiring, failing to reflect the high-end, professional environment inside the building. The client wanted a solution that would enhance the terrace’s visual appeal, create a more welcoming outdoor space for employees and visitors, and align with the building’s premium corporate imageElegant, Low-Maintenance Planting for a City Rooftop
The client approached Green Envee with a clear objective — to transform the existing window boxes into vibrant, contemporary planting features that would breathe new life into the rooftop terrace. The solution needed to provide year-round greenery and visual impact, while requiring minimal maintenance, making it ideal for a busy commercial environment.
Space, Exposure, and Expectations
Working on a rooftop terrace in the heart of the City presented several unique challenges. The planting needed to withstand varying weather conditions and exposure to wind and sunlight without losing its visual appeal. Space was also limited, so the design had to maximise impact within a compact footprint. Finally, the finished result needed to match the high standards and expectations associated with a prestigious financial services client.
Bespoke Window Box Transformation
We supplied bespoke artificial planting designed to deliver lush, realistic greenery with zero ongoing upkeep. By carefully selecting premium artificial foliage suited to the terrace’s exposure and aesthetic, we were able to create a cohesive, contemporary look that instantly elevated the outdoor environment.
The finished result transformed the terrace into a welcoming, biophilic space — perfect for client meetings, employee breaks, and events. The client was delighted with the transformation, praising the improved appearance, low maintenance needs, and the professional impact the planting brought to their workspace.
