Staying in contact with nature is not always easy in city life. Roof and terrace gardens make use of the parts of a building that otherwise sit empty, turning them into green, liveable spaces.
At Ardıç Peyzaj we build gardens that work with their surroundings on roofs, terraces and balconies, carrying outdoor comfort up to the higher floors.
Green Spaces Above the City
A roof or terrace garden is not only a visual addition; it is a solution that improves the quality of daily life. Planned properly, the area becomes genuinely functional and usable at different times of day.
Landscape built in these spaces:
- provides places to sit and rest
- adds visual value to the building
- offers a natural setting inside the city
During design, the intended use of the space and its spatial potential are weighed together.
Technical Planning and Infrastructure
Unlike ordinary garden work, roof and terrace gardens demand specific technical solutions. The floor build-up, waterproofing and drainage systems are all planned carefully.
The work covers:
- waterproofing and drainage solutions
- lightweight, suitable substrate systems
- irrigation infrastructure
- plant placement
Handled together, these produce a safe and sustainable installation.
Plant Selection and Compatibility
Plants for the upper floors are chosen with wind, sun exposure and limited soil volume in mind.
Resilience, maintenance needs and how well a plant suits its position are all considered, so the planting scheme lasts.
Site-Specific Design
Every roof and terrace garden is planned around the characteristics of its building. The size of the area, its load capacity and the way it will be used form the basis of the design.
This is what produces spaces that are balanced and sustainable, aesthetically and practically.
