Urban Garden creates a multi-purpose roof garden for this condominium in Toronto’s chic Yorkville district.
Built in the 1980s, the rooftop of this Yorkville condominium complex had never been developed for use by its owners.
New features include mature plants, a walking track, water feature, outdoor kitchen, dining areas and numerous areas for seating.
Graduations in the ground plane make the space inviting and landscaping mitigates the scale of tower behind.
The addition of a green roof on the clubhouse reduces water run-off and presents attractively to overlooking residences.
A pergola provides shade and defines an outdoor room for large gatherings.
Careful design of the extensive planting beds ensures colour and interest in all seasons.
The fully equipped outdoor kitchen adds to the possibilities for entertaining.
Wall plantings and large tree planters help de-mass the vertical space, while a water feature provides sound and animation.
Urban Garden’s design welcomes residents to their green oasis in the heart of Yorkville.
