Urban Green Sanctuary
Lake View, Chicago · 2024
Lush Escape In the City
Designed as a lush escape in the heart of the city, Urban Green Sanctuary transforms this rooftop into a vibrant garden retreat. The client's vision was to create a serene, nature-filled space where they could unwind and reconnect with the outdoors without leaving their home.
The design incorporates a thoughtful mix of custom planters, ipe wood decking, and artificial turf to create distinct zones for relaxation and gardening. A steel pergola provides shade over the main seating area, while privacy screens ensure a secluded feel. The dedicated gardening zone allows the homeowners to grow their own herbs and vegetables, adding both function and beauty to the space. A built-in outdoor kitchen with counter seating makes entertaining effortless.
This rooftop retreat is a true urban oasis, offering a peaceful escape from the bustling city below. Thoughtfully placed lighting extends the usability of the space well into the evening hours.
