It’s always going to be a fun garden when part of the brief is not to block out the viewing of the ‘carpark shenanigans’ below.
Set above the lively rhythm of Fitzroy, this balcony garden wraps around the apartment living space, and brings layers of soft greenery to frame the view out and contrast against the hard edges of its inner-city backdrop.

With a mix of edibles and ornamental planting, this garden doesn’t ignore its setting but rather plays with it – juxtaposing urban grit with soft textured planting. The planting allows for privacy in some areas of the garden, while more open foliage screening in other areas allows for views of the city activities happening beyond.

Whether it’s enjoying a coffee in the morning sunshine, harvesting herbs for dinner or limes for evening drinks, this garden is a lush sanctuary in the most unexpected of places.
