- This garden makes innovative use of recycled and reclaimed objects, with seating made from old bathtubs and planters fashioned from defunct industrial lighting units

About the Garden
This quirky urban balcony forms part of the first home of two young professionals. With an ever expanding collection of houseplants, herbs and windowsill chillies, these are budding plant enthusiasts and keen cooks longing for some outside green space.
The design encompasses relaxed seating and dining areas, surrounded by plants at different levels to create the effect of being within a larger garden. The balcony鈥檚 outside walls act as spaces for 鈥榣iving鈥� pictures and shelves for plants. The planting focuses on easy-to-maintain sempervivums, succulents, grasses and culinary plants, providing year-round interest.
Repurposed objects used as planters, upcycled furniture and sculptural works make this a creative space in which to relax.
