About the Project
01
Bespoke Design
Bespoke design elements were tailored to the building’s historic setting and modern use, creating a landscape that balances character, function, and contemporary style.
02
Dedicated Skilled Team
Experienced, skilled staff delivered the roof garden safely, with specialist knowledge of build-ups, drainage, loading, and roof-level planting.
03
City Centre Working
Careful planning and coordination of deliveries ensured safe, efficient working with minimal disruption in this busy city centre location.
04
Importance of Substrate Soils
Specialist substrate soils were essential to provide correct weight, drainage, and nutrients, supporting healthy plant growth and long-term roof performance.
What Our Staff Says
“Tailors Corner was a challenging but really rewarding project to work on. Installing a bespoke roof garden six storeys above a busy city centre required careful coordination and teamwork, especially with the floating floor and custom steel planters. Seeing the finished sky garden come together with the selected trees and planting made all the effort worthwhile.”

About the Project
CREATING A
GARDEN IN THE SKY
Tailors Corner presented a unique set of challenges, with a bespoke roof garden delivered six storeys above a busy city centre.
Combining innovative design with complex logistics, the project required a carefully coordinated approach from start to finish.
Working closely with Kinley Systems, we installed an innovative floating floor alongside custom made steel planters with integrated cantilevered benches. Every element was purpose designed to suit the constraints and ambitions of the site.
The roof garden was completed with specimen shrubs and trees, hand selected specifically for this project, resulting in a striking and functional sky garden for future occupants to enjoy.
