Evergreens, country, vertical gardening and other fashionable techniques.

1. A garden in the spirit of classics

Evergreens are a classic design of roof gardens. They are very sculptural and good in each other’s company. Another plus is that they act as a completely successful background for a variety of colors.

You can add to them very relevant today «vintage» roses with flowers of a characteristic shape. In the example above, climbing roses in pots, petunias and refrain — lianas forming a lush bush are used.

The roof garden must be stylistically connected with the interior, otherwise both will look strange. Here, for example, the garden continues the theme of modern classics set by the interior.

2. Arrays of colors

We see a similar style in the «hanging» garden of the Regina Hotel Baglioni: elegant forging and pink-tinged flowers, only here it is numerous flowering vines. One of the leading trends is to use in the garden, including in the roof garden, not a set of different colors in the spirit of a mixborder, but large arrays of plants of the same type and color. One or more — fractional is not in fashion.

3. Modern, concise

The theme of the roof garden can only be outlined slightly, especially if the interior is very «laconic», as was done in the Moscow penthouse in the example below.

The garden on the penthouse terrace is quite minimalistic: it is marked by several large thuja. Thanks to laconism, such a garden has a good opportunity for further development. The authors of the project: Helen Miroshkina, Michael Miroshkin. Photo: Zinon Razutdinov.

4. Landscape style

Vertical gardening with the help of unpretentious cereals is one of the most relevant techniques today. Compositions of drought-resistant plants like ochitki also look good. Modern landscaping technologies allow you to create a thin layer of drainage with soil that will not weigh much and will allow you to cover a decent area with plants.

5. Designer furniture

Designer furniture can transform a neutral space into an outstanding one. An example is the Edra deck chairs and armchairs on the penthouse terrace in Moscow.

6. The garden under the dome

The roof garden looks luxurious under a glass dome: then it also acquires the function of a winter garden.

7. Regular garden

And if someone likes a regular style, then for inspiration you can use the views of the garden on the roof of a historic Italian villa in Pesaro. Such a garden will create a contrast in relation to modern urban development, the effect of moving in time and space.

8. Here and now

There are styles that exist contrary to fashion and therefore form their own special niche, especially country style and bright annuals. No matter how much fashionable landscape designers suggest that minimalism, restraint, meadow grasses are relevant in our time, sometimes you want to bring color and joy to the garden.

A quick way to do this is to put pots with annuals like petunia, lobelia, viola. It is best to arrange and hang them at different levels to create a height difference, a game, a kind of landscape.
