Balcony & Rooftop Garden Design

Elevated Outdoor Spaces Designed for City Living

At PARC Concepts, we specialise in transforming rooftops and balconies into lush, liveable spaces that bring nature closer, no matter how high off the ground you are. Whether you're working with a high-rise terrace, a private balcony, or a flat rooftop ready for reinvention, our rooftop and balcony garden designs are tailored for impact, lifestyle, and longevity.

Rooftop Garden Design: Green Retreats with a View

Well-designed rooftop gardens can offer a private escape, a social hub, or simply a green outlook to soften modern architecture. We design rooftop spaces that respond to sun exposure, wind conditions, load-bearing capacity, and drainage requirements, all while creating a usable, beautiful extension of your home or building.

​

Your custom rooftop garden design may include:

​

  • Zoned areas for dining, lounging, or container gardening 

  • Lightweight planters with deep-rooted greenery or edible planting 

  • Shade structures, trellises, or pergolas for comfort and privacy 

  • Custom lighting and smart irrigation systems 

  • Weather-tolerant furniture, paving, and finishes 

Balcony Garden Design: Small-Scale, High-Impact

Balconies offer a unique opportunity for everyday connection to the outdoors, even in the heart of the city. Our balcony garden design services maximise limited space through clever planning, custom containers, and vertical planting solutions.

​

Balcony design considerations may include:

​

  • Wind-tolerant plant species and low-maintenance selections 

  • Planter placement to maintain safety and allow sun access 

  • Screening solutions for privacy without compromising views 

  • Lighting and mood-enhancing details for night-time use 

  • Integrating seating, storage, or outdoor cooking appliances

Structural, Stylish & Sustainably Designed

We work alongside engineers and certifiers to ensure that your rooftop or balcony garden is structurally viable and complies with all necessary codes. From weight calculations and waterproofing to fall protection and drainage, our designs are as technically sound as they are beautiful.

​

Plus, our balcony and rooftop garden plans align with your broader design vision, so they can complement larger projects such as:

​

  • Custom homes or dual occupancies 

  • Outdoor kitchens or spas on rooftops 

  • Green roofs with fire-retardant or drought-tolerant planting 

Our Process for Rooftop & Balcony Design

01

Discovery Call

We begin with a short call to understand your space, goals, and lifestyle, whether you're after a green escape, a quiet reading nook, or a rooftop designed to entertain.

02

Site Consultation

We assess your rooftop or balcony (in person or virtually), including exposure to wind/sun, weight constraints, and structural elements that will guide design possibilities.

03

Concept Design

We craft a detailed plan that includes: 

  • A scaled layout of your rooftop or balcony garden 

  • Planting concepts with suitable container types and materials 

  • Hardscape suggestions (tiles, screens, raised beds, etc.) 

  • Optional elements like lighting, water features, or built-in seating 

04

Final Plans Package

Once approved, we deliver a full design package with everything your landscaper or contractor needs to execute the vision, including compliance documentation if required.

05

Project Support (Optional)

We can stay involved during construction and planting to ensure design intent is carried through, and we’re happy to recommend trusted local trades and specialists.
