Project Brief

Location: Twickenham
Sector: Retail
Time: 4 Weeks

The client wanted to transform a disused rooftop terrace into a safe and welcoming outdoor space for staff to relax, collaborate, and enjoy surrounding views. Our goal was to create a functional, garden-like breakout area while ensuring structural safety and minimal disruption.

5 Key Steps in the Design Process

01

Feasibility Study

We began by assessing the terrace’s load-bearing capacity to confirm the project was structurally viable.

02

Planning & Compliance

We supported the client in securing planning permissions, essential due to the rooftop location.

03

Site Access Strategy

With no internal access, all materials and waste were craned on and off the second-floor terrace.

We delivered a fresh, functional rooftop space that supports agile working and enhances staff wellbeing—turning an overlooked terrace into a standout feature.

05

Safety & Finishing

Perforated mesh screens provided safety and privacy. Bespoke benching and reinstated lightning protection completed the transformation.

04

Design & Build

Old slabs were removed and replaced with artificial grass and custom decking. The space was reimagined to feel like an outdoor garden.

What we did

  • Planning support and feasibility checks
  • Removal of paving and window cleaning crane
  • Crane-assisted material delivery and waste removal
  • Tanking of external walls
  • Installation of custom decking and artificial grass
  • Installation of perforated mesh safety screens
  • Reinstatement of lightning protection
