This garden consists of garden planters above a parking garage next to a high rise condominium building with 195 residents. The building was designed by the famed architect Frank Gehry, and is situated in the Cross Keys development, which was created by the pioneering Rouse Company, who also created the famous town of Columbia, MD. I designed the plantings for four main planters and two smaller ones. And, every year I design and install annual displays in one bed and four pots. The plantings are pollinator friendly with flowering perennials and ornamental grasses. My dad had previously designed the plantings for this garden; most of which has been replaced. I continue to oversee the maintenance of this garden. Landscape design and photo by Roland Oehme

This residential development in Midtown Manhattan created a gorgeous green space on the rooftop of their building for residents to enjoy. With lounge chairs, tables, and live plants, this rooftop space is ideal for entertaining or just relaxing and enjoying the view. With 360 views of New York City, including the iconic Chrysler Building in the background, this incredible rooftop is the pride of the building.

The rooftop is subdivided by a home office space and separate residential area. The terrace conversion introduces elements that create a multifunctional green roof and arboretum. A steppable green walkway, laced with thyme, is positioned between a diverse range of perennials and provides access to both spaces. Selection of the vegetation was inspired by the client’s French Alp origins. On the north terrace there is a designed sculptural fountain. This soothing focal element contributes to a sublime occurrence in the garden, set against the astounding Manhattan skyline. Photo credit: Eve K. Tremblay

This property in the Strand, London, a building beautifully reinvented for the the 21st century, where the glamour of the Art Deco period scintillates with decadence. This apartment is its equal with 360 degree views high above this landmark area of London. A newly refurbished mezzanine rooftop lounge for the penthouse required a wraparound decking terrace fit for a super yacht. An aged look was required, although new and completely unique, delicate lighting and seating areas. Complex curves at every corner and a lighting scheme to reflect the stars shimmering at night. Prime teak used to reflect the best quality timber as a bench reminiscent of a small yacht, bespoke in every way. This created a perfect exterior space to lounge under the custom made parasols. The pre-weathered finish was achieved with specialist oils created for the project. A simple arrangement of planters with an ever changing show of foliage to suite the seasons with Trachylespurmum Jasminoides, the fragrance is divine. Limited photography.
