The Sky-High Entertainer’s Garden in Docklands was featured in Backyard and Garden Design Ideas: Small Gardens, Balconies and Courtyards Magazine (Edition 5, 2015), recognised for transforming a high-rise rooftop into a bold and highly functional outdoor space. Designed around panoramic views and exposure, the layout uses structure, screening, and planting to create a sense of refuge within a demanding environment.

Layered levels, geometric forms, and integrated seating shape a garden that feels immersive and expressive, while still supporting everyday use and entertaining. The result is a rooftop landscape that balances creativity with performance, demonstrating how considered design can elevate even the most constrained urban sites.
