LUXURY ROOF TERRACE & GARDEN DESIGN IN HIGHBURY N5
Set above a classic Highbury streetscape in Islington, this bespoke roof terrace was designed as a calm and contemporary outdoor retreat, seamlessly extending the home’s living space within this sought after part of North London.
Architectural Planters, Lighting & Structural Greenery
The scheme transforms a previously unused flat roof into a highly functional and elegant terrace. Warm toned, large format Millboard decking creates a clean, expansive feel, while a frameless glass balustrade preserves uninterrupted views across surrounding gardens and rooftops.
WHY CHOOSE OUR EXPERT HIGHBURY ROOF TERRACE CONSTRUCTION TEAM?
A key feature of this London roof terrace is the integrated timber clad perimeter, which incorporates built in planters. Low maintenance greenery softens the architectural lines, creating a natural contrast to the precise detailing. Discreet uplighting within the planters adds depth and atmosphere, enhancing the space into the evening.
Local Structural Expertise & Planning Permission Guidance
Lighting design plays a central role throughout the build, with warm LED lighting carefully integrated into the decking, seating, and vertical cladding. This layered approach brings the terrace to life after dark, creating a welcoming environment ideal for both relaxing and entertaining.
At one end, a dedicated lounge area offers a comfortable, sheltered space, while the open deck allows flexibility for sun loungers or social gatherings. The result is a sophisticated and highly usable roof terrace, combining modern design with practical outdoor living – perfectly suited to urban homes across Islington and wider London. Another successful instillation done by London Roof Gardens.
