Rooftop Workplace for Tomorrow

Challenging our perception of workplaces and offering inspirational ideas for the future, ‘Rooftop Workplace for Tomorrow’ will position the garden as an extension to the working office, utilising unused urban rooftop space.

Designer Patricia Fox at Aralia Garden Design will produce an innovative and thought-provoking environment that provides an alternative to the fast paced city offices that we have become so used to. Using a heavily technologically-driven design, the garden will feature state-of-the-art equipment from Toshiba, including a large projection wall, a wide screen TV and laptops and tablets throughout.

A green roof and wall will form a central feature, inter-planted with fresh herbs – visitors will be encouraged to pick from these and create their own herbal teas to drink in the garden.

The planting - a mix of green foliage, silver blue foliage, and white flowering plants - is understated, so that it offers a calm, tranquil environment for the garden user to work in and to enjoy.

Walworth Garden Farm – founded in 1987 in a heavily built-up area of Southwark - wants the public to consider that an office does not need to be inside and with four walls. Technology meets tranquility in this garden for the future, inspiring, invigorating, relaxing and refreshing the user.
