the prince roof garden

Canberra, Australia

Crafted Developments

Located on the Kingston Foreshore, this roof garden offers extensive views across the water. Its design divides the garden into two distinct zones: a large open space to the north and a small intimate courtyard to the south.

The larger open area flows from the internal entertaining area out to a large patio. The space continues to a small informal lawn surrounded by a wildflower meadow. Within this meadow a small fire pit court takes full advantage of spectacular views over the Kingston foreshore and Lake Burley-Griffin.

An informal path connects the lawn to the productive part of the garden in the south, comprising a circular herb garden surrounded by fruit trees and other edible plants. The space culminates in a small courtyard adjoining the loggia, the perfect place for a hammock, and the paper.
