Little Britain Penthouse

Our client in Farringdon faced two distinct problems that were significantly impacting their enjoyment of their beautiful terrace space. The first issue was highly visible and rather unsightly, very large air-conditioning units housed in metal containers that dominated the view and created an industrial eyesore in what should have been a relaxing outdoor environment.

The second challenge was a privacy concern that made outdoor dining uncomfortable. The terrace faced directly onto apartment buildings opposite, meaning when they sat down for meals outside, they were looking straight into their neighbors' windows. This lack of privacy made the space feel exposed and awkward, preventing them from truly relaxing and enjoying their outdoor area. Both problems needed solutions that would enhance rather than compromise the terrace's functionality and aesthetic appeal. They wanted to create a proper garden feel for the terrace while addressing these practical concerns, disguising the air-conditioning units without completely blocking necessary airflow, and creating privacy screening that felt natural rather than like an obvious barrier.

The transformation was remarkable. The air-conditioning units completely disappeared into the lush garden landscape, while the privacy screening worked perfectly, when seated at their outdoor dining table, our client could no longer see the apartment block opposite. Both solutions exceeded their expectations, creating a beautiful, private garden terrace that felt like a true outdoor sanctuary in the heart of the city.
