No. 30 Balconies & Rooftops · Modern Farmhouse
Urban Rooftop Garden with Wooden Greenhouse
This urban rooftop garden features stone pavers, weathered timber raised beds and planters, a rustic wooden greenhouse, and timber Adirondack chairs clustered around a metal fire pit beneath a pergola.
Design notes
Modern farmhouse design keeps things honest: white board-and-batten or painted brick, black-framed windows and doors, standing-seam metal roofs, cedar posts and beams. Outside, that means gravel and bluestone rather than fancy paving, a big lawn, raised beds, a porch or pavilion with a fan, and simple furniture in black or natural wood. Lighting is gooseneck barn lights and warm string lights, never anything glossy.
What to look for
- Weight — lightweight planters and mix, no wet soil in stone pots
- Wind and privacy handled with screens and planters, not walls
- One purpose per balcony: dine, lounge or grow
