Furnitubes transforms Croydon roof garden

Located in the heart of Croydon, Green Dragon House was an anonymous and vacant 1960s office building prior to its recent redevelopment into 119 luxury award-winning one and two bedroom apartments. With a main entrance located on the High Street between retail premises and service yard, there was no scope for any significant outdoor space for the residents at ground level. The answer was therefore a roof garden on the 10th floor, affording stunning views over Croydon and into central London, and beyond.

The garden includes an outdoor kitchen and barbecue, table tennis, and seating for over 60 residents and their guests, with shade (and rain) cover provided by two tensile fabric canopies. Furnitubes’ RailRoad external furniture was the perfect choice for Green Dragon House, with its modular design allowing seating and planters to be linked to create large structures that can be left freestanding, without the need to bolt down into and potentially compromise the waterproof roof membrane. The RailRoad products were perfectly complemented by the use of the Hollo range coffee tables, and a bespoke dining table with Hollo stools completed the suite of products supplied.
