Bespoke Verde Forma

PROBLEM

• A homeowner in a Georgian terraced house in North London sought to renovate her front garden to be both aesthetically pleasing and functional.
• She required secure, discreet storage for two bins and three bicycles—without compromising the garden's design or the property's historical character.
• The challenge was to integrate storage seamlessly into a high-end landscape design that also prioritized sustainability.​

SOLUTION

• AtlanticBike collaborated with the homeowner to create a bespoke green roof bike and bin shed.
• The shed featured a low-profile design with a metal frame, vertical FSC-treated timber cladding stained in Walnut, and a green roof planted by the homeowner herself.
• The structure was finished in olive-grey to complement the home's brickwork and the surrounding garden palette.​

APPROACH

• Custom Design: Developed a tailored storage unit with a unique footprint and access layout to fit the available space and meet user needs.
• Precision Fit: Designed the shed to wrap snugly around the property's bay window, achieving millimetric precision to ensure a seamless integration.
• Green Roof System: Constructed with a deeper roof tub for effective drainage, a waterproof membrane, and a drainage filter to support the planting scheme.
• Material Selection: Utilized weather-resistant FSC-treated timber for natural appeal, arranged vertically with minimal gaps to highlight the wood's texture.
• Integration: Ensured the shed sat perfectly atop the newly laid sandstone tiles, requiring no adjustments upon installation.
