Front garden design incorporating a Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS) alongside a green roof bike shed

Bespoke Verde Uno

PROBLEM

  • A London family residing in a Georgian terrace sought to renovate their front garden to be both aesthetically pleasing and functional.
  • They required secure, discreet storage for five bicycles—two adult and three children's bikes—without compromising the garden's design.
  • The challenge was to integrate bike storage seamlessly into a high-end landscape design that also prioritized sustainability.​

SOLUTION

  • AtlanticBike collaborated with award-winning design studio Butler & Parker and landscape gardeners Acacia Gardens to create a bespoke green roof bike shed.
  • The shed featured a low-profile design with a metal frame, timber cladding, and a green roof planted by the designers themselves.
  • The structure was finished in opal green to complement the home's brickwork and the surrounding garden palette.​

APPROACH

  • Custom Design: Developed a tailored bike shed with a unique footprint and access layout to fit the available space and meet user needs.
  • Green Roof System: Constructed with a subtle incline for effective drainage, a waterproof membrane, and a drainage filter to support the planting scheme.
  • Installation: Collaborated with Acacia Gardens to ensure the shed sat perfectly atop a meticulously laid porous brick base, requiring no adjustments upon installation.
  • Integration: Butler & Parker completed the green roof with their planting design, adding 3 square metres of green space to the garden and enhancing the overall aesthetic.
